Create a device ID from Store Commerce

Features have been added to Store Commerce to allow you to create a device (that is, automatically generate a device ID) from Store Commerce so that the device can be associated with a register that doesn't yet have devices mapped to it. This functionality can only be used in Store Commerce if you configure settings in headquarters.

To configure headquarters settings that allow you to create a device ID in Store Commerce, follow these steps.

  1. Go to Retail and Commerce > Headquarters setup > Parameters > Commerce shared parameters > General.
  2. Under Devices, set Allow register association from device to Yes.
  3. In Store Commerce, you can now add a device when you select a register that is listed as No associated devices in the guided activation flow.
  4. After you select the register, you can either select a device that doesn't have register mapping, or select Or, Add a Device.
  5. For the latter option, select Or, Add a Device, and then either enter the new device ID or select Automatically create a new device ID for me.
  6. Select Activate to create a new device ID, associate it with the selected register, and complete the activation.
