FAQ

A WordPress site with WooCommerce installed and configured — that’s it. Your WooCommerce products, prices, inventory, customers, tax rates and currency are the single source of truth for Oliver POS, so set those up in WooCommerce before pairing your first device.

For hardware, any modern browser will run the Oliver POS web register. We recommend Chrome on Mac, PC or Android, and Safari on iPad. Receipt printing uses the device’s default printer.

Since 4.8.0 the plugin writes an .htaccess guard into wp-content/uploads/oliver-pos/sync/ that returns 403 Forbidden for catalog.json.gz / delta.json requests that don’t carry your store’s pairing sync token (?token=…), while still serving the files statically — no PHP per request. On Apache and LiteSpeed this is automatic.

Nginx ignores .htaccess files, so add the equivalent rule to your server block (replace YOUR_SYNC_TOKEN with the token shown under Oliver POS Settings Sync):

location ~* /wp-content/uploads/oliver-pos/sync/.*\.json(\.gz)?$ {     if ($arg_token != "YOUR_SYNC_TOKEN") { return 403; } }

Without the rule, behaviour on nginx simply stays as it was before 4.8.0 (files readable at an unguessable-by-policy but well-known path). Rotating the token in settings rewrites the Apache guard automatically; on nginx remember to update your server block too.
