NewStore POS and Reveni
Integration Agency & Consultants
The gap between a store associate processing a return and the finance team reconciling a refund often leads to operational friction and financial variances. When NewStore POS is disconnected from Reveni, physical returns frequently result in phantom stock and reporting discrepancies. This integration ensures that items scanned at the point of sale are reflected accurately in your returns management system, protecting margins and maintaining inventory truth.

By addressing integration gaps and inefficiencies, we help you deliver a reliable experience for your customers and keep your technology ecosystem performing at its best.
Solution Design
In the NewStore POS and Reveni integration, we treat NewStore as the source of truth for physical receipts and Reveni for refund status. Data flows are typically structured so that transaction capture occurs on a defined frequency for fast refund initiation, while inventory and tax updates are batched to preserve ledger stability. This creates a trade-off where financial accuracy is prioritised over real-time stock reporting, preventing sync errors during high-volume periods. The design ensures store associates can process returns without delay while providing finance with a reliable audit trail for reconciliation. This approach allows the finance team to close the month with confidence using Reveni as the record for refunds, while the store team maintains operational flow within the POS.
Mapping transaction data and refund triggers
NewStore POS serves as the source of truth for the physical return transaction, capturing item details and customer identifiers. This data is passed to Reveni to trigger financial reconciliation and refund processing. We sequence the flow so that the physical receipt is confirmed at the point of sale before Reveni initiates a refund, reducing the risk of payout errors. The integration maps tax and discount data across systems to maintain ledger accuracy and uses early issue detection to identify sync errors.
Orchestrating workflows on secure middleware platforms
Leveraging IPaaS with ISO 27001 and SOC 2 and above security accreditations ensures secure, efficient integration between NewStore POS and Reveni, supporting both POS and Returns processes. Using an IPaaS platform simplifies connecting NewStore POS with Reveni, automating Returns and data flows while maintaining strict security standards. This approach reduces manual effort, increases reliability, and ensures compliance, making integrations faster and safer for businesses.
Monitoring sync gaps and reconciliation exceptions
Dashboards showing total return volume are insufficient for managing financial risk. Effective visibility requires detecting when a return captured in NewStore POS fails to create a corresponding record in Reveni. These hidden gaps often compound over time, leading to significant inventory discrepancies. We surface these exceptions early, identifying specific transaction IDs where data mapping failed or the sync was interrupted. By focusing on exception management rather than just total volume, your team can resolve reconciliation gaps before they impact month-end reporting or customer trust.

Common failures
Inaccurate inventory from returned stock\n\n
Operational impact: When a return is processed at the NewStore POS, failure to pass an accurate disposition status creates phantom inventory. The fulfilment team sees available stock that is actually damaged or held in quarantine, leading to cancelled orders and customer friction. Finance cannot get a clear view of written-off stock without manual counts.\n\n
Prevention / Action: The integration must distinguish between the return event and the restock event. SKUs should only return to sellable inventory after a condition check is confirmed. The integration should be configured to ensure inventory updates are only triggered when the item is verified as sellable.\n\n
Mismatched refund and order values\n\n
Operational impact: Discrepancies between the NewStore refund value and the Reveni settlement amount often occur with promotions or partial returns. This creates reconciliation debt at month-end, as journal entries do not align with original orders. Investigating these gaps consumes significant operational time for the finance team.\n\n
Prevention / Action: The data transfer from NewStore must include a full line item breakdown, including applied discounts. Mapping these correctly in Reveni prevents settlement drift and allows for automated flagging of discrepancies, reducing manual audit requirements.
Frequently asked questions
Can a staff member process an in-store return for an online order, and will the systems handle it?
Yes, this 'buy online, return in-store' (BORIS) process is a core function of the integration. The store associate uses NewStore POS to find the original customer order, typically by using the order ID. The integration passes this original order ID and the specific returned SKU to Reveni, which correctly attributes the return and ensures accurate inventory and financial records.
How do you prevent data discrepancies between a NewStore POS return and the record in Reveni?
When a return is processed in NewStore POS, it sends the transaction details to Reveni. A key risk is that 'ghost' SKUs or incorrect item data cause the transaction to fail in Reveni. The integration validates data like the SKU from NewStore against the master product catalogue before creating the Return record in Reveni, which prevents downstream financial reconciliation gaps.
What happens if an item is returned damaged? How is this handled between NewStore POS and Reveni?
During the returns process in NewStore POS, the associate can mark an item with a specific disposition, such as 'damaged' or 'unsellable'. This status is critical data passed from NewStore to Reveni. Reveni then uses this disposition to ensure the specific item's SKU is routed correctly, for example to a quarantine location rather than back into sellable inventory, preventing 'phantom stock'.
If a customer without an account returns an item in store, how is their data handled between NewStore and Reveni?
NewStore POS captures the transaction, and any customer details provided at the till like an email address are passed to Reveni. As the source of truth for returns history, Reveni can create a customer record or link the return to a prior guest transaction. This process centralises the customer's return history in Reveni, even if their original purchase was made online as a guest.
