**Note** Only for AmberPOS Webstore Integration 2.0, does not work with earlier versions.

 

Part 1: Setup

Prior to importing transactions, you must first complete the following:

1. Create a vendor called "Inhouse" or choose an existing vendor to assign webstore skus to.

2. Create a Department called "Services" or choose an existing Department to assign webstore skus to.

3. Create the follow SKUs:

     - "Shipping" This imports shipping information from the webstore. 

     - "Webcoupon" This imports any coupons from the webstore. 

     - "WebCredit" This will import credit from the webstore. 

     - "WebDiscount" This will import discounts from the webstore. 

     - "WebGiftCert" Used for importing web gift certificates from the webstore. The value of the gift certificate will be applied automatically during import.

     - "GiftCertificate" Used for importing gift certificates from the webstore. The value of the gift certificate will be applied automatically during import.

     - "OldSku" If the item has no SKU number online, then AmberPOS will import it based on the old SKU the item used to have.

  1. NF to OLDSKU: Can be used with SKU Not Found error to force sale through. This will put the sale for the missing item under a SKU in AmberPOS called OLDSKU.
  2. Force Web Tax: This allows you to override the tax settings in Amber and force a sale through with the tax that was charged on the web. Before using this function ensure your taxes are properly setup on BigCommerce.
