POS integration
POS integration is a technical connection between a point-of-sale system and another application. The connection exchanges defined data or actions between them.

What it means for your shop
What matters is which information actually flows through the connection. Does the other system recognise a completed sale, receive individual basket items or send a redemption back to the till? These are different capabilities. So when a provider talks about “integration”, ask which workflow and which POS system it supports.
Check the direction of data exchange too. A connection that only receives sales data leaves the receipt unchanged. Clarify how cancellations and connection interruptions are handled. In everyday work, your team needs to know which steps remain manual and how to recognise a successful transfer.
How to recognise it
A team member takes payment and then scans a customer card using a separate phone app. Both steps belong to the same purchase, but the two systems are not technically connected. A POS integration exists when the systems exchange defined data. An app you use alongside your till simply runs independently of it.
At Treubar
Treubar works without a till connection. The customer presents their wallet pass and your team scans it in the Treubar app; no POS system is required for this step. The stamping guide explains this independent process, and redeeming a reward is a separate workflow. Baskets, payments and discounts stay in your till; Treubar does not transfer them.
