Configuring The Module

Before using this module, you need to download and install that module on your installation. We've written a tutorial that explains how to install a module on NexoPOS. Once the module is installed, only the administrator will be able to configure it, but this goes after having performed the following tasks :

Create An API Client

First of all we need to create a API Client. If you want to learn more how it works, you can read this guide. However, while creating your client, you need to specify a different redirection URL, which should be like : "https://yourwebsite.com/dashboard/mns/callback".

Make sure to replace "yourwebsite.com" with your domain where NexoPOS 4.x is installed. Regarding the "Name", you can writing anythnig that gives sense to you. Once you're set, press "Save".

Once you're done, you'll end-up with something like this. Now you need to grab the App ID and the Secret Key, to save it to the Settings > Update Settings.

Now, you'll see a settings page with two fields. Put the App Id and Secret key respectively on their fields.

Once you're done, save the settings.

How to link To The Platform (my.nexopos.com)

Now, you'll need to create a link with my.nexopos.com. For that, you need to access the menu "Dashboard > Update".

You'll then see the authentication page that request you linking your NexoPOS installation with my.nexopos.com.

You just have to click on "Authenticate" to launch the authentication process. This will take you to my.nexopos.com and you should see a page like this.

Now you just have to approve the request and you'll be redirected to NexoPOS 4.x. Now you'll need to select to which license you would like to attach your installation. Note also that once a license is attached to that domain until the license is disabled, you won't be able to attach that license elsewhere.

You now have to click on "Save" to proceed and you're done.

How To Update NexoPOS 4.x

Once you have validated your license, while accessing the menu "Dashboard > Update", you'll land on the update center.

Every time you access this page, NexoPOS checks if there is a new update. In case there is a new update, you'll be able to see that like this.

Now, by clicking "Update Now", you'll be able to proceed with the update.

Despite NexoPOS 4.x perform a backup of your database, you still need to keep your database safe.

Deactivate Your License

Sometimes, you might want to attach a license to another domain. In that case, you'll need to click on "Deactivate the license". This will however prevent the current installation from being able to install updates until you assign another license to that installation.
