SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Connects physical point-of-sale systems with online stores to prevent oversells, centralize order and customer records, and enable omnichannel returns and reporting across locations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Real-time inventory sync: webhook-driven updates from Square (or other POS) to update per-location inventory and online availability with safety-stock buffering.
  • Catalog synchronization: batch upsert of products and variations to Square, idempotent operations, and persistence of Square-assigned IDs mapped back to internal SKUs.
  • Omnichannel returns & refunds: route refunds to the original gateway (Stripe or Square), validate returnable quantities, and restock only on physical receipt at the correct location.
  • Platform support: guidance and examples for Shopify POS, WooCommerce + Square, BigCommerce, and custom/headless integrations.
  • Operational tooling: monitoring sync lag, rebuild/mapping of catalog IDs, and manual reconciliation UI recommendations.

Quick Start

Connect your Square account, run the syncProductToSquare function for a product to push it to Square and store the returned Square IDs, and deploy the webhook handler at /api/webhooks/square to start real-time inventory updates.

Frequently Asked Questions about pos-integration

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I sync Square POS inventory with my online store in real time?

Real time inventory sync connects physical POS systems to online stores using webhook-driven updates. It updates per-location inventory and online availability with safety-stock buffering to prevent oversells across platforms like Shopify and WooCommerce.

Can I process omnichannel returns and route refunds through Square or Stripe?

Omnichannel returns are processed by validating returnable quantities and routing refunds to the original gateway, such as Stripe or Square. The system restocks items only upon physical receipt at the correct location to maintain accurate inventory levels.

What is the best way to batch upsert products and variations to Square?

Batch upserting products to Square uses catalogApi.batchUpsertCatalogObjects with idempotency keys. This method persists Square-assigned IDs mapped back to internal SKUs, ensuring reliable catalog synchronization across physical and online sales channels.

Does this POS integration support headless commerce and BigCommerce platforms?

The POS integration supports Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, and custom headless platforms. It provides connection guidance and examples for unifying physical point-of-sale systems with various online store architectures.

How do I verify Square webhook HMAC signatures for POS integrations?

Square webhook HMAC verification validates the notification signature over the full notification URL and raw body. This security measure ensures that webhook-driven inventory and catalog updates originate from authenticated Square POS events.

Why do I need safety-stock logic when syncing POS inventory to online stores?

Safety-stock logic prevents oversells by buffering inventory levels during real time sync. It adjusts per-location inventory availability before pushing updates to online stores, ensuring physical and digital stock levels remain accurate.
