What is the Location Selector?
When you first access Shopfront on a new device, you will be prompted by a Location Selector dialogue box. Each location selection will cause Shopfront to behave differently, your options may include a Register, Outlet or Global Mode.
| Register | Each register location can only be used by one device at a time, if you need to access the sell screen, you'll need to select a register (If you would like to add more registers please visit the Account & Billing section of Shopfront). |
| Outlet (Not using a register) |
To access Shopfront for non-selling related reasons, select Not using a register, there is no restriction on how many devices can access this location simultaneously. |
| Global Mode (Not at an Outlet) | If your Shopfront vendor has multiple outlets, and you are accessing Shopfront for non-selling related reasons and you don't wish to view data for a specific outlet, you may select the option Not at an outlet (Global Mode) (if you plan on printing receipts or statements, it is best to choose a register or outlet) |
