      How It Works

      When an order is approved through the City Hive dashboard the system will trigger the transaction to appear in your POS. This allows you to quickly process the orders and ensure that the inventory shown online is accurate at all times.

      In the case that an order is edited after the transaction has been successfully synced, you will need to manually make the adjustments in the POS.

      How to Identify Syncing Errors

      1. Click the filter at the top left of your order page  
      2. Next to Advanced Filters choose "Define It" 
      3. Create the following filters from the options below
      Option 1: Order did not sync back to the POS
       
      Option 2: Transaction amount changed after the order successfully synced

       How to Resolve Syncing Errors

      Option 1: Order did not sync back to the POS
