order-capture-floor-plan-editor

Restaurant mode, Table Management and Move Table documented; multiple floors with placed tables. No documented server-section assignment or table shape/capacity modeling. https://unicenta.com/features/ · retrieved 2026-08-01

order-capture-seat-level

Seat-number tagging of order lines is not mentioned in any public vendor documentation.

order-capture-coursing-hold-fire

Coursing, hold and fire-next-course appear nowhere in the vendor's enumerated hospitality feature set.

order-capture-split-merge

SCORE CHANGE unknown→partial (a raise, not a cut — the enum has no 'upgrade-to-partial'). The features page lists 'Split Receipts' and 'Transfer Order Item' under Sales, so splitting a check and moving items between checks are documented. Split by seat or by arbitrary amount, and check merging, remain undocumented — hence partial, not yes. https://unicenta.com/features/ · retrieved 2026-08-01 adversarially verified

order-capture-bar-tab-preauth differentiator

No pre-authorization, incremental re-auth, or stale-tab auto-close documented.

order-capture-transfer-audit

Move Table exists and roles are permissioned; no audit log naming both employees is documented. https://unicenta.com/features/ · retrieved 2026-08-01

order-capture-native-handheld

Upheld and reinforced against an obvious trap: the features page does list 'Mobile POS', which could easily have been read as a handheld. The FAQ confirms iPad and Android devices require 'an RDP app' to reach a host installation, and only Windows tablets run the app directly. Remote desktop session, not a native handheld. https://unicenta.com/faqs/ · retrieved 2026-08-01 adversarially verified

order-capture-offline-order-entry

Thick client on a local database keeps order entry and LAN printing alive offline, but the vendor publishes no offline statement.

order-capture-qr-same-check differentiator

No guest QR ordering; WooCommerce 'table ordering' creates a separate injected order, not a write to an open check.

order-capture-kiosk-first-party differentiator

No kiosk product and no accessibility conformance documentation.

order-capture-drive-thru

No drive-thru order flow documented.

order-capture-drive-thru-timers

No speed-of-service timing capability documented.

order-capture-voice-ai differentiator

No voice AI product and no partner program; no voice partner is named.

Future-dated orders and lead-time-driven fire scheduling are not described publicly.

order-capture-order-ready-signal differentiator

No marketplace integrations exist, so no order-ready signal can be pushed.

Role-based security levels gate actions; reason codes and a dedicated exception report are not documented. https://sourceforge.net/projects/unicentaopos/ · retrieved 2026-08-07

menu-pricing-nested-modifiers

'Attributes/Modifiers' listed. Nesting depth, min/max counts and forced-selection flags undocumented; the model is retail-variant oriented. https://unicenta.com/features/ · retrieved 2026-08-01

Attribute sets generate variants, but a two-axis grid with per-cell price override is not documented.

menu-pricing-included-allowance differentiator

No included-modifier allowance or overage charging documented.

menu-pricing-combos

SCORE CHANGE unknown→partial (a raise). 'Product Bundles' is listed under Inventory on the features page — a kit/bundle construct exists. Swap deltas, component substitution pricing and automatic cart conversion are undocumented, so it stops short of yes. https://unicenta.com/features/ · retrieved 2026-08-01 adversarially verified

menu-pricing-upsell-prompts differentiator

menu-pricing-86-propagation

Only WooCommerce is live; QuickBooks and Etsy are 'Coming Soon'. No marketplace menu push exists. https://unicenta.com/integrations/ · retrieved 2026-08-01

menu-pricing-dynamic-pricing

No rule-based dynamic pricing documented.

payments-processor-choice differentiator

Score stands but the note is factually wrong: the vendor DOES publish a processor list. The FAQ names Dejavoo (Americas) and PaymentSense (UK/Ireland) as the supported providers, each requiring a merchant account with that provider. So it is not 'no gateway list published' — it is a list of exactly one processor per region, which is weaker for the operator than the dossier implies. https://unicenta.com/faqs/ · retrieved 2026-08-01 adversarially verified

payments-published-rates differentiator

Card payments page publishes no rate — only unquantified 10%/15% subscriber 'rate discounts'. https://unicenta.com/card-payments/ · retrieved 2026-08-01

payments-dual-pricing differentiator

No two-price-per-item storage or dual cash/card receipt totals documented.

payments-surcharge-guardrails differentiator

No surcharging engine, BIN-based debit exclusion, or network cap enforcement documented.

