Cash close by hand every night, 30-60 min per outlet
The manager downloads the Z report from the POS, reconciles cash plus card plus Bizum, copies the totals into Holded or Excel. If you have 5 stores, 5 people doing the same thing every night.
Vertical · Physical retail
Physical stores with POS, ecommerce and Holded in sync
Automatic daily cash close, unified stock between store and online, invoicing with the correct tax ID and Verifactu ready. Multi-location chains consolidated in a single Holded.
Modern physical retail operates multi-channel: POS in store (Verial, Glop, Hiopos), own ecommerce (Shopify, WooCommerce, PrestaShop), marketplaces (Amazon, eBay), shipping with several carriers (MRW, SEUR, GLS, Correos). With no serious integration, each channel lives on its own: cash closes by hand every night, stock out of date between store and web, returns that never reach the ERP, consolidated reporting impossible. We connect POS plus ecommerce plus shipping plus Holded so the daily operation flows and the financial reality is visible in real time.
- Physical stores (fashion, sports, bookshops, stationers, decor) with or without ecommerce
- Chains of 2-15 outlets with centralised admin
- Omnichannel commerce (store plus Shopify plus Amazon) seeking consolidation
- Specialist stores (wine, gourmet, gifts) with a mix of B2B and B2C clientele
Typical pains
What we see in physical retail before we start
Stock between physical store and ecommerce with a 24-48 h lag
You sell on Shopify what you no longer have in store. Or you stop selling online what is sitting idle in store. Complaints and returns that damage your reputation.
Returns in the physical store that never reach the ecommerce
The client bought online, returns in store. The POS records the return but the ecommerce still sees the order as delivered. Stock goes out of balance in both directions.
Multi-location with reporting impossible
A chain with 5 stores: each one its own Z report, its own Excel, its own monthly close. The director wants a margin comparison by store and it is 2 days of Excel.
What we build
The stack ready for your vertical
- Automatic daily cash close: POS to a Holded entry with VAT breakdown and payment method
- Unified stock: an adjustment in the POS (a sale) impacts Holded stock and from there Shopify/WooCommerce
- Omnichannel returns: client buys online, returns in store to a credit note in Holded plus restock in both
- Unified catalogue: creating a product in Holded to propagation to POS plus ecommerce with a consistent SKU
- Multi-location consolidated: each store to a Holded cost centre for reporting by point of sale
- Shipping labels Packlink/Outvio/MRW/SEUR generated from Holded for online orders
- B2B invoices with a tax ID for corporate clients (companies, Christmas gifts) issued correctly
- Verifactu compliance with the POS in a correct hash chain

Frequently asked questions in physical retail
Does it work with any POS?
Any one with an API or a connector via Redsys: Verial, Glop, Camarero10, Square, SumUp, Hiopos, Tilby, Verifone. If your POS has no modern API but we can access its local database, we integrate it too with a bridge.
How long does it take for a chain of several outlets?
A single outlet with POS plus ecommerce: 10-15 days. A chain of 3-5 outlets with the same configuration: an extra 5-8 days for the consolidation. A chain of 10+: 20-30 days with onboarding in blocks.
Is it Verifactu compliant with a POS?
Yes. Each POS ticket becomes a simplified invoice in Holded valid for Verifactu (correct hash chain from the moment of issue). For tickets over 3,000 EUR (B2B with a tax ID), a full invoice. We verify it on each POS before go-live.
What about the marketplaces (Amazon, eBay)?
Amazon FBA / FBM with a specific connector (see /en/integrations/holded-amazon). Each marketplace order to a Holded invoice with the correct client, VAT and payment method. The marketplace commission is posted as a separate commercial expense.
Stock in real time between store and ecommerce?
Yes. A sale in the POS to a Holded adjustment in seconds to propagation to Shopify/WooCommerce in under 1 minute. Conflict resolution by timestamp if both systems modify the same SKU simultaneously.
What if I only have a physical store with no ecommerce?
It works just as well. The POS plus Holded connector on its own gives you an automatic close, B2B invoicing with the correct tax ID, and consolidated reporting if you have several outlets. The ecommerce module is added when you need it.
