POS
Locations
Depending on the connector, one POS connection can be linked to one or multiple locations. Chift gives you the possibility to manage locations in your software or let Chift manage them for you. We typically recommend letting Chift manage locations for you.
Different possibilities:
-
The connector can be linked to multiple locations:
-
Chift manages the locations. One consumer is linked to one connection which is linked to one location. Whenever you use our Unified API, you don’t have to pass the location_id query parameter, as we filter data for you.
-
Chift does not manage the locations. One consumer is linked to one connection which might be linked to multiple locations. Whenever you use our Unified API, you have to pass the location_id as query parameter, otherwise we return data for all locations.
-
-
The connector can only be linked to one location: In that case, you have the possibility to pass the location_id as query parameter but it’s not mandatory.
This implementation gives you the freedom to choose how to use Chift depending on your situation.
