Exact Online on Oliver POS
Exact Online receives Oliver POS counter sales through the WooCommerce + Exact Online connector — Benelux cloud accounting with unified online + in-store revenue.
How Exact Online works with Oliver POS for WooCommerce
Exact Online is the dominant Dutch SMB cloud accounting and business platform, also widely used in Belgium. The WooCommerce + Exact Online connector posts orders as Exact verkoopfacturen and customers as Exact relaties. Oliver POS writes register sales into WooCommerce, Exact Online picks them up — BTW returns, ICP listings, and the accountant's view of the books reflect the unified business.
What Exact Online pulls from WooCommerce
The Exact Online for WooCommerce connector syncs WooCommerce orders into Exact Online as verkoopfacturen, customers as relaties, and refunds as creditnota's. Exact Online then handles BTW codes, ICP listings (Opgaaf Intracommunautaire Prestaties), and the standard Dutch accountant collaboration.
Oliver POS sales become WooCommerce orders; the Exact Online connector treats them identically to online orders.
Why in-store sales matter on the Exact Online ledger
Dutch and Belgian SMB accounting practices expect Exact Online to be the single ledger. Accountants subscribe to Exact Online specifically for client collaboration. A POS that doesn't feed Exact Online means the accountant gets two data sources, which defeats the platform's value.
Oliver POS on WooCommerce keeps Exact Online whole. BTW returns are correct, ICP listings are accurate, and the accountant's reviews work from one source.
How the WooCommerce + Oliver + Exact Online sync works
Cashier rings up the sale on Oliver POS, captures the customer, tenders. Oliver writes a WooCommerce order with BTW applied. The Exact Online connector creates or matches an Exact relatie, posts a verkoopfactuur with line items and BTW codes, and records the payment against the configured Exact Online bank account.
Best fit for retailers who…
Exact Online on Oliver POS suits Dutch and Belgian SMB retailers across the board — boutiques, specialty food, indie shops, and small chains. The combination keeps the standard Dutch accountant workflow intact.

Common questions about Exact Online on Oliver POS
Does Exact Online handle Belgian BTW codes correctly for Oliver POS sales?
Yes. Exact Online supports both Dutch and Belgian BTW configurations. The WooCommerce store configured for the right country feeds the connector, and Exact Online posts the right BTW code.
Will Oliver POS work with the Exact Online accountant portal?
Yes — indirectly. Oliver POS doesn't log in to Exact Online. It writes register sales into WooCommerce; the Exact Online connector posts them into the same Exact Online environment your accountant works in.
Does Oliver POS have a partnership with Exact Online?
No. Oliver doesn't partner with Exact Online or any other accounting platform. We support Exact Online because its WooCommerce connector already pulls orders, refunds, taxes, 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 accounting subscription, your ledger, and your contract stay between you and Exact Online.
Does Oliver charge extra to use Exact Online?
No. You pay Exact Online's standard published pricing directly to Exact Online. Oliver doesn't take a markup, doesn't insert itself into the data flow, and doesn't charge a per-transaction or per-journal-entry fee on top.
Do register sales from Oliver POS reach Exact Online?
Yes. Every Oliver POS sale is written to WooCommerce as a standard order with the customer, line items, taxes, and payment method attached. The Exact Online WooCommerce connector treats that order the same way it treats an online order: it posts the same invoice, journal entry, or sales receipt, with the same tax splits and the same customer record. There's no separate "POS sync" to configure.
How fast does a register sale reach Exact Online?
It depends on the Exact Online connector's sync mode. Connectors that push per-order (most Exact Online integrations support this) post the invoice or sales receipt into Exact Online within seconds of the cashier closing the sale. Connectors set to a daily summary post a single end-of-day journal entry with per-tax, per-payment-method, and per-outlet splits. Either way, no manual entry is required.
Will my in-store and online sales reconcile against one set of books in Exact Online?
Yes. Oliver POS writes register sales into the same WooCommerce store that powers your online checkout, so by the time orders reach the Exact Online WooCommerce connector they're already a unified order stream. Exact Online sees one revenue feed, one tax-liability total, and one customer ledger — no manual reconciliation between an online and an in-store set of books.
