My wine/product appears on my website but not on my POS. How can I get it to show on both?
Your product most likely has been assigned a Category on your Webiste, but not your POS system. Check the Category header under the product in questions and make sure that the product has been assigned a category under both the "Website" and "POS" subheaders. Simply hit edit and check the areas of the POS/Website that you wish to add the product to!
I have uploaded a colour image to my product page, however it appears within the system and on the website in black and white. What is happening?
It is most likely the case that the image was saved with a CMYK colorspace.
CMYK is the color space most often used for Print documents. We reccommend re-saving the document with a web friendly color profile (in Photoshop this is Save for Web), and making sure it is saved as RGB. RGB is the standard web friendly color space.
I get an error when I try to generate the shipping labels for one of my orders. Could it be something to do with the product settings?
Product weight, along with Packaging weight, is taken into account when generating your shipping labels. Make sure that if you are generating shipping labels within Vin65 to include weights on your products!
