According to Google: «This year 46% of retail sales will be influenced by the web, but 90% of all retail sales will be effected in shops - from local retailers to the big chains».
The Point of Sale extension will increase awareness of all your retail outlets by allowing you to highlight them on a customized Google Map which is then placed on any page of your Magento site.
This map uses HTML5 code which helps the customer by providing, on the same webpage, their current position, and a route map to their nearest retail outlet.
Specific information relative to each retail outlet is easily customizable from the Magento back-office, eg. opening times, postal and website addresses.
First of all, you need to create your points of sale. For this, go to:
Sales › POS / WAREHOUSES › Manage POS / Warehouses
With Point of Sale, you can manage as many warehouses or points of sale as you want in the backend of Magento.
To configure your points of sale, click on Add one POS / Warehouse.
Each POS must have at least a name, a code, an order of display, a latitude, and longitude. Other information is additional, however, we recommend you to fill in a maximum of fields.
You will also be able to reuse these fields in the Google map display.
All the details specified in Address & Hours appear in the information section when a customer selects a particular point of sale. You must fill in:
yyyy-mm-dd
yyyy-mm-dd HH:ii-HH:ii
2019-02-25 14:00-15:00
2019-02-25 18:30-19:30
A point of sale can be linked to one or more Magento store views. Only those points of sale linked to a store view are then displayed for customers in Google Maps.
You must then select in the Customer Group Selection tab, the customer group(s) that will be able to see the point of sale.
To import a CSV file, click on Import a CSV file. You can then browse and upload your file in Magento. (Your file must be a CSV file).
Once you have chosen your file, click on Import file.
You can click on Back to see the points of sale that have been added or go to:
Sales › POS / Warehouses › Manage POS / Warehouses
To export a CSV file, it is quite easy, you need to click on Export a CSV file, and you will be able to download a CSV file that includes all information about the points of sale you've just created or imported.
You can delete and change the Store locator for several stores at a time. For this, select the stores you want to edit/delete and from the Actions dropdown select:
In order to edit the display of your points of sale in the Google map, go to:
System › Configuration › Wyomind › POS / Warehouses
You'll also be able to edit the store description template as well as the time format.
There you will be able to add your API key in the Google API key field.
Indeed, Google is now asking for an API key to display the Google map. If you don't have an API key yet, check our faq to know how to get your own key.
Also, you'll be able to change the position of the information and add some PHP code.
For example, let's say you want to display the phone number in red. You'll just need to add:
<span> {{phone}} </span>To see your points of sale in the map, go to http://www.yourwebsite.com/pointofsales.
You can also edit the time format. For example, to write 2:30 AM, use:
h:i A
For more details, you can refer to the below table:
Add the Point of Sale map to any CMS page saved in the Magento back-office. Go to:
CMS › Pages
Add the following code in the Layout Update XML field in the Design tab of the CMS page concerned:
<action method="addItem">
<type>skin_css</type>
<name>pointofsale/css/pointofsale.css</name>
</action>
<reference name="head">
<action method="addItem">
<type>skin_css</type>
<name>pointofsale/css/pointofsale.css</name>
</action>
<action method="addItem">
<type>skin_js</type>
<name>pointofsale/js/pointofsale.js</name>
</action>
</reference>
<reference name="content">
<block type="pointofsale/pointofsale" name="pointofsale"
template="pointofsale/pointofsale.phtml">
</block>
</reference>
Click on Save page.
Now your Point of Sale map must be displayed on the CMS page you have chosen. By default, it is displayed on the bottom of the page.
In order to display the map at the top of the page, you just need to add before='-' in the block item in the "layout update XML" field of the Design tab of the CMS page :
<action method="addItem">
<type>skin_css</type>
<name>pointofsale/css/pointofsale.css</name>
</action>
<reference name="head">
<action method="addItem">
<type>skin_css</type>
<name>pointofsale/css/pointofsale.css</name>
</action>
<action method="addItem">
<type>skin_js</type>
<name>pointofsale/js/pointofsale.js</name>
</action>
</reference>
<reference name="content">
<block type="pointofsale/pointofsale" name="pointofsale" template="pointofsale/pointofsale.phtml" before='-'>
</block>
</reference>By default the map is displayed at the bottom of the page.
The template which allows the Point of Sale map to display is easy to modify with basic PHP and HTML skills.
This extension works with Magento Community Edition and also Magento Enterprise Edition. To know if Point Of Sale is compatible with your Magento version, please check the Compatibility tab.
There are some limitations with the Google Shopping API that allows to calculate the directions for the 24 closest locations only. Hovewer, all the points of sale will be displayed anyway.
We offer our customers who want to migrate their Magento 1 license to a Magento 2 license, the transfer at a reduced price.
You have the possibility to migrate your license directly from your Wyomind account in:
My account › Licenses & Downloads
Click on migrate to magento 2 in front of the extension and the domain you want to transfer.
Confirm you want to migrate your license to a Magento 2 license by clicking on Confirm and checkout .
An invoice will be automatically added to your account from:
My account › Invoices
The price of the transfer is equivalent to a 30% reduction compared to the price of the regular Magento 2 license.
You can proceed to the payment by clicking on PP .
Once the payment is done, you can go back to:
My account › Licenses & Downloads
There you will be able to download and install your license for Magento 2.
A license is valid for an unlimited period of time on one single Magento installation.
If you use more than one Magento installation, you will have to buy a separate license for each one.
If you run several domains on the same Magento installation, you will need only one license for all of them.
Although your license doesn’t have a limited period of validity, your support period does. By purchasing an extension, you’ll be granted a 6-month support period for free. Passed this period, you will have to renew your Support plan (see FAQ: How to extend my support period?).You can pre-register your live domain to your license in advance.
Thanks to this option, you'll be able to get the extension ready to use on your domain before it goes live.
To pre-register your production domain:
next to the extension you want your domain to pre-register on.
One license is valid for an unlimited period of time on one Magento installation only.
