Frequently asked questions

Does PHP Point Of Sale work with Leal?

Yes. PHP Point Of Sale has an official Zapier app with sale and customer triggers, which Leal uses to add stamps and enrol customers automatically.

Do sales without a customer attached still stamp?

No. Leal needs to know whose card to stamp, so the sale must be rung up against a customer record. For walk-up sales, customers can scan your Leal QR code at the counter instead.

Does this work across multiple registers and locations?

Yes. One Zap covers every register by default, and Zapier filters let you run different rules per location if you need them.

Is PHP Point Of Sale a hosted or self-hosted system?

It is offered as a hosted web-based system, with a self-hosted option available. The Zapier connection is designed for the hosted version, so check your setup before building the Zap.
