MDware Cockpit button
If you already have the Cockpit button configured you can skip this as it serves for all our integrations.
In order to generate an invoice automatically during a sale, we will create a button in our sales interface. Follow the steps below to do this:
Go to "Settings". Then click on "Custom Menus" under the "Advanced Configuration" tab.
Click on the "Register: Sale Tab" menu item.
Under the heading "Add new button", enter the title of your new button. In the Title field you can enter "MDware (Invoicing/Loyalty)".
Select "Open Webpage" in the "Type" drop down menu.
Select the color "Blue".
We've created our first button after clicking the "+ Add button to menu" button.
We're not done yet, we need to adjust the button. At the bottom of the "Buttons" tab, you will see the new button appears in yellow. Click the pencil icon on the left to adjust the button.
Copy the Cockpit button link found under your Invoice Settings in the MDware Settings-page and paste it in the url-field.
