Why this bottleneck matters

Every reward Signet pays is minted on the brand's own system, as a gift card or store credit, and every redemption is proven by the brand's own sales data. No POS connection means no reward rail and no proof that a post drove a sale. Each new POS is about a week of build once the vendor grants API access, and some vendors gate that access behind a partner program.

Decision + next step

Decided Oct 2, 2026: POS integration is required. We knock them out one at a time, in this order. 1) Lightspeed R-Series: Marmalade is waiting on it, the API is open, support offered a 6-month test account, and the gift card docs check out. 2) Shopify custom apps: the branch is written and tested, it needs merging. 3) Toast: apply for partner API access now, build after. 4) Clover: docs spike first, there is no native gift card API. The first step on any new POS is a docs check that gift cards and sales data are really reachable. Two stalled threads to re-engage this month: Shopify. App Store review was suspended Jul 27 for off-platform billing (policy 1.2.1) and the suspension ended Aug 10; the app sits Paused. Pick one path and act: resubmit using the Shopify Billing API, or stay off the App Store and merge the per-brand custom-apps branch from Jul 21, then create a custom app for each Shopify brand. Owner: Chase decides, Ryan merges. Text automation. ClickSend toll-free verification for 1-833-829-2179 (account 712930) has been silent since Chase sent the opt-in screenshot on Aug 14. Until the carriers approve it, approval texts and drop-card texts risk being filtered. A follow-up to ClickSend support is drafted in Gmail; send it and chase weekly.

POS systems ranked by popularity

Two lists in one table. Rows tagged POS are in-store systems, share from 6sense (2026). Rows tagged web are online store platforms, share of named ecommerce platforms from HTTP Archive (May 2026). The two shares use different math, so compare within a tag, not across. Use the filters to rank one category on its own. The Status column is yours to type in; it saves with the board so Thomas sees it too. Build order decided Oct 2, 2026: Lightspeed R-Series (Marmalade), then Shopify custom apps, Toast, Clover.

Shopify POS is flagged because the data source counts tools it can detect on public websites, and Shopify POS runs in-store, bundled into a Shopify plan. Shopify has about 4.6 to 4.8 million merchants overall, so real POS usage is almost certainly higher than 0.8%, but Shopify does not publish a POS-only count. Over 200 POS products are tracked, so the POS list covers the top 22. The online store list covers the top 13 platforms by site count; Shopify has a much bigger share of sales volume than of site count. Enterprise systems like Oracle MICROS and SAP serve big chains but show up less in business-count data.
