# POS Integration Overview
> Connect your point-of-sale system to storekit to sync menus, inject orders directly into the till, and keep stock aligned across online and in-venue channels.
Connecting your POS to storekit eliminates double-handling and keeps your systems in sync. Orders placed online flow directly to your existing kitchen workflow, and menu changes in your POS can automatically update your online menu.
## Why Connect a POS?
Without a POS integration, you're managing two separate systems:
* Manually entering online orders into your POS
* Updating menus in multiple places
* Reconciling sales across platforms
With a POS integration:
* **Orders inject directly** into your POS and kitchen printers
* **Menus stay synchronised** between systems
* **Inventory updates** reflect across platforms
* **Discounts and loyalty** from your POS apply to online orders
## Integration Types
Different POS systems integrate in different ways. Understanding these types helps you know what to expect.
### Push Integrations
The POS or menu platform automatically sends data to storekit whenever changes are made.
| Integration | How It Works |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| Deliverect | Publishes menu changes to storekit automatically |
| Stream | Pushes menu updates when published |
**Pros:** Fastest sync, no manual intervention needed\
**Cons:** Requires the source system to support push
#### Deliverect menu-sync-only mode
If you use Deliverect solely to manage and publish your menu — but send orders to a different POS — you can enable **menu-sync-only** mode on the Deliverect integration. When enabled:
* Menu changes published in Deliverect still sync to storekit automatically
* Orders are **not** dispatched to Deliverect; they go to your configured POS instead
* Deliverect channel status and busy-mode webhooks do not affect your venue's availability
This is useful when Deliverect acts as a menu management layer on top of another POS system. Contact [support](/getting-started/contact-support) to enable menu-sync-only mode for your venue.
### Pull Integrations
storekit fetches data from your POS on demand or on a schedule.
| Integration | How It Works |
| ------------------- | --------------------------------- |
| Zonal (Aztec) | Pulls menu on demand or scheduled |
| Lightspeed K-Series | Pulls menu on demand or scheduled |
| Syrve | Pulls menu on demand |
| PointOne | Pulls menu on demand |
**Pros:** Works with most enterprise POS systems\
**Cons:** Changes aren't instant; requires sync trigger
### Manual Linking
Products are created in storekit and linked to your POS using product IDs (PLUs).
| Integration | How It Works |
| ----------- | ------------------------------ |
| TISSL | Products linked via PLU codes |
| Comtrex | Products linked via product ID |
| Centegra | Products linked via product ID |
**Pros:** Full control over online menu design\
**Cons:** More setup work; manual updates needed
## Feature Comparison
Not all integrations support every feature. Here's what each offers:
| Integration | Menu Sync | Order Injection | Pay at Table |
| ------------------- | ----------- | --------------- | ------------ |
| Lightspeed K-Series | ✓ Automatic | ✓ | ✓ |
| PointOne | ✓ Automatic | ✓ | ✓ |
| Zonal | ✓ Automatic | ✓ | - |
| Centegra | Manual | ✓ | - |
| TISSL | Manual | ✓ | ✓ |
## How Orders Flow to Your POS
When a customer places an order on storekit:
```
Customer places order
↓
Payment processed
↓
Order sent to storekit backend
↓
Order injected to POS
↓
POS sends to kitchen printer/KDS
↓
Order confirmation returned
```
The entire flow typically takes 2-5 seconds. If the POS is temporarily unreachable, storekit queues the order and retries automatically.
Orders always complete for the customer even if POS injection is delayed. You'll see the order in your storekit dashboard and can manually enter it if needed.
If an order fails to sync to your POS, you'll receive an email notification with the error details and a direct link to the order. This ensures you never miss an order that needs manual attention, even if the customer has already paid online.
## Choosing the Right Approach
### Use Push Integration If:
* You already use Deliverect or Stream for aggregator management
* You want fully automated menu sync
* Your menu changes frequently
### Use Pull Integration If:
* You have an enterprise POS (Zonal, Lightspeed)
* You want scheduled sync at specific times
* You need tight inventory integration
### Use Manual Linking If:
* Your POS doesn't support API-based menu sync
* You want complete control over online menu presentation
* You have a simple, stable menu

## Need a Different POS?
We're always evaluating new integrations. If your POS isn't listed:
1. Check if your POS works with Deliverect or Stream (middleware options)
2. [Submit a feature request](https://dashboard.storekit.com/feature-requests) with your POS details
3. Use our [Webhooks](/developers/webhooks/overview) to build a custom integration
When requesting a new integration, include your POS name, version, and how many venues would use it. High-demand integrations get prioritised.
