    Opencart POS Sub-Domain

    Updated 11 October 2023

    A sub-domain is a subsection of the website that can exist as a new website without having a new domain name. Sub-domains can be used to create memorable URLs for different content areas of your site.

    Similarly, Opencart POS Subdomain module allows the admin to have the POS sub-domains. This module creates memorable sub-domain URLs for each POS outlet. The separate web page address will be created for each outlet automatically as per the outlet name.

    This way the admin can have POS sub-domain which can be accessed by POS users for accessing the POS panel/outlets. The admin can also add a prefix for the sub-domain URLs.

    Note:  This extension is an add-on to the OpenCart Point Of Sale System(POS)Before using this add-on, you must have first installed the OpenCart Point Of Sale System(POS).

    • Enable or disable the module.
    • Every POS outlet gets a unique URL.

    pos user

    For Example –

    Windsor Outlet is a POS outletNow, the prefix Webkul and the outlet name Windsor outlet will be added to the POS base link pos-oc.webkul.com –  and creates the sub-domain URL as – webkulwindsoroutlet.pos-oc.webkul.com for the POS users assigned the Windsor outlet.

    Another Example –

    Canada Outlet is a POS outlet. Now, the prefix clothing and the outlet name Canada outlet will be added to the POS base link pos-oc.webkul.com –  and creates the sub-domain URL as – clothingcanadaoutlet.pos-oc.webkul.com for the POS users assigned the Canada outlet.

    This way the admin can create the subdomain URLs for every POS outlet. The separate web page address will be created for each POS outlet automatically as per the outlet name.
