# Connecting Your POS

> Sync inventory and product data from your point-of-sale system.

Closient integrates with popular point-of-sale systems to automatically sync your product catalog, inventory levels, and pricing. Connected POS data powers local search results and keeps your product information current.

## Supported Systems

| POS System     | Data Synced                                      |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| **Shopify**    | Products, inventory, pricing, images, variants   |
| **Square**     | Catalog items, inventory counts, pricing, images |
| **Clover**     | Items, inventory, pricing, categories            |
| **Lightspeed** | Products, inventory, pricing, categories, images |

## Connecting a POS

<Steps>
  <Step title="Navigate to Integrations">
    Go to **Settings > Integrations** in your Dashboard.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select your POS">
    Click the card for your POS system and follow the OAuth authorization flow. You'll be redirected to your POS provider to grant access.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Map your locations">
    After authorization, map your POS locations to Closient locations. This ensures inventory data appears at the right physical store in search results.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Initial sync">
    Closient runs an initial full sync of your catalog. Depending on catalog size, this may take a few minutes.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What Gets Synced

### Products

* Product name, description, images
* GTINs/barcodes (matched to Closient's product catalog)
* Pricing and variants
* Categories

### Inventory

* Stock levels per location
* Inventory confidence is derived from sync recency:
  * **Confirmed** — synced within the last hour
  * **Likely** — synced within the last 24 hours
  * **Uncertain** — synced more than 24 hours ago
  * **Unknown** — no inventory data available

### Sync Frequency

POS data syncs automatically via webhooks (real-time for supported events) and periodic full syncs (daily). You can trigger a manual sync from the integration settings page.

## GTIN Matching

When POS products have barcodes, Closient automatically matches them to the global product catalog by GTIN. Products without barcodes are imported as retailer-specific items and can be manually matched later.

## Managing Offers

Synced products appear as **Offers** — your store's specific pricing, inventory, and availability for a product. An offer connects:

* A **Product** (global GTIN-based record)
* A **Location** (your physical store)
* Your **pricing**, **inventory**, and **availability**

You can view and manage offers under **Retailers > Offers** in the Dashboard.

## Disconnecting

To disconnect a POS integration, go to **Settings > Integrations**, find the connected system, and click **Disconnect**. Existing offers and synced data are retained but will no longer update.
