Outlets

Last updated: June 20, 2026

An outlet is a retail store or sales location: a physical place, tied to a warehouse location, where retail orders originate and point-of-sale terminals are managed. It is how the system models your shops alongside your online stores.

What you will learn
  • What an outlet represents
  • How it ties to a location
  • The status of point-of-sale checkout

Anatomy of the screen

An outlet has tabs for its Main details, Settings, the Users (staff and operators) assigned to it, and its POS Terminals. It carries a code, name and description, links to a warehouse location, and an active flag.

How it behaves

An outlet maps to a location, so the sales it makes draw from that location's stock and a shop's inventory is the location behind it. It holds the staff who operate it and lists the point-of-sale terminals that belong to it, giving each physical store a place in the system that retail orders can be attributed to.

Honesty note. Point of sale (POS) is not yet a working checkout. A POS terminal exists as a record an outlet lists, and a retail order can reference one, but there is no till interface, transaction entry or cash-drawer management. Today, in-store sales are entered through the retail order screen; a dedicated POS checkout experience is a roadmap item.

Edge cases and good practice

  • One outlet per real store, each tied to the location holding its stock.
  • Do not expect a till yet; enter counter sales as retail orders for now.
  • Assign staff to outlets so sales can be attributed to operators.