payments-emv-nfc

The quoted EMV/PCI language does not appear on the cited card-payments page (which claims only 'integrated card payments in the UK, EU and USA', 'all major payment methods', 'get paid the next business day'). Where EMV/P2PE is claimed, it is for the third-party 'posApps Plugin Manager' — card gateways were removed from uniCenta core for PCI reasons — and posapps.io now 301-redirects through a parked-domain chain (pieshare.io → inheritdoc.io → momint.io). Contactless, Apple Pay and Google Pay are never named. Not native, not verifiable, possibly defunct. adversarially verified

payments-softpos-tap-to-pay differentiator

Tap to Pay on iPhone or Android tap-to-pay is not mentioned anywhere.

payments-pay-at-table

Vendor ships no handheld hardware, so there is no pay-at-table device. https://unicenta.com/features/ · retrieved 2026-08-01

payments-qr-guest-pay differentiator

Digital receipts exist, but no scan-to-pay flow that closes the check is documented.

payments-tip-adjust

Tip prompt, pre-auth-then-adjust flows and a batch adjust window are not documented.

payments-tip-pooling differentiator

No tip pooling or distribution rules exist anywhere in the product.

payments-offline-store-and-forward differentiator

No statement on offline card capture; the vendor publishes no offline documentation.

payments-offline-decline-liability differentiator

Nothing published on offline decline liability or a failed-offline-payment report.

payments-gift-cards

SCORE CHANGE unknown→partial (a raise). Beyond the 'Customer Store Card' the researcher found, the features page also lists 'Voucher management' as a system feature. Some stored-value construct is documented; balance mechanics, cross-location and online redemption are not. https://unicenta.com/features/ · retrieved 2026-08-01 adversarially verified

payments-house-accounts

The note's stated gap is wrong. The features page lists 'Statement' explicitly under customer data, together with 'Account Sale', 'Account Settlement', 'Credit Limit' and 'Transaction History'. Charge accounts with balances and statements are enumerated; the researcher missed the Statement line. https://unicenta.com/features/ · retrieved 2026-08-01 adversarially verified

payments-card-on-file differentiator

Claims 'get paid the next business day' but publishes no deposit schedule, cutoff times, or instant-funding option. https://unicenta.com/card-payments/ · retrieved 2026-08-01

payments-p2pe-pci4

Upheld, with an added caution for the write-up: uniCenta material claims a 'fully compliant and approved PCI/EMV P2PE PA-DSS solution' for Dejavoo. PA-DSS was retired in October 2022 and replaced by PCI SSF, so the claim is stale on its face, and no AoC, PCI DSS version, or P2PE listing entry is published. Unknown is the right score. adversarially verified

kitchen-station-routing

kitchen-prep-time-pacing differentiator

No per-item cook times or staggered start logic documented.

kitchen-order-throttling differentiator

kitchen-channel-pause-propagation differentiator

No marketplace connections exist to propagate a pause or availability change to.

kitchen-order-ready-callback differentiator

No marketplace status callback exists.

kitchen-sla-alerts

Target cook times, color escalation and audible alerts are not documented.

kitchen-printer-fallback differentiator

Automatic failover to a backup printer or screen is not documented.

kitchen-offline-operation differentiator

LAN-served displays would survive an internet outage by architecture, but no offline KDS behavior is documented.

kitchen-item-build-screens differentiator

No recipe-step or build-detail station display documented.

kitchen-pizza-fractional-display differentiator

There is no fractional placement in the menu engine, so nothing to render.

delivery-3p-direct-integration differentiator

Integrations page lists WooCommerce live, QuickBooks and Etsy coming soon. No marketplace integrations at all. https://unicenta.com/integrations/ · retrieved 2026-08-01

delivery-3p-injection

Re-grounded off the /api/ marketing page. uniCenta's complete published API artifact is its exported Insomnia collection at docs.unicenta.com/insomnia.json: 14 requests across exactly three resources (customer, order, product) against a base-url of https://api.unicenta.io. Order intake is a single generic POST /order whose body carries only products[] (name, priceExcludingTax, amount, tax) and customerId - no channel, order-source, marketplace or delivery fields, and no per-marketplace resource. The vendor's own Integrations page names one integrated partner, WooCommerce ("Get Customers / Get Orders / Get Products"), with two further tiles reading "Coming Soon!". There is no third-party marketplace connected to inject from, so nothing arrives to fire to KDS or printers. https://docs.unicenta.com/insomnia.json · retrieved 2026-08-09

delivery-menu-push

Product API and WooCommerce sync push products to the operator's own web store only, not to marketplaces. https://unicenta.com/integrations/ · retrieved 2026-08-01

delivery-86-sync

No third-party channels exist to sync item availability to.

