Revel: Settings
Updated over a month ago

You can adjust the settings of a location using Revel as the POS.

Editing location settings is only possible with the user role Edit location settings. If your user role does not include this, contact an Administrator user in your account and ask them to provide you access. Learn how to change user roles.

Follow the steps in this article to access the settings page of your POS. Some settings in this article can also be changed for individual channels.

Enter your Revel establishment name which is found on your Revel dashboard.

Custom menu

The Revel custom menu is used to access POS products during product sync. Read this article to learn how to configure a custom menu in Revel.

When making changes to the following settings, ensure you are editing the correct area. Any changes made to the location will propagate to every online store for this location. Any changes made when editing the settings of an online store will impact only that online store.
