This document provides a step-by-step guide on how to activate items and packages for your online store using HirePOS. By following these instructions, you can select which items and packages are available for customers to view online.

To activate items for your online store:

1. Navigate to Setup > Preferences > Online Store.

2. Click the Setup Store Items button located at the top of the Layout tab.

3. Select the items you wish to display in the Online Store using the checkboxes provided.

4. Click the Activate Store Items button at the bottom of the list.

This process will copy the Item Code to the Website Code and the Item Description to the Website Description field.

Each Website Code must be unique. Items will also not be displayed in the Online Store unless they have a category assigned to them. For assistance with assigning categories, refer to the Item Categories help guide.

Packages can also be made available through your Online Store.

When configuring a package for the Online Store, ensure that the Package Code is populated with a unique code.

The Package Code must also be unique from all Item Website Codes used in your Online Store. To help prevent clashes between package and item codes, we recommend using a PKG- prefix for Package Codes.

For example:

• PKG-PARTY01

• PKG-WEDDING01

• PKG-SCAFFOLD01

Before activating a package, check that its Package Code is not already being used as either another Package Code or an Item Website Code.

When an Online Store order containing a package is accepted via the Online Store area in HirePOS, the package is added to the HirePOS order as its individual component items.

The package is used to group and present the items together in the Online Store. Once the order is accepted, however, each item contained within the package is added to the HirePOS order individually.

This allows the individual items to be managed through the normal HirePOS hire or sales workflow, including availability, quantities, scheduling and other item-level processes.

To set an item as a featured item on your Online Store home page:

1. Click on the item you wish to edit.

2. In the item details screen, select the Featured Item checkbox located at the bottom.

3. Click Save Changes to apply your changes.

To view your Online Store, click the Options dropdown at the top-right corner of the screen, then select View Store.

Once your items and packages have been configured and activated, they will be available to customers through your Online Store, subject to their category and other Online Store settings.
