### ⚙️ How it works in Shopify POS

In Shopify POS, staff will:

1. Choose a service from Tipo
2. Select service options (variant) and employee (if enabled)
3. Pick date & time
4. Confirm details
5. Tap **Add to cart**

This creates an appointment linked to the POS checkout flow.

### ✅ Best practices for in-store booking

* Use POS integration for walk-ins and in-store scheduling
* Confirm the **team member** is correct before adding to cart
* Double-check the **date & time** at the confirmation step

### 🛠️ Troubleshooting

#### Tipo Appointment doesn’t show in Shopify POS

* Confirm Shopify POS integration is Activated in Tipo settings
* Make sure you’re logged into the correct Shopify store in POS
* Restart the device and test again

#### No available time slots

* Check your service availability settings in Tipo (working hours, capacity, blocked dates)
* Confirm the selected team member has availability (if team member scheduling is enabled)
