Payment Integrations and Online Stores (Overview)

Edited

HirePOS supports integration with various online store platforms for managing bookings. However, payments from external stores do not currently sync automatically. Below is a breakdown of how different platforms integrate with HirePOS and how payments are handled.

Online Store Platforms & Payment Handling

This section discusses how payments can be handled, depending on if you are using an external online store or are using the built-in HirePOS online store.

External Online Stores (Squarespace, Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, etc.)

  • Any online store that integrates with Zapier can be used with HirePOS.

  • New orders from your online store can automatically create itemised bookings in HirePOS.

  • Payments captured in an external store will not sync automatically to HirePOS - you will need to mark payments manually.

Payment Providers

  • Your online store may use payment providers such as Square, Stripe, PayPal, or Pin Payments.

  • Pin Payments is currently the only payment gateway with a direct integration into HirePOS.

  • You can still use any other online store and payment provider, but if payments are taken at the time of order submission, you must manually update HirePOS when accepting the booking.

    • You may be able to use HirePOS Bank Feeds with your payment provider to help improve the efficiency of this process.

To manually mark a payment in HirePOS:

  1. Accept the new order in HirePOS.

  2. Click "Receive Payment" in the booking/invoice screen.

  3. Enter and save the payment record (ensure the amount matches the online payment).

  4. The booking will now appear paid in HirePOS.

HirePOS Online Store (Integrated Payments with Pin Payments)

If you use the HirePOS Online Store with Pin Payments, you can receive payments at the time of booking, and payment records will be automatically created.

  • Fully integrated with HirePOS

  • Payments made through the HirePOS Online Store are recorded automatically

  • Can be embedded into an existing website

  • Simple, out-of-the-box solution (Less customisable than other platforms)

In-Store Payment Integrations

1. Supported EFTPOS Terminals

HirePOS has direct integrations with:

  • Windcave EFTPOS

  • Tyro EFTPOS

Clicking "EFTPOS" in HirePOS wakes up the terminal and prefills the payment amount.
Once the transaction is completed, the payment is automatically recorded in HirePOS.

2. Other EFTPOS Terminals

  • You can use any other EFTPOS terminal, but payments must be entered manually into HirePOS.

Payment Gateway Integration

Pin Payments

  • Securely stores customer card details

  • Processes payments & pre-authorisations

  • No physical hardware required - works from a computer

  • Can send invoices with a secure payment link

  • Payments made via Pin Payments are automatically recorded in HirePOS

  • Best suited for remote payments (not ideal for in-person transactions)
