    Notes:
    • This setting determines whether Point of Sale (POS) transactions placed on your Shopify channel will be imported into Khaos Control.
    • If this option is ticked, POS transactions will be imported into Khaos Control as standard sales orders and will need to be processed through Sales Invoice Manager.
    • If this option is unticked, the assumption is that you manage your stock levels for your POS transactions independently of Khaos Control and as such the orders do not need to be imported into the system.
