The ASPOS connector is an ASPOS POS connector that synchronises order, product, and contact data to Spotler Connect. In this article, you'll learn more about the following
Spotler Connect
Spotler Connect allows you to synchronise and transform data such as contacts, orders, or activities between external systems, even if no direct integration is available between them. Connect gathers your data, saves it in your account environment, and changes the format before exporting it to other systems if necessary. By doing this continuously for all connectors in your account, the software can maintain a complete overview of your data in different systems and keep it in sync.
In Connect, you can add account-wide or integration-specific rules to modify data based on conditions, block import or export, or add actions when a condition is met. These rules allow you to customise data being handled in a way that works for external systems—for example, when you want to synchronise mailing opt-ins, activities, or orders.
Available data
| Data type | Import to Connect | Export to ASPOS | Timeframe |

* While Stock import is not available as separate import, it's possible to import stock levels alongside product data by using rule building.
Orders from ASPOS are imported in real-time. Only orders that are completed at POS are imported, so pending or unpaid orders are not available in Connect.
New products created in ASPOS are imported into Spotler Connect, and existing products are automatically updated and linked to a Connect Master Product. A product is considered new if Spotler Connect cannot match the barcode or SKU to an existing product in the same ASPOS account.
Product creation only works in one direction: from ASPOS to Spotler Connect. Products created through other connectors are created in Spotler Connect but not in ASPOS. If such a product is later also created in ASPOS, it will be linked to the existing Connect master product.
ASPOS contacts are imported to Connect and existing ASPOS customer profiles are updated based on changes coming through other connectors. As soon as a contact is created in ASPOS, a profile is made in Connect, and any related orders are linked to the contact. If a marketing automation connector or any other connector manages contact profiles, the contact profile will also be created in that system. Changes in contact profiles are processed in the same way.
Getting started with onboarding
To set up your connector with ASPOS, you will need the following data:
- API key

- RabbitMQ URL
- RabbitMQ Username
- RabbitMQ Password
- Contact creation queue
- Contact update queue
- Contact deletion queue
- Product creation queue
- Product update queue
- Order queue
Please follow the ASPOS onboarding guide for detailed instructions on the onboarding process.
