Setting up the unTill integration is somewhat of a daunting task. Luckily, you only have to do this one time and we’ll take you through all the necessary steps.
💡 Please note: Reservations are synchronized every minute between Formitable and unTill. If you move a receipt in unTill it might take a little while before you see the change in Formitable.
Prepare your unTill cash register
To set up in the integration you need to get in touch with your unTill supplier. They need to adjust your cash register for the integration to work. A TPAPI license (€ 295) is also needed, you may already have it though.
Ask your unTill supplier to provide you with the following information:
-
A TPAPI server endpoint and port (i.e. http://api.untill.com:3063). The cash register must be accessible via the internet.
-
A username and password.
-
Relevant article numbers for tickets and prepayments to make the connection between Formitable and unTill work.
📌 The articles must be created in the relevant sales areas. For all articles select the ‘Voucher/Coupon’ product group and 0% VAT.
Once your cash register is set up by your supplier you can continue to set up the integration in Formitable.
Finalize the integration in Formitable
In Formitable, you need to enter the technical details of your unTill cash register, choose what we should do automatically for you, and link your tables so reservations end up on the right tables.
💡 You can either fill the technical details yourself or ask your unTill supplier to do this for you. They need access to your Formitable account for this.

-
Match deviation. This is the wiggle room for finding reservations in Formitable. If guests often arrive 15 minutes early or late, use 20 minutes deviation. If it happens that guests appear 30 minutes early or late, choose a higher number like 40 minutes.
Synchronize your tables
If you want to see all your Formitable reservations in your POS, you need to tell the two systems where the reservations need to go.
With the Sync POS tables function at Settings Tables, you can assign a Formitable table to each table in the POS system. We tell you here in detail how this is done.
After you have finalized the integration, you are all set! 🎉
