Network for two stores

   Hi Rob:

   Yes Checkout can be configured to be accessed across the internet, although it's not something we would generally recommend, as speeds will most likely be reduced from the slower connection going across the internet.

   If this is not a concern for you, then this can be configured. Please take a look at the information I copied out of our Checkout Manual (https://checkoutapp.com/documentation/17_logging_in):
   17.1.1 Remote access of a Checkout Store

   If you wish to remote access your Checkout store, you have several options. The first is to use a 3rd party screen sharing application to remotely access the Mac running a licensed copy of Checkout. Examples of this is the screen sharing built into iChat or the application TeamViewer. If you are remotely taking over a Mac, it does mean that no one else can use it at the same time.

   If the remote Mac is also running a licensed copy of Checkout, you do have the option to log into a store that is not on your local area network. When you select the magnifying glass on the Login window, you can select the Manual tab and enter an IP address or DNS Name, and the port number to be used. If you have properly setup an SSH Tunnel, you will be able to access a Checkout Store that is not on your local area network. This access is intended for light duty, such as running reports or checking inventory levels, but not for remote entry of sales. The response time of this remote login is greatly dependent on your internet access speed. For details on how to setup a tunneling protocol, please refer to an IT professional. Additional details on Tunneling Protocols can be found here.

   I hope this helps.

   Regards,
   Andy
