Getting Started
Point Plus POS includes a multi-tenant e-commerce platform. Each merchant gets their own branded storefront with automatic inventory sync from the POS system.
✅ Included in Standard Plan: Online store is included with Standard and Enterprise plans. No additional monthly fees.
Store Setup Wizard
Step 1: Branding
- Access your store setup wizard (link provided via email after registration)
- Upload store logo (recommended: 200x60px PNG)
- Upload banner image (recommended: 1920x400px)
- Choose your unique store URL slug (e.g., "crescent-pool-supply")
- Your store will be at:
/store/your-slug
Step 2: Theme Customization
- Select primary color (brand color for buttons, links)
- Select secondary color (accents, highlights)
- Write store description (appears on homepage)
- Add business hours, contact info, location
- Preview changes in real-time
Step 3: Payment Configuration
Configure payment processing for online orders. See Processing Fees Guide for NMI setup.
Step 4: Inventory Sync
Choose how POS inventory syncs to online store:
- Unified Stock: POS and online share same inventory (real-time sync)
- Reserve Percentage: Allocate % of POS stock to online (e.g., 30% online, 70% in-store)
- Separate Stock: Maintain independent inventory counts
💡 Recommendation: Use Unified Stock for small businesses. Use Reserve Percentage for businesses with high in-store demand.
