Reckon Accounts on Oliver POS
Reckon Accounts and Reckon One receive Oliver POS counter sales through the WooCommerce + Reckon connector — Australian accounting with in-store revenue on the same ledger.
How Reckon Accounts works with Oliver POS for WooCommerce
Reckon Accounts (and the cloud-native Reckon One) is a long-standing Australian SMB accounting platform used by small businesses and many accountants. The WooCommerce + Reckon connector posts orders as Reckon invoices and customers as Reckon customers. Oliver POS records register sales in WooCommerce, and Reckon picks them up — so your BAS and GST returns reflect the unified online and in-store activity.
What Reckon gets from WooCommerce
The Reckon WooCommerce integration syncs WooCommerce orders as Reckon invoices or tax invoices, customers as Reckon customers, and refunds as adjustment notes. Reckon then handles your BAS reporting, GST returns, and statutory accounts.
Oliver POS sales become WooCommerce orders, and the Reckon connector treats them exactly the same as online orders.
Why in-store sales are important for your Reckon ledger
Reckon is most often used by Australian small businesses that have a long-term relationship with their accountant—if the accountant uses Reckon, the business does too. Reckon's value is that it's the single ledger the accountant uses. A POS that doesn't send data to Reckon means the accountant has to deal with two data sources, which is exactly what they want to avoid.
Oliver POS on WooCommerce keeps all your data in Reckon. Sales from the counter are automatically sent to Reckon with the correct GST breakdowns. Preparing your BAS becomes a routine job instead of an investigation, and your year-end accounting is clean and straightforward.
How the WooCommerce + Oliver + Reckon sync works
The cashier rings up the sale on Oliver POS, adds the customer, and takes the payment. Oliver then creates a WooCommerce order. The Reckon connector creates a new Reckon customer or matches an existing one, posts a tax invoice with line items and GST codes, and records the payment to the configured Reckon bank account.
Best fit for retailers who…
Reckon on Oliver POS is a great fit for Australian small retailers who are already using Reckon Accounts or Reckon One, especially those whose accountant has been using Reckon for a long time.

Common questions about Reckon Accounts on Oliver POS
Does Reckon support real-time sync for Oliver POS sales?
The Reckon WooCommerce connector typically runs in near-real-time (every few minutes) or on a per-order basis, depending on your setup. Either way, Oliver POS sales are sent to Reckon the same way and on the same schedule as your online WooCommerce orders.
Can Reckon One (the cloud version) work with Oliver POS?
Yes. Reckon One's WooCommerce integration works the same way as Reckon Accounts. Oliver POS records the sale in WooCommerce, and Reckon One syncs it through the connector.
Does Oliver POS have a partnership with Reckon Accounts?
No. Oliver doesn't partner with Reckon Accounts or any other accounting platform. We support Reckon Accounts because its WooCommerce connector already pulls orders, refunds, taxes, and customers from your store — and Oliver saves every in-store sale to 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 Reckon Accounts.
Does Oliver charge extra to use Reckon Accounts?
No. You pay Reckon Accounts's standard published pricing directly to Reckon Accounts. 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 Reckon Accounts?
Yes. Every Oliver POS sale is saved to WooCommerce as a standard order with the customer, line items, taxes, and payment method attached. The Reckon Accounts 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.
Will my in-store and online sales reconcile against one set of books in Reckon Accounts?
Yes. Oliver POS saves register sales to the same WooCommerce store that powers your online checkout, so by the time orders reach the Reckon Accounts WooCommerce connector they're already a unified order stream. Reckon Accounts 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.
