Frequently Asked Questions

Will Smart Online Order also work for retail?

Yes, but you must use the Woo-Commerce Payment Gateway if you have a retail store. The only limitation is that if you are using modifiers to determine the size or other options – you won’t be able to know how many different size or options was sold as modifiers aren’t deducted from inventory and won’t be shown on printed receipts. Furthermore, it does not print shipping labels. Click below to learn more
