When you switch locations using the Location Selector in the top navigation bar, WIZniche POS automatically updates everything you see to reflect that specific location. This means your dashboard, inventory, reports, orders, and terminals all respond to which location is currently active.
Understanding this behaviour is especially important for businesses running multiple sites.
The Location Selector
The Location Selector sits in the top-right corner of every screen, next to the WIZniche logo. It shows the name of the currently active location (e.g. "Location 1"). Click it to see a dropdown of all your locations and switch between them instantly.
Dashboard
When you switch locations, the Home Dashboard updates to show data for the selected location only:
Key Metrics (Net Sales, Gross Sales, Transactions, Refunds, Paid) reflect only transactions from the active location.
The Sales Chart plots revenue for the active location across the selected date range.
Customer Metrics show customer activity associated with the active location.
Recent Orders and Recent Invoices panels display activity from the active location.
The Payment Types breakdown reflects payment method usage at the active location.
Inventory & Items
Stock levels and inventory are tracked per location. When you switch locations:
The Items section shows the item library for the active location, including that location's specific stock counts.
Inventory actions (Stock Received, Recount, Transfer, etc.) are applied to the selected location.
An item's stock level at Location 1 can be completely different from its stock at Location 2 — they are tracked independently.
Reports
All reports in WIZniche POS are location-aware. When a location is active:
Sales Reports — Sales Summary, Trends, Item Sales, Category Sales, and Team Sales all reflect the active location's data.
Payment Reports — Payment Methods, Fees, and Payouts are scoped to the active location.
Inventory Reports — COGS, Aging, Sell-Through, and Category reports show stock data for the active location.
Cash Drawer Reports — Sessions and cash entries are per location and per terminal.
Orders & Transactions
Orders and transactions are associated with the location they were created in. Switching locations updates the Orders and Transactions lists to show only records from the active location. This keeps each site's data clean and separate.
Terminals & Register
Terminals are assigned to a specific location. When you switch locations, the Register and Virtual POS will use the terminals connected to the active location. You cannot process in-person card payments on a terminal that belongs to a different location.
Best Practices for Multi-Location Accounts
Always confirm the active location in the top bar before processing a transaction or checking reports — especially if you manage multiple sites.
Use location-specific Nicknames that are clearly distinguishable (e.g. "WIZ – Main St" vs "WIZ – Airport") to avoid confusion on bank statements and in the selector.
Link a separate bank account to each location if you want site-level payout separation.
