Ellich Store activation, website publication, checkout readiness, and inbound order delivery are separate checks. A green connection badge does not prove that every product, payment method, or order connection is ready.
Activate the managed store
Finish Site Builder activation first. Open Ellich Store > Health. Ellich attempts managed setup after connection status loads; if the store is still unavailable, use Activate Ellich Store once and wait for the result.
When connected, confirm the store name, currency, and verification state. Store active means the commerce connection exists. It does not, by itself, prove public store visibility, customer accounts, secure checkout payment, or an end-to-end order.
Read integration health
In the Ellich Store checklist, load Ellich integration health and review:
- Product links: Ellich products linked to public store products.
- Order links: public orders linked to POS orders.
- Store connections: managed order, product, and customer update connections.
- Public Ellich URL: the callback address required for inbound updates.
A count only proves that records exist. Prove delivery with a controlled order and Order link lookup before launch.
Refresh store connections
Use Refresh store connections after the public Ellich address changes or when order, product, or customer updates stop returning to Ellich. This refreshes the managed inbound connections; it does not import an already missed order, publish products, or apply a payment method.
After refreshing, reload health and check the topics shown under Store connections. Then open Orders and use Import to POS only if an eligible order is still unlinked.
Reconnect only when health requires it
Use Re-connect Ellich Store when activation or stored credentials need repair. Do not repeatedly reconnect to solve a single missing order before checking order links and import eligibility. Reconnection and website publication are different operations.
If connection verification, version, or currency remains missing, follow the watchlist action. Record the visible error and affected health counts before escalation.
Verify separate launch gates
Before accepting live orders, confirm the /shop/, /cart/, and /checkout/ routes; store visibility; customer account readiness; product coverage; taxes and shipping; customer emails; and the active checkout payment. Apply payment to checkout prepares the matching checkout option, but any required secure payment account connection must also be completed. Finish with one paid, linked, routed test order.
