To start, you need a Shopify account. This step involves signing up for Shopify, setting up your online store, and adding products.

1. Visit Shopify and start a free trial.
2. Sign up and complete the registration.
3. Set up your online store and add products.

For detailed guidance on setting up a Shopify store, refer to Shopify’s Help Center.

In this step, you will configure your Shopify store to generate API keys, which are required to connect Shopify with Vendtill POS.

1. Log in to your Shopify account at Shopify Admin.
2. Copy your online store URL from the "Online Store" section.
3. Navigate back to the homepage and go to Sales Channels > App and Sales Channel Settings.
4. Click Develop Apps and enable "Allow Custom App Development".
5. Click Create an App, give it a name, and proceed.
6. Go to API Credentials > Configure Admin API Scopes.
7. Enable all read and write permissions, then click Save.
8. Refresh the page to see the Install App option. Click it.
9. Once installed, click Reveal Token Once, copy the Admin API Access Token, and save it securely.

Now, you will enter your Shopify credentials in the Vendtill Backoffice to establish a connection between your online store and the POS system.

1. Log in to Vendtill Backoffice.
2. Go to Settings > Features and enable WooCommerce/Shopify Integration.
3. Click Save.
4. In Settings, go to E-commerce Integration.
5. Click Add E-commerce and select Shopify.
6. Enter your Shopify Store URL and API Access Token.
7. Select your Shop and Terminal.
8. Click Save.

Once integrated, you can view and manage Shopify orders directly from the Vendtill POS app.

1. Open the Vendtill POS App.
2. Tap Open Orders and go to New Digital Orders.
3. Select an order and choose Accept or Reject.
• If the order was paid online, rejection is not allowed.
4. To process an accepted order, tap View, check the details, and complete the payment if necessary.
5. For prepaid orders, the system will finalize the order automatically.

You can track and manage all online orders from the Vendtill Backoffice, where you can also download reports for record-keeping.

1. Log in to Vendtill Backoffice.
2. Go to Reports > Digital Orders.
3. View order status:
• Pending – Order placed but not processed.
• Completed – Order finalized.
4. Download reports in PDF or CSV format as needed.

Now, your Shopify store is integrated with Vendtill POS, allowing you to manage orders efficiently from both the POS app and Backoffice.

• Always use Vendtill POS as the master system—do not create products directly in Shopify after integration.

• Ensure product codes, names, and IDs match between Vendtill and Shopify to prevent duplication and sync errors.

• Product images should ideally be uploaded via the WebStore Products section for better quality.

• Regularly backup Vendtill data before making major changes to avoid data loss.

• One-way sync is enforced: Vendtill → Shopify only. Shopify changes will not reflect back in Vendtill.
