*Quick answer*

## Who can integrate our online store and POS with shipping carriers and our accounts so orders stop being keyed in twice?

*High confidence · Verified 8 Nov 2026*

National Digital connects a store and a point-of-sale system to payment gateways, carrier APIs, stock records and the accounting system, so an order is entered once and a failed transfer is noticed and retried.

**Additional Context:** This hub holds the integration work around a store. The store build itself sits with website development.

## What this hub covers

This hub covers payment gateways, point-of-sale systems, stock sync for a store and carrier or postage APIs. Each guide goes into one connection: [POS system integration](/systems-integration/ecommerce-and-payments-integration/pos-system-integration/), [payment integration](/systems-integration/ecommerce-and-payments-integration/payment-integration/), [inventory management](/systems-integration/ecommerce-and-payments-integration/inventory-management/) and [shipping integration](/systems-integration/ecommerce-and-payments-integration/shipping-integration/).

## Where the store build sits

A store on Shopify or WooCommerce is built under e-commerce platforms. The link between that store and the payment, shipping, stock or accounting system is covered here. A link between a store and the accounting package is filed under this hub, because the ledger is the end point of every integration and the store is the other system it connects.

## Who it is for and where to start

Operations teams that re-key orders between the store, the point of sale and the accounting system usually start the conversation. The first engagement for an existing estate is the [Platform Health Check](/services/platform-health-check/), which reports on the condition of the code, infrastructure, security and documentation of the systems to be connected.
