Hi. How can we help?

What is a test environment and why do I need one to set up my WooCommerce Integration?

Setup

  • Retail POS for Mac or PC
  • WooCommerce Integration

Answer

If you have an existing Retail POS store or WooCommerce store, or both, it's recommended to work with a web developer to create a test environment and test the integration thoroughly. A test environment should be a close-as-possible replica of your live stores so you can simulate the changes that would occur during the set up of the integration while causing less disruption to your live store and customers.

Once your WooCommerce integration is fully set up and tested, you’ll be able to sync all sales, customers, products, and inventory between your active Retail POS and WooCommerce accounts.

Additional Information

If you run into any issues at the time of connecting WooCommerce to Retail POS or when running the tests, please read:

Once you have thoroughly completed the integration testing in the test environment, follow the steps to disconnect your test account and connect your live WooCommerce with Retail POS:

  1. In Retail POS, click Setup -> Apps -> WooCommerce settings.
  2. Click on the pencil icon.
  3. Click Disconnect WooCommerce Account.
  4. Once disconnected, follow the steps in The WooCommerce Integration: How does it work and how do I set it up article to connect the live WooCommerce account.
