Every STS account must be associated with a valid STS license to be activated. These licenses are paid and managed directly in the "Contracts" > "License Contracts" tab. Always check license availability before creating a new user account.

  • Final clients: Your distributor is responsible for assigning you a license.

  • You can then assign it to another user.

Check the box for the STM users you want to enable Click & Collect for.
To revoke access, simply uncheck the box.

1️⃣2️⃣ I’m a distributor handling refills, but my client uses automatic FTP for STM users. Could my STM user be deleted?
Yes — if your client uses FTP to manage STM users, your STM user may be removed.

✅ Solution:
Duplicate your STS user as an STM user within your client’s company.
⚠️ FTP will not delete STM users who also have the “Supervisor” role.

Yes. You can apply a quota restriction to control how many consumables a user can withdraw.
To create such a restriction, see the procedure: User rights & restrictions


1️⃣4️⃣ Can I apply reference tracking to a consumable item?
No. Currently, reference tracking is only available for non-consumable items.
For more on tracking options, see the procedure: Reference tracking


1️⃣5️⃣ I don’t see the trash icon to delete an STM user. What can I do?
Check your user role:

  • If you're logged in as an STS user with the role of "Editor" or "Viewer", you won’t be able to delete STM users.

  • Only the "Owner" role has deletion rights.

👉 Tip: You can still deactivate the user (they will no longer have access, but won’t be deleted).
