Activate Your POS Register

Activating your register links your physical device to your StoreHub BackOffice account, allowing it to process sales and sync data.

1. Ensure the StoreHub POS app is installed on your register (as described in the previous section).

2. Open the 'StoreHub' app. On the first screen, you will see the 'Activate Your Register' page.

Note:

If you experience prolonged loading times during activation, ensure your internet connection is stable and that your device's operating system is up to date.


Deactivate Your POS Register

Deactivating a register removes its link to your StoreHub account. This is useful if you are replacing a device, moving a register to a different store, or no longer using it. Deactivation is done from your BackOffice.

1. Log in to your StoreHub BackOffice using a web browser.

Troubleshooting

Solution

Prolonged loading time during register activation.

  1. Check your internet connection: Ensure your Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection is stable and strong. Try restarting your router if necessary.

  2. Restart the app: Close the StoreHub app completely and reopen it.

  3. Restart the device: Turn your POS register off and then back on.

  4. Check for app updates: Make sure your StoreHub POS app is the latest version. Refer to the 'Android: Updating Operating System & StoreHub POS App' article.

"Invalid Credentials" error during activation.

  1. Double-check your details: Carefully re-enter your Store ID, email, and password, checking for any typos.

FAQs

1. Why do I need to deactivate a register?

You would deactivate a register if you are replacing the physical device, moving it to a different store location, or no longer using that specific register. It frees up the register license in your BackOffice.

2. Can I activate a register that hasn't been added in BackOffice?

No, you must first add the register in your StoreHub BackOffice before you can activate it on a physical device. This ensures your device is properly linked to your store's settings and products.

3. What happens to my sales data if I deactivate a register?

Deactivating a register does not delete your sales data. All transactions processed on that register are synced to your BackOffice. Deactivation simply unlinks the physical device from your account.

4. How do I update the StoreHub POS app?

You can usually update the app through the device's 'App Store' (Sunmi App Store or iMin App Store) or by following specific instructions in our 'Android: Updating Operating System & StoreHub POS App' guide.