delivery-store-pause

No marketplace store-pause capability.

delivery-3p-reconciliation differentiator

No marketplace payout reconciliation report documented.

delivery-injection-error-visibility differentiator

CORRECTED 2026-09-01: the verdict stands, its stated reason did not. This rationale previously read 'Error handling and connection health for the WooCommerce/Order API path are not documented publicly; developer docs are subscriber-gated' -- but this record's own extensibility-public-api-docs cell has been `yes A` since 2026-08-09 on the finding that 'The API reference is public and unauthenticated', citing docs.unicenta.com/insomnia.json. Both sentences cannot be true of the same surface. The one that is true is the narrower one recorded in that cell: the PUBLIC part is the Insomnia collection of 15 customer, order and product requests, while the SUBSCRIBER-GATED part behind unicenta.com/developer-section/ is the developer guides and the database-table reference. What actually leaves this cell unresolved is that neither surface addresses the claim: an Insomnia collection lists methods, paths and example bodies and says nothing about failed or rejected order injections, per-channel connection status or operator-facing failure alerts, and unicenta ships no first-party delivery-channel connector for such a view to belong to. Not re-probed; this is a repair to a wrong reason under an unchanged verdict, taken from evidence already in this file.

delivery-tracking-page

No branded guest tracking page or SMS link documented.

delivery-promise-time differentiator

No dynamic promise-time engine documented.

delivery-offline-behavior

The vendor publishes no offline documentation for delivery; there is no delivery module to document.

digital-first-party-web

Score stands, with a material caveat the dossier omits: WooCommerce integration shipped in 5.4.0 (August 2025), a subscriber-only build. It is unavailable in the free v5.0 community release, so the only 'digital ordering' path costs at least £72/yr on top of the operator building and hosting their own WooCommerce store. https://unicenta.com/support/changelog-unicenta-opos/ · retrieved 2026-08-01 adversarially verified

digital-menu-single-source

Product API/WooCommerce sync lets one product record drive both; modifier, image and price parity are not documented. https://unicenta.com/integrations/ · retrieved 2026-08-01

digital-native-app differentiator

No branded consumer iOS/Android app; tablet use is back-office browser access.

digital-account-saved-payment

Guest accounts with saved addresses and tokenized cards would live in WooCommerce, not the vendor's product.

digital-upsell-engine differentiator

No digital upsell engine or attach-rate reporting documented.

digital-scheduled-pacing

No slot capacity limits or daypart throttling documented.

digital-apple-business-connect

No Apple Business Connect ordering placement documented.

digital-loyalty-attach

No loyalty engine exists to attach to a digital flow.

digital-subscriptions

No guest subscription or membership program documented.

digital-promo-parity

Customer discount % exists in the POS, but no shared promo definition across POS and digital channels.

digital-guest-data-ownership differentiator

Ownership is real and documented: the operator supplies the database server the app connects to ("The most essential setting is that you have a MySQL server installed, set up, and running correctly"), so guest rows sit in the operator's own MySQL instance and need no vendor approval to query. Shortfall: the vendor documents no fee-free bulk guest export. The Customer API's GET /customer is a paid subscription benefit, the database table reference is gated to Plus and Hosted subscribers, the GDPR page routes subject requests to "contact us to request assistance", and consented marketing status is not a documented field. https://unicenta.com/pages/configure-unicenta-opos/ · retrieved 2026-08-07

digital-checkout-pci-sca

No vendor-hosted digital checkout exists; PCI DSS 4.0 script-integrity posture is not published.

digital-surcharge-transparency differentiator

No surcharge or service-fee configuration in POS or digital channels documented.

guest-loyalty-unified-profile

One customer table, reached through a caller-addressed CRUD resource: POST, PUT, DELETE and GET /customer, where the caller supplies the record's own UUID id alongside emailAddress, telephone, mobile, card and searchKey. That caller-supplied id is the entire merge story - identity matching is the integrator's job, not the platform's. Shortfall: the published collection defines no merge, dedup or identity-resolution operation and no lookup-by-phone or lookup-by-email endpoint, so nothing automatic happens on a phone or email match. uniCenta also ships no first-party web/app ordering or kiosk channel whose transactions would need merging; the only documented external order source is WooCommerce. https://docs.unicenta.com/insomnia.json · retrieved 2026-08-09

guest-loyalty-thirdparty-identity-attach differentiator

guest-loyalty-10dlc-registration

No SMS sending capability, therefore no A2P 10DLC handling or documentation.