It is possible, however, to extend or transfer your license in 2 cases:
To be able to use Point Of Sale on both your production and testing environments, follow the instructions below:
Now that you can use Point Of Sale on your production environment, repeat the same steps as above on your testing environments.
The only difference this time: a notification will appear in your Magento admin.
You will be given a choice between:
Click on Add this domain to my license.
A transfer request will then be sent to our team within an hour.
Once the request is taken care of, you will receive a confirmation email.
If your transfer request is accepted, you can use Point Of Sale on both environments at the same time.
The order in which you activate your license on your domains does not matter.In order to download Point Of Sale, log into your Wyomind account:
icon next to Point Of Sale.
A new window opens.
Your download can start.
When purchasing an extension from wyomind.com, you benefit from a lifetime upgrade. You can at any time download the latest version of the extension directly from your account.
To upgrade Point Of Sale, follow the steps below:
next to Point Of Sale.
To uninstall Point Of Sale, go on its zip folder and open it.
You will find a shell file (such as: yourextension-uninstall.sh) that you must execute on both your server and Magento root directory.
Once the uninstallation is over, refresh your cache and enable the compiler back again (if you use it).
Before installing Point Of Sale, you’ll have to:
Now you can install Point Of Sale:
Next step is to activate your license, to do so, click here: Extension activation
Once Point Of Sale is installed, you have to activate the license:
configuration › advanced › advancedIf the message doesn't appear then you must check that:
Wyomind's License Manager has not been removed from your installation.
Wyomind's License Manager is enabled in: app/etc/modules/Wyomind_Licensemanager.xml
The HTML output for Wyomind_Licensemanager and/or Adminhtml_Notification are not disabled in your system under: system
To activate the license of an extension that includes other modules, you’ll have to repeat the steps described above for each extension, using the corresponding activation keys (each module has its own activation key).
In order to use Point Of Sale, you need to have a Google API key filled in the extension's settings.
To create an API key:
- Maps JavaScript API
- Geocoding API
- Distance Matrix API
- Directions API
For example, you want to translate some expressions for the French store view.
Go to your Magento root directory. Copy the Wyomind_pointofsale.csv file under app/locale/en_US to app/locale/fr_FR (or to the language you want).
In that file, you can add some entries and translations. For example:
Here is below an example of a translation csv file.
You could also use the "Translate Inline" tool available in the magento system in:
System › Configuration › Advanced › Developer › Translate Inline
With the Point Of Sale extension, you have the choice between two statuses while creating your stores:
In order to configure your Magento shop, you need to understand what's the difference between both statuses.
A warehouse won't be visible at all by the customers from the front-office.
A point of sale will be visible on the Google map in the front-office. In the case where you're using Advanced Inventory , customers will be able to check if products are in stock in these points of sale directly from the front-office, and if you're using Pickup@Store, they will have the possibility to come and pickup their orders in these points of sale.
If you're using another template package than "default" (eg: "rwd" for Magento 1.9), simply copy the files and folders you'll find in:
app/design/frontend/default/default/
into:
app/design/frontend/your_package/default/
The template which allows the Point of Sale map to display is easy to modify with basic PHP and HTML skills.
The Point of Sale template is found, by default, in:
app/design/frontend/default/default/template/pointofsale/pointofsale.phtml
All the CSS styles and associated images required to display the Point of Sale map are in:
skin/frontend/default/default/pointofsale/
To translate the wording on the Point of Sale map either use the on-line Magento translation tool or, copy and translate the translation files available in:
app/locale/en_US/Wyomind_pointofsale.csv
You need to go to:
System › Configuration › Wyomind › Point of Sale
There you will be able to define your own time format with the help of the table displayed below.
At line 39 of the below file:
app/design/frontend/default/default/template/pointofsale/pointofsale.pthml
Change the values for height and weight into:
<?php echo Mage::helper('pointofsale')->getImage($place->getImage(), 150, 150, true, "float:right"); ?><br>
You can easily replace km with miles by editing the following file:
\skin\frontend\base\default\pointofsale\js\pointofsale.js
In line 178, replace:
unitSystem: google.maps.UnitSystem.METRIC
with:
unitSystem: google.maps.UnitSystem.IMPERIAL
If your site crashes and gives this error message after uploading all files to the correct folders:
Fatal error: Class 'Wyomind_Notificationmanager_Model_Resource_Setup' not found in includes/src/Mage_Core_Model_Resource_Setup.php on line 234It probably comes from installing an extension while the compiler is still enabled.
Important note:
Here is how to disable the Magento compiler:
define('COMPILER_INCLUDE_PATH', dirname(__FILE__).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'src');define('COMPILER_COLLECT_PATH', dirname(__FILE__).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'stat');to get:
#define('COMPILER_INCLUDE_PATH', dirname(__FILE__).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'src');#define('COMPILER_COLLECT_PATH', dirname(__FILE__).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'stat');If you're getting a white page using the extension, you should enable the error reporting in order to display the error. You can do that from index.php.
This issue may be due to a problem during the installation process.
You can fix it by following these steps:
Be careful, that entry depends on your extension. For example, if you have the extension called Simple Google Shopping, you should delete simplegoogleshopping_setup.
As of June 2016 some changes have been made to the Google Maps APIs Standard Plan. Among these changes, Google no longer support requests that don't include an API key as they allow Google to contact developers when required and help them identify misbehaving implementations.
If you're getting an error "NoApiKeys" in your console, it means the script element that loads the API has no API key. You need to make sure you include a valid API key as a key parameter. You can generate a new API key on the Google Developers Console (see how to get an API key).
Once you have an API key, you can fill in the Google API key field with it, in:
System › Configuration › Wyomind › POS/Warehouse
This feature is available from Pickup@Store.2.3.0 and Point Of Sale 5.5.0.

