    1. In the Sync orders section, under Register, you will see a new Online register. The dedicated eCom register is created automatically to track online sales separately from your in-store purchases and prevent orders from outside trading hours opening your closed register.

    2. Under Sync inventory levels, select one or more outlets to sync your Retail POS inventory with eCom. Inventory from these outlets will be combined and synced with your online store.
