Installation 📦

👩‍🌾 Merchant account

First things first - go ahead and create your merchant account.

🔌 Shop connection

tip

Prerequisite 🚧
A Pendoo merchant account is required prior to connecting your shop.

Log into your brand-new account and head over to your dashboard.

note

The initial connection allows us to prepare the stage by creating the necessary foundation upon which the installation will be carried out. Most importantly, we set up a 2-way communication channel that is used exclusively between you, the retailer, and us, the sales channel. This channel is created on a per-retailer basis to ensure data security and integrity.

Enter your domain and click Connect. Establishing a connection can take up to 3 minutes to complete.

note

The domain can either be the custom domain you use for your Shopify shop, e.g. my-store.com, or it could be your permanent Shopify address, e.g. my-store.myshopify.com.

🏗 App installation

tip

Prerequisite 🚧
An initial connection is required prior to installing the app.

If the connection has been made successfully, your dashboard's Connected shop card should have been updated.

This is where the magic starts - you can now install the app. Go ahead, click on Install app!

tip

Access scopes - what are Shopify access scopes?

To facilitate the creation and processing of orders and in order for Pendoo to route them appropriately to your shop and/or specific location, certain access scopes are required. These include scopes around products, customers, orders, locations and fulfillments. They will be explicitly requested upon installation.

If you have questions or concerns, please get in touch with us at info@pendoo.io.

👾 QR Code placement

Your customers will scan the QR code to launch the Pendoo web-app. You will find your store's QR code(s) in your Pendoo account dashboard.

In your store, the strategic placement of QR codes is key. The goal is for your customers to have easy access to your checkout points, which is what your QR codes really are! Depending on your store's layout, this could mean a single larger QR code at the entrance. Or maybe at checkout. For bigger stores, we recommend the placement of smaller QR codes per product section. This way, your customers can easily launch the app and check out without having to carry their items from section to section.

After all, we are trying to make things easier, not complicate them 😌
