Your current POS, inside Ordina
No new till to learn. The order reaches your POS via API, the fiscal receipt is issued by your Italian fiscal device (RT). You change the front-end, not the back-end.
Providers we support
Three integration states: 'Live' (already running in production on at least one of our clients), 'Coming soon' (spec done, integration in progress), 'On request' (we'll do it if you ask, quoted separately).
- Live
Cassa in Cloud
Widespread in Italy, RT included. Mature REST APIs, IT residency, ~€30/month.
- Live
Tilby
Made in Italy, support in Italian. POS + RT in a single system. ~€25–50/month.
- Coming soon
TS Pay
Lottomatica/Italgrob family. Combines payment + till. Finalising the integration.
- Coming soon
iziPOS
Cheap option (€15–30/month) for seasonal and small venues. APIs less documented, longer integration.

Under the hood
What happens when an order arrives
01
Order accepted in the kitchen
Order status → ACCEPTED. Pg_notify('orders') to the POS adapter subscriber.
02
Adapter transforms the payload
From Ordina format (Order + OrderItem) to POS format (e.g. Cassa in Cloud uses a document header plus item rows with product codes).
03
Adapter calls the POS API
Authenticated POST. Idempotency key derived from Order.id to avoid duplicates. Exponential-backoff retry on transient errors.
04
RT issues the receipt
The POS forwards the transaction to the Registratore Telematico (internal or external). Progressive fiscal number + same-day transmission to the tax authority.
RT (Registratore Telematico): how we handle it
Italian law requires every retail sale to be backed by a fiscal receipt issued by a certified RT. Ordina integrates with the main RT providers (Cassa in Cloud, Tilby, TS Pay) — when an order is paid, the adapter passes data to the RT and the receipt is transmitted to the tax authority. If your venue already has an Epson EFR / Custom fiscal printer connected via USB, we have a 'Custom Print' adapter that talks directly to the printer.
