Shopify POS Register ID
Shopify POS assigns a Register ID to each device running Shopify POS to track cash.
Store POS Entered By
Entered By is an Employee assigned automatically in BigBusiness to new transactions.
Store POS Presets let you assign Entered By by matching the Register ID for each sale. You can create an Employee called, Front Register, for example, and know it was used.
Sometimes a register belongs to just one person, like Joe's iPhone, or used by several. Please contact support@bigbusiness.com if you need changes or help sorting this out.

Shopify Source ID
Shopify Source ID helps identify the Web site or POS register that entered each order. If you have one web site, no problem, but you may have many POS registers or apps.
Each iPhone, iPad, or Android device you put Shopify POS on is tracked as a Register. If you accept Cash, Shopify POS will keep track how much you should have for each.
In turn, BigBusiness can use the Source ID to identify the Register and set any presets. For starters, you might want Entered By filled in on each Invoice for future reference.
