Creating a Site

When creating a site, you can determine a guest user password that is necessary for the user if needed. The user can also be assigned a location for printer and payment terminals if required as well.

Actual site URLs are defined for the site, meaning that valid registered URLs are listed that will direct web users to the site. For example, you could have all of the following URLs redirected to the same site:
