Use Ellich as the source of truth for restaurant products and operating hours, then verify what the connected public store actually received. Saving one area does not automatically prove the others updated.
Update eligible products
Open Ellich Store > Products and choose Update products. An Ellich product is publishable only when it is active, has a name, has a base price greater than zero, has Online marketplace enabled, and is not sold out.
The update creates or refreshes linked public products and their linked categories. A previously linked product that becomes archived, inactive, opted out, sold out, or unpriced is changed to storefront draft. Review the pushed, unpublished, skipped, and error counts; a partial result is not a complete catalog update.
Direct public-store product tools can create store records, but that does not establish an Ellich product link. For POS, inventory, reporting, and future updates, prefer the linked Ellich product path.
Verify the customer pages
Open the live routes in a clean browser:
/shop/for public products and categories./cart/for cart review./checkout/for payment, tax, shipping, and customer details./my-account/for registered customer access and order history./wishlist/only after the wishlist feature reports ready.
Confirm names, images, prices, variants, stock state, category placement, required choices, and totals. A successful product update does not prove checkout is usable.
Set online ordering hours
Open the business profile and find Online ordering hours. Select Same hours as store or uncheck it and define separate takeout/web windows in the store timezone. Save the business profile.
The profile can save even when live-store hours sync fails. Confirm the success message Online ordering hours were synced to the connected live store. If the connected site or compatible storefront module is unavailable, repair that connection and save again. Do not assume the storefront stopped accepting orders merely because the Ellich schedule changed.
Prepare checkout payment
In Site Builder, review Checkout payment method. Confirm the active Ellich payment method and environment, then select Apply payment to checkout. This maps or prepares the matching checkout option.
If Secure account connection still needs completion, live checkout is not ready. Also verify store visibility, customer accounts, taxes, shipping coverage, coupons, and customer email settings. Finish with a controlled order; configuration status alone is not payment evidence.
Troubleshoot a mismatch
Compare the Ellich product, product update result, live product, cart, and checkout in that order. For missing updates, check Health for product links and Connections for product update topics. Do not edit only the public copy to hide a broken Ellich link because the next update may replace it.
