Setting up an electronics store

Electronics and phones · checked 2026-10-24

This guide takes a electronics store from the first conversation to a live store. An iVendNext partner in your region usually runs these steps with you. A team with its own developers can run them itself. iVendNext gives the product, the apps and a guide at every step.

Check the fit

Put your own list of requirements against the apps in Electronics and phones on iVendNext. What the till and the apps meet unchanged is ready. The rest is set-up or an extension.

Set up the stores

Set up stores, tills, prices and users as you would for any retailer. Then connect your ERP: SAP Business One, SAP S/4HANA, Acumatica, NetSuite or Sage X3, or any other through your partner with the partner kit. For Acumatica and WooCommerce, see the Integration Core guide.

Turn on serials

Mark the items that carry a serial or an IMEI. Set up a store for defective and returned stock.

Install the apps

Install each app you chose from its card in the App library, with its own guide: Warranty terms, Unit codes at the scan, Bin locations and Click and collect.

Load your data

Load items and prices, the serials already in stock (pasted or from a file), each item's warranty term, and its alternatives and accessories.

Connect your web store

If you sell online, connect WooCommerce (see Connections) and set up Click and collect.

Train your staff and go live

Go live store by store: cashiers, floor staff with tablets or phones, and the stockroom with the handheld. The till pages are in iVendNext POS.

Day to day

Your partner supports what it delivers. iVendNext supports the product. The daily work at the till is in iVendNext POS, starting with Starting your day.
