Description
ParallelPOS Connector pairs your site with your ParallelPOS account in one step and does three jobs:
- Blog publishing — posts written in the ParallelPOS Marketing Hub are published to your WordPress blog automatically (as published posts, or as drafts for review — your choice).
- WooCommerce sync — your ParallelPOS product catalog and live stock levels flow into WooCommerce, and WooCommerce orders flow back into ParallelPOS as web orders. Products match by SKU, so re-syncs update instead of duplicating.
- Store & booking embeds — the
[parallelpos_store]and[parallelpos_booking]shortcodes drop your ParallelPOS ordering portal or booking page onto any WordPress page.
How pairing works
On activation the plugin mints a random Site key (Settings ParallelPOS). Paste your site address and that key into ParallelPOS under Marketing Channels WordPress. Every request from ParallelPOS carries the key and is verified with a constant-time comparison. The plugin never sends data out on its own — traffic flows one way, in, over HTTPS. Regenerating the key instantly revokes the old pairing.
Requirements
- A ParallelPOS account (parallelpos.com)
- WooCommerce is optional — needed only for the catalog/order sync
Installation
- Install and activate the plugin.
- Open Settings ParallelPOS and copy the Site key.
- In ParallelPOS, open Marketing Channels WordPress, paste your site address and the key, and press Connect.
- Optional: paste your ParallelPOS ordering-portal link into Store page URL and put
[parallelpos_store]on a page.
FAQ
-
Do I need WooCommerce?
-
Only for the catalog/stock/order sync. Blog publishing and the embeds work without it.
-
What data leaves my site?
-
None on the plugin’s initiative. ParallelPOS calls in (with your key) to publish posts, upsert products, and collect new orders. The plugin never makes outbound calls to ParallelPOS.
-
How do I disconnect?
-
Regenerate the Site key (Settings ParallelPOS) or deactivate the plugin. Either one stops all access immediately.
