How to Connect Your POS to a Scan App

Want to offer your customers digital receipts instantly? The solution: connect your POS (Point of Sale) system to a scanning app like ScanTicket. This integration is easier than you think — and delivers huge benefits for both retailers and shoppers.

Step 1: Choose a compatible scan app

Start by selecting a scan app that supports POS integration. Look for features like QR-code generation, API availability, or compatibility with common retail software (e.g. Square, Lightspeed, Cegid).

Step 2: Check integration methods

  • API Integration: Your POS sends ticket data to the scan app automatically via secure APIs.
  • QR Code on receipt: The POS prints a QR code — the customer scans it to instantly retrieve the digital version.
  • Email redirection: Customers can opt in to receive the ticket via a link or anonymous email.

Step 3: Configure your system

Coordinate with your IT provider or use in-app setup guides to activate the connection. You’ll need:

  • API credentials (if using direct sync)
  • Settings for ticket format and data fields
  • Consent management for GDPR compliance

Step 4: Train your team

Brief staff on how to offer the digital receipt option at checkout. Explain benefits to customers: faster returns, no lost proofs, and eco-friendly experience.

Conclusion: Connecting your POS to a scan app streamlines operations and enhances service. Whether you run a boutique or a chain, integrating digital receipts is a smart move — for your brand, your customers, and the planet.
