POS integrations for the tools you already use.

Why POS integrations matter for a small shop

Every time someone copies a customer from the POS into a mailing list, or types an appointment into a calendar by hand, something gets missed. Integrations remove that copying. SpotsPOS connects to the services small shops already pay for, and each one does one clear job.

You set them up in Settings, under Integrations. Each screen tells you what you need from the other service (usually an API key, a list ID or a merchant ID) and has a Setup Help guide that walks you through finding it.

Inventory: Shopify

If you also sell online with Shopify, turn on the Shopify integration with your Shopify store name, password and API key. A sync button then appears in your inventory section. Tap it to pull the latest items from your Shopify shop and update existing items or create new ones in SpotsPOS. You keep one product catalog instead of retyping it. Learn more about inventory management.

Payments: Square

Already using Square to take cards? With the Square integration on, you create the sale in SpotsPOS and send it to Square to take the payment, including on Square Terminals. Square needs the Square app installed and signed in on the same device. If you would rather keep payments inside SpotsPOS, payment processing is built in too.

Marketing: Mailchimp and Constant Contact

Both work the same way. Create an audience (a list) in Mailchimp or Constant Contact, copy the API key and the list ID into SpotsPOS, and turn it on. From then on, every new customer record is added to that list automatically. You build the campaigns in your email tool; SpotsPOS keeps the list growing.

Appointments: Google Calendar

With a Google API key in place, SpotsPOS creates a Google Calendar event for each new appointment created in the app. Your team sees drop-offs on the calendar they already check on their phone. See appointments for how booking works.

Text messages: Twilio

If you have your own Twilio account, add its phone number and SSID and SpotsPOS sends your shop's text messages through it. When a repair is marked ready for pickup, the customer can get a text along with the notification. You can also message a customer directly from the app. Customer notifications covers the messages you can send.

Device protection: AKKO

With your AKKO merchant ID entered, SpotsPOS shows the AKKO coverage option at checkout when the sale is eligible. Coverage added at the counter shows up on the customer's profile under AKKO Coverages.

Automation: Zapier, Make and webhooks

Webhooks are the way to connect SpotsPOS to anything else. A webhook sends data to another app the moment something happens, with no manual export. SpotsPOS has three:

• Repair webhook: sends the repair the moment it is created.
• Sale webhook: sends the sale the moment it is created.
• End of Day webhook: sends the end of day summary and its sales the moment the register is closed.

Paste a URL from Zapier, Make or your own server, and SpotsPOS posts the data there. You can add an optional secret so your server can check the request came from your shop, and the documentation link on the same screen describes what is sent. A shop might use the sale webhook to log every sale in a spreadsheet, or the end of day webhook to send the day's totals to the bookkeeper.
