Third-Party POS Integration Settings

When you make changes to your POS settings, the changes will need to be reflected in Otter as well to avoid order injection issues. The changes made in your POS can be updated in Otter within the POS Settings of the Otter Dashboard.

Available POS settings in the Otter Dashboard

  • View all the POS integration parameters set up for each of the stores.
  • Update the POS channel settings under its control for each store. 
    • These are parameters pulled directly from the POS, per integration, based on what you have configured on your POS account.
  • Turn on/off the POS injection per channel.

Examples of those settings are payment ID, dining ID, pickup ID, etc.
