Multiple stores can be created and associated with a single Awayco account. This article will introduce you to the functionality of each of the apps for multiple stores:

• The Web Store
• The Admin App
• The Point-of-Sale App

Web Store

The total inventory of all your stores will appear together on your web store. Customers have the option to filter by location, or click on a store to view the available products.

Admin App

Each store location will user the Admin app. Multiple stores use the same URL to access the Admin app, in the format of storename.admin.app.awayco.com. The Admin app is restricted to a single login, however PoS app logins can be used to access a limited version of the Admin app
