What a good integration does. It sends daily sales, taxes, tips, discounts, and payment types to your accounting system, mapped to the right accounts.

What to look for:

• Detail level: category-level sales, not just a daily total.

• Multi-location support: each store mapped to its own class or location.

• Tips and tax handling: these should not inflate revenue.

• Reconciliation tools: easy comparison between POS reports and bank deposits.

• Clear error alerts: so a failed sync does not go unnoticed.

Common mistakes:

• Skipping account mapping at setup.

• Ignoring gift cards, comps, and voids.

• Not checking synced data against actual deposits.

Test before you trust. Run the integration for a few weeks and compare totals to your POS and bank. A clean connection saves time and gives you reliable numbers for reporting.