This Magento extension is really functional easy to use and good looking. You can add and customize easily your point of sales and geolocalize they on a map. You can also add custom attribute to the point of sales in order to enrich the descriptions.

Easy to install and setup, fast and efficient support. The process was straightforward: install the extension, configure it, capture all our POSs info and then launch it. We use point of sale to manage and show our physical location of shops and with the help of it we could be able to receive a continuous stream of customers from our website to our stores. Considering feature point of view, it would have been better if nearest store could have been fetched based on the current location automatically in the POS dropdown instead of Google Map in checkout. This extension is great to use and support service is EXCELLENT. They answered immediately all our doubts,

Installation facile et rapide. Révision accessible des feuilles de styles pour adapter à notre charte. Le support est rapide et efficace. Nous avons demandé la prise en charge des accents utf8 et avons reçu la mise à jour le jour même. bravo et merci !

A nice simple extension to add the stockists of our jewellery to our brand's website. Customers can go to the stockist finder page and then extension will find their location from their device and then show them the nearest outlet to buy our products. Easy to configure and it is possible to enter plenty of details about each individual stockist such as opening hours, shop logo, email address etc.
Ivonne
The process was straightforward: install the extension, configure it, capture all our POSs info and then launch it. The only changes we need to make were to adapt the PHTML template files and embed them in a popup, it couldn't be easier. :)
Axel
Nice design, responsive, easy to install and setup and like always, fast and efficient support. You can customize fields with CSS I would have liked to find functions like: - coordinates engine search (like in Google Maps for Wordpress) - easier set up of business hours of points of sale (even if CSV import is available). Manual entry is not possible. You must enter time with a [select] field and check a box to enable the display of the time for the selected day. - 1 or 2 more fields for additional information about the point of sale. To bad! the [description] field doesn't accept CSS For all this, I would have accepted to pay more.

Nice extension that does exactly what it says it does. Straightforward to understand and use. Support from developer is fast and helpful.

AAA+ company. I was not able to put it in my webshop myself. Very helpfull company!!! They also helped me with the Simple Google Shopping, what you can not miss if you having a Magento shop.
susawx
This was the perfect solution for our site: an extension to show the google map of each store, and with a plus: the support service is EXCELLENT. They answered immediately all our doubts, and solved some issues of installation and performance due to our particular configuration, another plugin that used the same html ID for the google map area, and did it directly in our site, via FTP and database access. Great extension and great people to work with!! We are very pleased with their work.