guest-loyalty-campaign-attribution differentiator

No campaign construct exists to attribute redemptions against.

guest-loyalty-data-export-portability differentiator

Downgraded from yes: the "no vendor fee" leg does not survive. The Customer API is a paid subscription benefit - the Apply page lists "API Access" under BASE (GBP 6 per month charged yearly, GBP 72) and "Unlimited API Access" under PLUS (GBP 144), with HOSTED carrying "API access as standard" - and the published collection's production base-url is the hosted https://api.unicenta.io. What does survive: on a self-hosted install the guest rows sit in the operator's own MySQL server, so a direct dump is self-serve, free and needs no ticket. Further shortfalls: GET /customer returns profile fields only, not transaction history; the database table reference that would document the schema is gated ("This content is available to uniCenta Customer Plus, Hosted, and Hosted Monthly 50% Subscribers only"); and the GDPR help page routes individual rights requests to "contact us to request assistance". No CSV export of the guest list is documented anywhere. https://unicenta.com/apply/ · retrieved 2026-08-09

labor-clock-in-at-pos

Under-scored. The vendor features page explicitly lists employee 'CheckIn/CheckOut' under Personnel, alongside 'iButton/Dallas key' and 'Secure User Logon' authentication, with an 'Employee' report category.

reporting-scheduled-delivery

reporting-public-api differentiator

Re-pointed and corrected. docs.unicenta.com is an Insomnia Documenter v0.4.1 page whose HTML is a JS shell; its collection loads unauthenticated from /insomnia.json (16,791 bytes; sibling guessed paths return the 730-byte shell, so this is a real hit). The export documents 15 requests across three groups - customer (GET/POST/PUT/DELETE plus /customer/status), order (GET/POST/DELETE plus /order/status) and product (GET/POST/PUT/DELETE plus /product/status) - against base URLs https://api.unicenta.io (prod) and https://dev.unicenta.io, with HTTP Basic auth (api-username/api-password) and complete JSON request bodies. Partial, not yes: orders and menu/product are covered but there are no payments, labor or reporting endpoints, no webhooks, no rate limits, and no published self-service route to credentials. The gated developer material - unicenta.com/developer/ now 301s to /developer-section/, which still reads 'This content is available to uniCenta Customer Plus, Hosted, and Hosted Monthly 50% Subscribers only' - is guides and the database-table reference, not the API reference. https://docs.unicenta.com/insomnia.json · retrieved 2026-08-09 adversarially verified

reporting-webhooks differentiator

Previous reasoning withdrawn: the API is not "inbound only" - it publishes reads as well as writes (GET /customer, GET /order, GET /product, plus per-resource /status probes). The absence that actually carries the no is verb-level and structural: across all 14 requests in uniCenta's complete published API export there is no subscription, callback or event resource of any kind, no operation to register a customer-supplied endpoint URL, and therefore nothing that could carry a retry policy or a payload signature. Authentication is HTTP Basic with an api-username/api-password pair, a client-to-server posture only. Order and payment lifecycle changes are discoverable solely by polling GET /order. https://docs.unicenta.com/insomnia.json · retrieved 2026-08-09

reporting-tier-paywall differentiator

Directly contradicted by the vendor's own pricing page: 'Web Reporting' and 'Remote Order Display' are enumerated as BASE (£72/yr) subscription benefits, not free-build capabilities, and the current build itself is subscriber-only. Reporting access is gated by a paid tier even if there is no separate analytics SKU. https://unicenta.com/apply/ · retrieved 2026-08-01 adversarially verified

reporting-history-retention differentiator

No vendor retention statement exists on any reachable page; the database-table reference and reports guides are gated - 'This content is available to uniCenta Customer Plus, Hosted, and Hosted Monthly 50% Subscribers only.' Only the architecture is documented: on a self-hosted install the operator owns the MySQL instance, so no vendor-imposed retention window or archive-retrieval fee applies. Shortfalls: Web Reporting is an enumerated BASE (GBP 72/yr) subscription benefit, not a free-build capability; retention and export on the vendor-run HOSTED tier are undocumented beyond 'daily automated backups'; no report lookback range is published. https://unicenta.com/developer-section/ · retrieved 2026-08-02 adversarially verified

