OmniMart Pro includes a modular Add On System that allows you to expand your store's capabilities with powerful new features—safely and without risking your core store setup.
Why the Add On System Matters
As your eCommerce business grows, you may want to introduce specialized tools such as a retail Point of Sale register, advanced warehouse tools, or custom marketing extensions.
In traditional platforms, adding large new features requires modifying core store files. This often creates bugs, breaks existing store settings, and makes updating the platform difficult.
OmniMart Pro solves this with an isolated Add On Architecture:
- Risk-Free Expansion: Each add on operates as an independent module. Enabling, updating, or disabling an add on never disrupts your core online shopping cart or checkout process.
- Worry-Free Updates: Because add ons run in their own dedicated modules, you can update OmniMart Pro to newer versions without overwriting your installed add on features.
- Clean Store Management: Keep your store lean and fast by only enabling the add ons you actively use for your business.
Managing Add Ons from the Admin Dashboard
Store owners can manage all installed add ons directly from the administration panel without technical knowledge:
Capabilities:
- Add On Directory: Navigate to Admin Panel → Manage Addons (
/admin/addons) to see a complete list of installed add ons, their current version numbers, and descriptions. - One-Click Enable & Disable: Turn any add on on or off with a single toggle switch. The system automatically handles all background setup immediately.
- Sync Addons: When a new add on is added to your store files, simply click the Sync Addons button. OmniMart Pro will automatically detect the new extension and make it available in your dashboard.
- Seamless Menu Integration: When an add on is enabled (such as the Point of Sale system), its dedicated navigation menus, pages, and settings appear directly inside your admin sidebar.
Built-In Reference: The POS Add On
OmniMart Pro's Point of Sale (POS) register is built and delivered as the platform's first official add on:
- Independent Module: The POS system runs as a modular add on rather than being hard-coded into the core platform.
- Full Integration: While cleanly isolated behind the scenes, it shares the same products, stock levels, and order history as your online store.
- Flexible Deployment: If you only run an online business and do not need in-person counter checkout, you can simply turn off the POS add on to keep your admin menu streamlined.
- Future-Ready: The same framework makes it easy to introduce additional extensions, integrations, and tools as your retail business expands.
