Epos Now + Leal

Connect Epos Now to Leal

Epos Now is one of the most recognised EPOS brands in the UK, strong in both retail and hospitality. Its AppStore approach expects loyalty to be plugged in rather than built in, and Leal is exactly that plug-in layer.

The short version

Epos Now has an official Zapier app in its AppStore. One Zap connects the New Transaction trigger to Leal's Find customer and Add stamps actions. About 15 minutes, no code.

Why pair Epos Now with Leal

  • Epos Now expects loyalty to come from its AppStore partners, so Leal fits its model naturally.
  • Leal wallet passes replace paper stamp cards that customers lose between visits.
  • The same Zap works whether you run the retail or hospitality software, one till or many.

Set up Epos Now and Leal with Zapier

  1. 1

    Install Zapier from the AppStore

    In your Epos Now back office, open the AppStore and install the Zapier app. Then copy your Leal API key from your Leal dashboard settings.

  2. 2

    Create a Zap with the Epos Now trigger

    In Zapier, choose Epos Now as the trigger app with the New Transaction event and connect your account.

  3. 3

    Add Leal's Find Customer action

    Choose Leal as the action app and select Find Customer. Set External System to epos_now and map the transaction's Customer ID into External ID, or use Search Query with the customer email if your transactions carry one.

  4. 4

    Add Leal's Add Stamps action

    Add a second Leal action using Add Stamps. Select your Loyalty Card, map the Customer from the Find Customer step, and leave Number of Stamps at 1.

  5. 5

    Test and turn on

    Run a test transaction, confirm the stamp appears in Leal, then publish the Zap.

Good to know

  • Leal's Find Customer matches by fuzzy search across name, email, phone, and card code, or exactly by External System plus External ID once a customer is linked.
  • Leal's Create Customer needs a first name plus an email or phone, and its Send Card Links option delivers the Apple Wallet and Google Wallet links automatically.
  • Leal's triggers fire instantly via webhooks, so Zaps on the Leal side run within seconds.

What you can automate

Every qualifying sale moves the customer's Leal card forward automatically.

Frequently asked questions

Does Epos Now work with Leal?

Yes. Epos Now's official Zapier app, available in the Epos Now AppStore, connects to Leal so transactions and new customers can automatically trigger stamps and signups.

Where do I find Zapier in Epos Now?

Install the Zapier app from the Epos Now AppStore, then build your Zap in Zapier using Epos Now as the trigger app.

Does this work for both retail and hospitality setups?