Multi-store and multi-warehouse are first-class, but no named three-level hierarchy that reporting and permissions scope to is documented. https://sourceforge.net/projects/unicentaopos/ · retrieved 2026-08-07

multi-location-central-menu-publish

The Product API is real at endpoint level - POST, PUT, DELETE and GET /product with a caller-supplied UUID id and fields name, reference, barcode, barcodeType, sellPrice, buyPrice, category, tax, stockCost, supplier, printer, uom and visible - so a script can author centrally and write outward. Shortfalls, verified against the endpoints rather than the overview: there is no location, store or site parameter anywhere in the resource (the only query parameter is `device`, a terminal name such as "test-terminal"), so publishing to a chosen set of locations is one HTTP call per install per product, not a single action; and there is no publish, batch or version resource, so no history of what was pushed, when, or by whom. https://docs.unicenta.com/insomnia.json · retrieved 2026-08-09

multi-location-price-zones

multi-location-cross-location-giftcard

Customer store card exists, but cross-location redemption, liability reporting and inter-store settlement are not documented.

multi-location-cross-location-loyalty

Re-grounded off the /api/ page's marketing line ("Synchronise customers across all your uniCenta installs - zero development required!"). What the endpoints actually show is CRUD on /customer with a caller-supplied UUID id against a hosted base-url (https://api.unicenta.io), which is what lets the same profile identifier exist in more than one install - a replication mechanism, and one the integrator drives. Shortfall: the customer payload carries maxDebt and discount but no balance, points or ledger field, and the collection publishes no balance, accrual, redemption or transfer operation, so account and store-card balances stay per-install rows. A shared profile, not one shared live balance. https://docs.unicenta.com/insomnia.json · retrieved 2026-08-09

multi-location-multi-brand differentiator

multi-location-multi-tax-jurisdiction

Configurable tax categories and multiple simultaneous rates exist per the Openbravo lineage; no per-location jurisdiction rule engine or exemption model documented.

multi-location-central-labor-policy

No labor rule engine exists at any scope, so nothing to configure centrally.

hardware-commodity-devices differentiator

FAQ system requirements name the hardware explicitly: "POS Terminal - Touchscreen preferred or a PC - what you've got", running on Windows XP SP3/7/8/10, "Linux - CentOS, Ubuntu, Mint or other" or "Mac OSX - 10.6.8 and later", needing 1024MB RAM, 70MB disk and a Java 1.8 JRE. uniCenta sells no terminal. iPad and Android are reachable only through an RDP client to a host PC, which does not narrow the claim because commodity PCs and Windows tablets run the full app. https://unicenta.com/faqs/ · retrieved 2026-08-07

hardware-os-platforms

Score stands, note is wrong.

hardware-offline-mode

On-premise client and database keep terminals operating offline, but the vendor publishes no statement of which functions degrade.

hardware-kds

hardware-usable-after-churn differentiator

Hardware is the operator's own commodity PC/touchscreen and generic peripherals bought from third parties (FAQ), so there is no vendor-supplied or vendor-keyed device to deactivate. The pricing page adds that 'uniCenta oPOS does not stop working after your subscription expires', and GPL3 on the community build makes that irrevocable. Residual exposure is confined to the vendor-run HOSTED tier, which is a hosting dependency rather than hardware bricking. https://unicenta.com/faqs/ · retrieved 2026-08-02 adversarially verified

extensibility-public-api-docs

The API reference is public and unauthenticated. docs.unicenta.com, linked from the public unicenta.com/api/ page, renders an Insomnia Documenter collection loaded from /insomnia.json - 15 requests across customer, order and product, each with method, path, HTTP Basic auth scheme and an example JSON body, plus prod/dev/local base URLs. No login, partner agreement, NDA or sales call is involved; the page and the JSON both return 200 to an anonymous client. The material behind the 'Customer Plus, Hosted, and Hosted Monthly 50% Subscribers only' gate at unicenta.com/developer-section/ is the developer guides and the database-table reference, which is a documentation shortfall elsewhere but not the API reference this claim is about. https://docs.unicenta.com/insomnia.json · retrieved 2026-08-09 adversarially verified

extensibility-free-sandbox differentiator

The reasoning ('free build is a de facto test environment') collapses once you check versions: the free v5.0 build contains none of the APIs (added in 5.1/5.2/5.3). You cannot exercise a single documented endpoint without paying. No vendor sandbox, no seeded data, no test keys. https://unicenta.com/support/changelog-unicenta-opos/ · retrieved 2026-08-01 adversarially verified

extensibility-oauth-partner-apps

The public API page does not describe an authentication mechanism; detailed developer docs are subscriber-gated.

