Video tutorials
Short walkthroughs of the ZKONG cloud platform — from creating your first store to templates, automated imports and monitoring. All videos are in English. Questions? Contact us — onboarding is part of every deployment.
Create a store
Set up a new store in the ZKONG cloud platform: name, basic settings, and where it fits in your merchant account. The first step of every deployment.
Add base stations to a store
Connect one or several ZAP base stations (APs) to a store so your labels have coverage — including checking that they come online.
Template editor
Design what your shelf labels display: layouts, price fields, promotion styles and how to assign templates to products.
Import products with ZKONG Middleware
Bring product data in automatically from CSV or Excel exports using the free ZKONG Middleware — field mapping, scheduled tasks and watched folders.
Alarm and Log centre
Monitor your ESL system: alerts for offline devices or failed updates, and the logs that show what happened and when.
API introduction
An overview of the ZKONG API for developers: how external systems (ERP, POS, custom software) push prices and product data to the platform.
