Edit Products (POS) Fundamental

Note: Before a product can be Edited in the following way, it must first be added by using the POS module to set up an API Connection that will use POS as a source.

This section of the guide will walk you through the process of Editing Products (POS). Any time a Product has POS as its Data Source, to Edit that Product, the following user manual information can be applied.

Any time Product data is sourced from POS, your ability to Edit that Product is limited. This is because POS implements an automated data feed that is updated regularly, and changing the data manually will interfere with the update process.

Here is an example of a finished product page that can be edited using Edit Products (POS):
