POS to ADP Integration: How to Connect Your POS System with ADP

As soon as a hiring manager presses the new hire button in ADP, the new worker’s details appear in your POS system in near real time — nobody retypes them, and the worker gets on the floor immediately. Employee changes made in ADP update the POS system the same way, so the data a worker needs to clock in and be paid stays current.

Data travels the other way too. Hours, time calculated from punch-in and punch-out data, tips and commissions, and payroll earnings all move from your POS system into ADP, so payroll runs on what actually happened on the floor instead of on a spreadsheet somebody assembled by hand. Most of these run API-to-API with no file uploads. Tips and commissions and payroll earnings can also start from a file your POS system sends by FTP, which Flexspring then imports into ADP by API.

Flexspring builds, hosts, and monitors the connection for you, and no internal IT resources are needed — Flexspring’s experts do all the custom data mapping. A custom integration is fully deployed in 6-8 weeks, depending on complexity. Flexspring is an ADP Marketplace Platinum Partner and one of the leading sellers of custom connectors for POS systems with ADP.

What syncs between the two systems

Here are the six integration use cases Flexspring is asked for most often between POS systems and ADP. Each row names the direction the data travels. Most flow from your POS system into ADP; new hires and employee updates flow from ADP into your POS system. Two rows begin with a file your POS system sends by FTP, which Flexspring imports into ADP by API. With Flexspring, you only pay for the use case or use cases you need.

How the integration works

1
Scoping. You pick the use cases you need from the list above. Flexspring maps every field between the two systems, including your custom fields and business rules.
2
Direct connection. Flexspring iPaaS connects the two systems to each other over secure APIs. There are no spreadsheets to export, no files to transfer, and no manual steps in the middle.
3
Near real-time sync. When a record changes — a hire, a promotion, an approved time-off request — the change moves across in near real time rather than waiting for an overnight batch.
4
Monitoring and error handling. The integration is monitored continuously, with error handling, visibility into every transaction, and a named support contact. When either app changes their API, Flexspring updates your integration.
5
Ongoing changes. Your integration is future-proofed for ongoing enhancements without re-implementation, and adapts to custom fields, new locations, new systems and business rules.

Flexspring iPaaS does not store employee data beyond temporary transaction logs, and meets SOC 2, GDPR and ISO 27001 standards.

Frequently asked questions

Does ADP integrate with POS systems?

With data integration, new hires and employee updates move from ADP into your POS system in near real time, and hours, punch times, tips and commissions, and payroll earnings move from your POS system into ADP. Flexspring builds the integration to match your custom fields and business rules, then hosts and monitors it.

How do tips and commissions get into ADP?

Two ways, depending on what your POS system supports. Flexspring pulls tips and commissions from your POS system by API on a weekly, bi-weekly or daily basis and adds them inside ADP, or your POS system sends a tips and commissions file by FTP and Flexspring imports it into ADP by API. Either way the payroll admin has accurate amounts before the next paycheck, with no manual consolidation.

What employee information syncs?

With data integration, hours for weekly, bi-weekly or daily timesheets, time calculated from punch-in and punch-out data, tips and commissions, and payroll earnings all sync from your POS system into ADP. New hires and employee updates travel from ADP into your POS system with the information a worker needs to use it. You can also add one-time payments, banking and tax, expense management, learning management, equity systems, background checks and assessments.

How long does the integration take?

Flexspring builds, hosts, and monitors the connector. A custom integration of the Flexspring connector for your POS system with ADP is fully deployed in 6-8 weeks, depending on complexity, once mapping and API access requirements are met. Custom integration by Flexspring includes unlimited custom fields and unlimited business rules. Flexspring does all the data mapping, so no internal IT resources are needed.

Is our employee data stored anywhere during the transfer?

Flexspring does not store employee data beyond temporary transaction logs, and does not require anyone to handle the data manually. Flexspring meets SOC 2, GDPR and ISO 27001 standards.

Do we need IT or a developer to set this up?

No internal IT resources are needed to create your data integration. Flexspring’s team builds the integration to your requirements and monitors it afterwards, including handling API changes from either vendor. Your part is deciding which use cases you need and confirming Flexspring’s recommendations for how your fields should map.

Why connect POS Systems to ADP?

With data integration, as soon as a hiring manager presses the new hire button in ADP, the new worker’s details appear in your POS system in near real time — nobody retypes them, and the worker gets on the floor immediately.

What’s the best way to connect POS Systems to ADP?

The best way to connect POS Systems to ADP depends on your data and business requirements. A standard connector can work for simple data flows, while custom fields and unique business rules require a tailored integration. If you go the custom route, you can build the integration yourself or choose a managed integration like Flexspring’s — built and maintained for you, which is typically faster and cheaper.
