Setting up your Pickscan install on WooCommerce

Using the wizard after install

When you open the Pickscan menu in WordPress admin for the first time, a setup wizard walks you through connecting your store and pairing your first scanning device. A progress bar at the top shows which step you're on.

Step 1: Welcome

The welcome screen introduces Pickscan and confirms the WordPress plugin has installed correctly. Click Get Started to continue.

Step 2: Generate API keys

Pickscan needs WooCommerce REST API keys to read orders and update fulfilment status.

• Click Generate Keys to have Pickscan create a read/write API key pair for you automatically.
• Alternatively, paste in an existing Consumer Key and Consumer Secret from WooCommerce → Settings → Advanced → REST API.

The generated keys are scoped to the Pickscan plugin only — you can revoke them at any time from WooCommerce's REST API settings.

Step 3: Connect your store

Pickscan sends your store URL, store name, and API keys to the Smartcode backend to register your account. This step usually takes a few seconds. When it completes, you'll see your store name echoed back as confirmation.

Step 4: Pair your first device

Pickscan generates a short device code for you to enter on the Android app.

1. Install the Pickscan Android app on your device. See Installing the Pickscan Android app.
2. Open the app and enter the code shown in the wizard.
3. Once paired, the device name appears in the WordPress admin.

Click Finish to close the wizard and land on the main Pickscan dashboard.

Tip for first-time users

Feature spotlight cards on the dashboard link back to any setup steps you skipped — for example, adding your first mobile-app user. Work through them in any order.
