- Open your store in StoreConnect.
- Go to Key Relationships > Store Variables and select New.
- Enter the following variable details:
- Name: POS Path
- Key: pos_path
- Value: pos
- Select Save.
You'll be able to sign in to POS at yourstore.com/pos
Option 2: use subdomain for POS access
If running your POS on a subdomain, set up a Store Variable as follows.
- Open your store in StoreConnect.
- Go to Key Relationships > Store Variables and select New.
- Enter the following variable details:
- Name: POS Domain
- Key: pos_subdomain
- Value: pos
- Select Save.
You'll be able to sign in to POS at pos.yourstore.com
Access a POS register via URL
Salesforce admins can use this method to test a POS connection. You'll need the register code. This is the code set up when the outlet was created, e.g. myoutlet-location-123.
- In your browser, enter the relevant URL (per above).
- Sign in using your Salesforce credentials.
- Follow the prompts and enter the register code to access the POS outlet.
Once signed in, you'll be able to use your browser like a POS terminal for the outlet.
