Purpose
This article explains how to place international orders, both in the European Union and the United Kingdom, by using the 365 Ordering Portal. These processes are similar but they have key differences. Always make sure you are using the right portal for your region.
- If ordering 365 devices for use in the European Union, please navigate to the 365 EU Ordering Portal.
- If ordering 365 devices for use in the United Kingdom, please navigate to the 365 UK Ordering Portal.
Process
Initial Steps: Request Type, PO, and 365 Rep
- In the portal, select New Customer Request or Hardware Request, depending on your needs.
- Attach your PO to the portal. This is a required step. You may drag the file into the drop box at the top of the hardware request screen, or select the Browse button to upload it to the form. You then must then enter the PO number on the form itself, as this will assist with tracking your request.
- Select your 365 representative from the drop-down menu. If you don’t know your representative, reach out to 365international@365smartshop.com and your representative will get in touch with you.
Products, Org, and Location Information
- Select the type of product(s) you are ordering. Groups of products that are within the same room are considered to be part of the same Location. We process orders by location: if you will have multiple devices within the same room, they can all be in the same order. Once they arrive, they will automatically have the same Location name and will be managed together in ADM, our back-end management program.
- If you are ordering devices for multiple Locations, you will need to place separate orders for each Location.
- If you are ordering devices for multiple Locations, you will need to place separate orders for each Location.
- A group of Locations in ADM is referred to as an Organization or ORG. If you have worked with us before and already have an ORG in ADM, select Yes and provide the ORG name as it reads in your ADM Portal.
- If you are a new customer and your company has never accessed ADM, select No. This informs the 365 Team to create an ORG for your company.
- If you are a new customer and your company has never accessed ADM, select No. This informs the 365 Team to create an ORG for your company.
EU Form Only - Fiskaly (German and Austrian Markets)
If you are not using the EU form, or if your market is not German or Austrian, please skip ahead to the Continued Steps for EU and UK below.
Fiskaly is for German and Austrian markets only. This integration allows for compliance with local tax authorities regarding receipts and reporting. Fiskaly is automatically applied to German and Austrian devices unless ‘no’ is selected on the order.
Once you have selected the correct option for your needs, continue with the steps below.

Linking Instructions
Answer the following questions and consider the points to understand your linking needs. If you have questions, reach out to your 365 Representative.
Stand Alone
- Are you ordering only one device, and will that be the only device located in your market?
- This one device will not allow users to apply any pre-loaded account at any other device outside of this one single location. However, they will still be able to use other devices when paying by card
- Since this will be the only device located within the market, it will not share inventory with any other devices
Same Store
- Are you ordering more than 1 device?
- Are the devices on your order sharing a location name in your ADM ORG?
- Are the devices on your order sharing a room/general space at your market location?
- These devices will share all data between them.
- They will be listed under the same location in ADM
- They will share inventory
- Example: your user will be able to take a snack bar off of the shelf and scan it at any device, registering the inventory as sold on all devices registered under the same store linking.
- They will share users
- They will share reports
- Example: You are ordering 2 kiosks and a beacon for your J.P. Morgan 4th Floor location since the traffic is very high at lunchtime and you need the second kiosk and mobile-checkout option to reduce long wait times for users that only have a short amount of time to get their items and return to work.
- Will this be linked to an existing location?
- Select no if only the devices on your order will need to be Same Store
- Select yes if you are ordering an additional device for an existing location
- You will need to enter the serial number of the existing device. You can find the serial number located under the location in ADM.
Connected Campus
- Are the device(s) on your order needing to share users with other devices, but not inventory?
- Are you adding a second market to an existing customer location?
- Example: You are ordering 1 PicoCooler for your J.P. Morgan 6th floor location since it easily fits in the small space you were provided by the customer. You don’t want the Pico device to share inventory with the 4th floor location, but you do want the users of the 4th floor market to be able to use their pre-funded accounts at the 6th floor cooler.
- 2nd Example: Your J.P. Morgan 4th and 6th floor markets are a hit, and the customer wants you to put a new market in another at of their office buildings downtown. A lot of the users at the 4th and 6th floor markets work at the downtown location during the week. In order for the users to access their accounts at this new location, you would want to be sure to select Connected Campus for this new location.
- Serial Number and Location Name: If you are linking the device to an existing location, provide the serial number and location name of the device you want it linked to. If you do not have the serial number, you can provide only the location name. Please be sure to use the location name as it reads in ADM
Same Store & Connected Campus
- Are you putting in a new market with multiple devices that also needs to share users with a different, existing market?
- Example: You ordered your PicoCooler for the J.P. Morgan 6th floor first to see if the solution is a good fit for the customer. They loved it so much they wanted a bigger market on their 4th floor to replace their old canteen solution. You are placing the order for the 2 kiosks and a beacon for the 4th floor. You need them to share inventory, but you also need them to share users with the 6th floor cooler.
- Will this be linked to an existing location?
- Select no if only the devices on your order will need to be Same Store
- Select yes if you are ordering an additional device for an existing location
- Serial Number and Location Name: If you are linking the device to an existing location, provide the serial number and location name of the device you want it linked to. If you do not have the serial number, you can provide only the location name. Please be sure to use the location name as it reads in ADM
