Connecting to Your Store

Desktop & Mobile Only

This screen is only shown in the Desktop and Mobile apps. Web users access the POS directly at yourdomain.com/pos and log in with their WordPress credentials.

Connect Screen Overview​

When you open the WCPOS Desktop or Mobile app, you'll see the Connect screen. This is where you manage your store connections and user logins.

Adding a New Store​

  1. Enter your WooCommerce store URL in the text field (e.g., https://mystore.com)
  2. Click Connect
  3. You'll be redirected to log in with your WordPress credentials
  4. After successful login, you'll be returned to the app

Multiple Stores​

You can connect to as many WooCommerce stores as you need. Each store appears as a separate card on the Connect screen, showing:

  • Store name and favicon
  • Store URL
  • Logged in users for that store

This is useful if you manage multiple locations or businesses.

Multiple Users Per Store​

Each store can have multiple users logged in simultaneously. This is helpful for:

  • Shift changes - New cashier can log in before the previous one logs out
  • Multi-register setups - Different cashiers on different devices
  • Quick switching - Easily switch between user accounts

Adding a User​

Click the button next to "Logged in users" to add another user to that store.

Switching Users​

Click on a user badge (e.g., "Brenda") to open the POS as that user.

Removing a User​

Click the × on a user badge to log that user out of the store.

Removing a Store​

Click the red × button on the store card to remove it from your list. This logs out all users and removes the store connection from the app.

Demo Store​

At the bottom of the screen, you may see an "Enter Demo Store" link. This connects you to a demo WooCommerce store to try out WCPOS features without affecting your own store data.

Troubleshooting​

Can't connect to my store?​

  • Ensure the WCPOS plugin is installed and activated on your WordPress site
  • Check that you're using the correct URL (include https:// if your site uses SSL)
  • Verify that the WooCommerce REST API is accessible
  • Check that your user account has POS access permissions

Connection keeps failing?​

  • Try accessing yourdomain.com/pos in a web browser first to verify the plugin is working
  • Check your site's error logs for any issues
  • Ensure your server meets the minimum requirements
