IN BRIEF
Point of Sale (POS) settings within the Customer Portal allow customers to purchase eligible items online, including Punch Passes and other POS products. These settings control whether POS is visible in the Customer Portal and whether purchases are limited to logged-in customers or available to all visitors.
Overview
The Customer Portal Point of Sale settings determine how and when POS items appear to customers online. When enabled, customers can view and purchase eligible POS items directly from the Customer Portal or Mobile App, provided the account has a compatible payment gateway configured. These settings are especially important for organizations that sell Punch Passes or other retail-style items online.
Accessing the Feature
- From the main navigation menu, go to Settings.
- Select Customer Portal.
- Select Other Settings.
- Expand the Point of Sale section.
