Cin7 Core WooCommerce POS — Oliver POS Integration Guide

Oliver POS doesn't have a partnership with Cin7 Core. It supports Cin7 Core the same way any WooCommerce store does — through the Cin7 Core (DEAR) + WooCommerce integration, which already syncs WooCommerce orders, customers, and refunds into Cin7 Core in real time (or on the schedule you've configured). Once you understand that, the rest of this guide is mechanical: every sale Oliver rings on the counter writes a normal WooCommerce order, the Cin7 Core connector posts it, and your in-store revenue lands on the same Cin7 Core ledger as your online revenue. Cin7 Core does the accounting. WooCommerce is the system of record. Oliver is the till on top.

What Cin7 Core is, exactly

Cin7 Core (the rebranded DEAR Systems) is the inventory-management and accounting platform popular with growing retailers and manufacturer-retailers who outgrew their original QuickBooks- or Xero-only setup. Its native WooCommerce integration syncs orders, customers, products, and stock movements; the accounting can either live in Cin7 Core itself or push downstream to QuickBooks Online or Xero.

For our purposes the important thing about Cin7 Core isn't any specific feature — it's that the WooCommerce connector is mature, well-supported, and treats every WooCommerce order as a first-class transaction in Cin7 Core. Oliver POS doesn't add a second Cin7 Core connector or modify the data path. It writes register sales into WooCommerce, and the existing Cin7 Core connector picks them up.

How Oliver POS feeds in-store sales into Cin7 Core

The Cin7 Core WooCommerce POS flow inside Oliver is short and predictable:

1. The cashier rings the sale on the Oliver register, scans or selects items, and taps Charge.
2. Oliver prompts to attach a customer — by email lookup, phone-number lookup, or a fresh customer card.
3. The cashier takes payment through whatever WooCommerce payment gateway the store uses.
4. Oliver writes a standard WooCommerce order with the customer ID, line items, totals, VAT / GST / sales tax splits, and payment method.
5. The Cin7 Core (DEAR) + WooCommerce integration sees the new order through WooCommerce hooks within seconds.
6. The connector posts a sales order or invoice to Cin7 Core with the right VAT / GST / sales tax codes, customer, and revenue/payment-account mappings.
7. Cin7 Core's standard processing runs on the new document — journal entries, payment matching, VAT / GST / sales tax accruals, and any downstream automation you've set up.

End to end, the in-store sale arrives in Cin7 Core before the customer has left the store (in per-order mode) or as part of the next end-of-day summary (in daily-summary mode). Either way, no manual entry is required.

The Cin7 Core WooCommerce connector — what Oliver rides on

Oliver doesn't add a second Cin7 Core connector or duplicate the sync. The plugin Oliver rides on is the standard Cin7 Core (DEAR) + WooCommerce integration, available at www.cin7.com/integrations/woocommerce/. It's built specifically to handle the WooCommerce → Cin7 Core data path, including VAT / GST / sales tax mapping, customer matching, refund handling, and the standard reporting flow.

Setup is identical to setup for any WooCommerce store: install the connector, connect to your Cin7 Core account, map the chart of accounts and VAT / GST / sales tax codes, and let the initial sync run. Once that's done, every WooCommerce order — including every Oliver POS register sale — flows into Cin7 Core on the same path.

Why pushing in-store sales into Cin7 Core matters

Most retailers running Cin7 Core on a WooCommerce store have an online-skewed ledger, because online is where the data has historically flowed automatically. The result is a Cin7 Core ledger that knows everything about online orders and almost nothing about counter sales. The downstream consequences are real:

• The upgrade reason was a stronger inventory engine. Cin7 Core exists to handle inventory and BOMs that QuickBooks-only or Xero-only couldn't. A disconnected POS undoes that.
• Manufacturer-retailers lose BOM accuracy. A POS that doesn't hit Cin7 Core breaks finished-goods BOM tracking.
• The downstream QB/Xero ledger is wrong twice over. If Cin7 Core pushes to QB or Xero, missing in-store sales propagate the error all the way to the GL.

Push Oliver POS sales through the WooCommerce sync and all of those problems resolve at once. Cin7 Core sees one revenue stream, one VAT / GST / sales tax-liability total, and one customer ledger across online and in-store activity. The bookkeeper's reconciliation against the bank stops being a forensic exercise. The advisor or accountant works from one source. The dashboard finally tells you what your business is really doing — online and in store combined.

What this is NOT

Oliver POS is not a Cin7 Core partner. There is no co-marketing agreement, no revenue share, and no special Cin7 Core pricing for Oliver merchants. Oliver does not insert itself between WooCommerce and Cin7 Core; the data path is exactly the same one any WooCommerce store uses. Oliver doesn't charge a markup, doesn't add a per-transaction fee on top, and doesn't take a cut of the Cin7 Core subscription. Your Cin7 Core account, ledger, and contract are entirely between you and Cin7 Core.

It's also worth saying that Oliver POS doesn't change the data ownership story. The WooCommerce orders table on your own WordPress install remains the source of truth. Oliver writes into it; Cin7 Core reads from it through the connector. If you ever leave Cin7 Core, the data stays where it has always been — in WooCommerce.

Setup in 4 steps

1. Install the Cin7 Core (DEAR) + WooCommerce integration on your WordPress site and connect it to your Cin7 Core account, mapping the WooCommerce sales, VAT / GST / sales tax, and payment-method accounts to your Cin7 Core chart of accounts.
2. Verify the initial sync completes and confirm a recent online order appears as the expected sales order or invoice in Cin7 Core.
3. Install Oliver POS, sign in to the register on your counter tablet, and confirm the customer-capture prompt is enabled at checkout.
4. Run a small live test sale at the counter, attach a customer, and confirm the sales order or invoice appears in Cin7 Core with the right totals and VAT / GST / sales tax splits.

FAQ

Does Cin7 Core push Oliver POS sales through to QuickBooks or Xero?

Yes, if your Cin7 Core deployment uses QuickBooks Online or Xero as the underlying GL. Cin7 Core posts the journal entry to the configured accounting platform; Oliver POS sales follow the same path because they arrive in Cin7 Core through the WooCommerce sync.

Will Cin7 Core BOM and assembly handling work for Oliver POS sales of kitted products?

Yes. Cin7 Core treats a sales order with a BOM the same way regardless of source. Oliver POS sales of kitted SKUs trigger the same component deduction as an online order of the same SKU.

Does Oliver POS have a partnership with Cin7 Core?

No. Oliver doesn't partner with Cin7 Core or any other accounting platform. We support Cin7 Core because its WooCommerce connector already pulls orders, refunds, VAT / GST / sales tax, and customers from your store — and Oliver writes every in-store sale into WooCommerce as a standard order, so the same connector picks it up automatically. Your Cin7 Core subscription, your ledger, and your contract stay between you and Cin7 Core.

Does Oliver charge extra to use Cin7 Core?

No. You pay Cin7 Core directly on Cin7 Core's published pricing. Oliver's pricing is a flat monthly POS software fee that has nothing to do with the accounting platform you choose.

Will my in-store and online sales reconcile against one set of books in Cin7 Core?

Yes. Oliver POS writes register sales into the same WooCommerce store that powers your online checkout, so by the time orders reach the Cin7 Core connector they're already a unified order stream. Cin7 Core sees one revenue feed, one VAT / GST / sales tax-liability total, and one customer ledger — no manual reconciliation between an online and an in-store set of books.
