What does AmberPOS control on BigCommerce?

This article is going to outline what fields you can change on BigCommerce, when you have purchased the Webstore Connector for the software. They've been organized into 3 types:

  • AMBERPOS ONLY: These are required to be controlled from AmberPOS, and will cause problems with sync, or will be overwritten on BigCommerce.
  • CONFIGURABLE fields are ones that we can choose to sync, or can update from AmberPOS.
  • BIGCOMMERCE ONLY: No support in AmberPOS for this field, and must be changed on BigCommerce's control panel.

Options are (AMBERPOS ONLY)because we need to match the item structure in order for us to sync the SKU, and the Product.

SKU (AMBERPOS ONLY) Due to how orders get imported in Amber, and in order for sync to work, we have to control the SKU for options.
