Adding an Integrator to a Venue

Updated 1 week ago

What's changed with V3: no more API keys

With POSaBIT API V3, you no longer need to generate, copy, or send API keys to your integrators. Connecting an integrator is now one step in your Venues Portal:

• You turn on the integration under Settings → Integration Connections (NEW).
• Your integrator retrieves your venue's secure connection directly from POSaBIT.
• Nobody emails, pastes, or shares a key.

Why this is better

• More secure: credentials never travel through email, text, or spreadsheets.
• Faster: there's no back-and-forth waiting on keys.
• You stay in control: you choose which integrators connect and what data they can access.

Steps to add an integrator

1. Log in to the Venues Portal for the venue you are connecting.
2. Under the Settings menu, go to Integration Connections (NEW).
   1. Locate the integrator you want to add to this venue and select Add.
      1. If you don't see your integrator listed, ask your integrator to contact POSaBIT's API team at api-support@posabit.com so we can get them added.

      

3. On the page that opens, configure the following:
   1. Active: turns the connection on.
      NOTE: Uncheck it to stop sharing data with the integrator
   2. Data Sharing: these toggles are enforced at the API level, not just in the portal
      1. Share Customer PII Data: if this is off, no customer data is returned to the integrator through the API
      2. Share Employee PII Data: if this is off, no employee data is returned to the integrator through the API.
      Only certain integrators require PII data. Confirm with your integrator whether they need it.
      Some integrators may have additional fields to complete.

      

4. Save.
   
   

   After you save

   Your integrator can now connect to your venue. Integrators check for new connections on their own schedule, so let them know you've completed this step.
   If your integrator still doesn't see your venue, ask them to re-check their connection list (GET /v3/info) or contact api-support@posabit.com.
   

   Frequently asked questions

   Do I need to send my integrator an API key?

   No. With V3, activating the connection in your Venues Portal is all that's needed.
   Will this affect my current integration?

   No. Your existing V1/V2 connection keeps working until the V1/V2 sunset on November 1, 2026. After that date, only V3 connections will work.
   My integrator says they can't see my venue.

   Confirm that Active is checked and that you clicked Save, then ask your integrator to re-check for new connections.
   I don't see my integrator in the list.

   Ask your integrator to contact api-support@posabit.com so they can be added.
