Once you have completed your Axial Shift site registration, it's time to get your data syncing! You'll need to download the Aloha Installer onto your Aloha Server directly. It's important to ensure you have administrator privileges to that computer, as it is required to run the installer.
Note: You might need to call NCR Aloha and instruct them to allow access for the following domains within your firewall settings: *.axialshift.com & *.axialcommerce.com
