Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

When using the POSitive API to connect to e-commerce sites you need to make settings within POSitive so web orders are processed correctly. Go to E-Commerce, Web Store Setup and select the Developer Integration tab. Note: Magento is a legacy feature and is no longer supported.

Under the Settings tab you must enter settings for:

List Price - This is the price level you wish to display on the web site that all shoppers see.

Default Shopper Group - This can be a price level assigned to a specific customer group assigned under the Defaults tab.

Currency - Select your local currency.

The other options should only be set after consulting with your web site developer.

Next, select the Defaults tab.and enter settings for:

Default Sales ID - This is the ID for the employee responsible for handling web orders and will be listed on the completed invoice.

Out-Of-Region Tax Rate - This is usually set to your Tax Exempt tax description.

In-State Region Rate - This is usually set to your State Sales Tax description.

Default Terms - You probably won't be carrying a balance on web sales, so set this to None.

Default Price ID - This is the price level assigned to web sales.

Default Category - When orders are imported POSitive checks the Customer Center to see if the customer information is already there. If not, POSitive creates a new entry and assigns the customer to the specified group. In our example new web customers are assigned to the Web customer category.

Your Country and Your Region - These options are not used with the API. Do not click Retrieve Country/State.

External Processor - This is the Tender Definition you've created for web sales and is reported on your End-of-Day reports.

Default Charge Card Type - Uses same setting as External Processor.

Default On Account Type - Leave blank unless you are offering to carry a balance on web sales.

Default Station Number - This is the station in POSitive designated to handle web orders.

Import Orders as Tax Inclusive - Leave unchecked unless you are in Canada or another country that uses tax inclusive pricing.