extensibility-webhooks-push

Stated reasoning withdrawn: "all three documented endpoints push data into uniCenta" is wrong on both counts - uniCenta's published API export holds 14 requests, not three, and four of them are GET reads. What carries the no is that the complete export contains no event, subscription or callback resource at all, and no operation for registering a customer endpoint. There is no published event type for order created, modified, paid, voided or refunded. An integrator's only route to order lifecycle state is polling GET /order (with GET /order/status as a liveness probe), which is exactly the polling the claim asks the platform to replace. https://docs.unicenta.com/insomnia.json · retrieved 2026-08-09

extensibility-webhook-reliability differentiator

No webhooks exist, so no signing, retry, or replayable event log.

extensibility-order-injection-api

POST /order exists and takes an externally originated order - body is products[] (name, priceExcludingTax, amount, tax) plus customerId - so write injection is real, and GET /order and DELETE /order?id= complete the resource. Shortfall, and the overview page gives it away rather than hiding it: the Order API section of unicenta.com/api/ describes connecting "with uniCenta POS layaways", and a layaway is a parked ticket, not a fired one. Nothing in the published collection carries a table, order type, modifier, kitchen-routing or print field, the order object exposes no state or acknowledgement, and no vendor page states that an injected order fires to KDS or printers or lands in reporting. First-class ticket behaviour is asserted nowhere and remains unverified. https://docs.unicenta.com/insomnia.json · retrieved 2026-08-09

extensibility-menu-write-api differentiator

The Product API is real (changelog: 5.3, March 2024) but it is not documented anywhere reachable — docs.unicenta.com returns empty content, and the developer guides plus database-table reference are gated to Plus/Hosted subscribers. Critically, the free community build is v5.0, which predates the Product API entirely, so this is a paywalled-build feature with no published schema, auth method, or error semantics. https://unicenta.com/support/changelog-unicenta-opos/ · retrieved 2026-08-01 adversarially verified

No headless mode; the Order API is a data-insertion path, not a transaction engine a third-party UI drives.

extensibility-data-portability-exit differentiator

Nothing is withheld at exit - the data sits in the operator's own MySQL instance and the software keeps running after a subscription lapses, so there is no vendor hostage step. Shortfall: the claim requires a documented machine-readable format, and uniCenta's own database table reference is subscriber-only ("This content is available to uniCenta Customer Plus, Hosted, and Hosted Monthly 50% Subscribers only"), while the published API collection defines no response schema, pagination or field list. https://unicenta.com/developer-section/unicenta-opos-database-tables/ · retrieved 2026-08-07

reliability-lan-degraded-multi-terminal differentiator

A 'yes' on a weighted differentiator sourced to a SourceForge project page that says nothing about offline or degraded operation. The vendor publishes no offline statement anywhere, and its own FAQ undercuts the architecture story: the MySQL database may be 'Local, Remote or Cloud', the HOSTED tier is cloud-hosted, and iPad/Android terminals are RDP sessions to a host — all of which fail during an outage.

commercial-data-export-self-serve

A documented API export path does exist: the published Insomnia collection defines bulk reads - GET /customer, GET /order and GET /product - under HTTP Basic auth against api.unicenta.io. Shortfall on the fee and format tests: API access is a paid subscription benefit rather than part of the free build, no CSV or spreadsheet export is documented on the reporting or features pages, and the free alternative of querying the operator's own database depends on a table reference gated to Plus and Hosted subscribers. https://docs.unicenta.com/insomnia.json · retrieved 2026-08-07

commercial-export-customer-and-loyalty differentiator

Re-grounded off the /api/ overview onto what actually carries the cell: uniCenta runs against a database the operator supplies - "The most essential setting is that you have a MySQL server installed, set up, and running correctly" - so customer records, on-account and Customer Store Card balances and voucher rows are the operator's own tables, and a SQL or CSV dump needs no vendor step, ticket or approval. The Customer API (GET /customer) is a second route but not the load-bearing one, since it is gated to a paid subscription and returns profile fields only. Caveat on documentation rather than on access: the vendor's database table reference is subscriber-gated, so the field layout must be read off the schema, not off a published manual. The claim asks for machine-readable exportability by the operator, and that holds. https://unicenta.com/pages/configure-unicenta-opos/ · retrieved 2026-08-09
