It's not really that much different. You name the positive ion first, then name the polyatomic ion second.
Here is a quick review of naming a binary ionic compound.
Here is a video which discusses how to name ternary ionic compounds. Video from: Noel Pauller
Naming binary molecular compounds is an entirely different process.
Hope this helps!
