Integrations
The Booth Pulse connects to the nine largest sales and payment platforms artists actually use. Every festival card-reader swipe, every online order, every PayPal transfer flows into one unified view of your business.
The Full Picture
We care about four kinds of data from every place you sell: your orders, your inventory, your customer list, and your payments. Here's how each platform stacks up.
| Platform | Orders | Inventory | Customers | Payments | The One-Line Takeaway |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Square | Full | Full | Full | Full | Cleanest all-around fit for booth artists |
| Stripe | Full | Limited | Full | Full | Best payments & reporting; no stock counts |
| Shopify | Limited | Full | Limited | Full | Recent orders by default; older data needs approval |
| Wix Studio | Full | Full | Full | Full | Full data; weak on payout/settlement info |
| WooCommerce | Full | Full | Full | Limited | Full store data; deep payments need an add-on |
| Clover | Limited | Full | Full | Limited | Great data; history in 90-day slices |
| Squarespace | Full | Full | Full | Read-only | Reports on payments but can't move money |
| PayPal | Full | None | Limited | Full | Strong on money; no inventory or customer list |
| Venmo | Limited | None | None | Limited | US-only payment button, not a full data source |
All Nine Providers
You don't have to change how you sell. Keep your Square reader at the booth, your Shopify store online, your PayPal checkout — The Booth Pulse just brings them all together.
Square
POS · Card Reader · Online
The cleanest all-around fit for booth artists. Complete history for orders, inventory, customers, and payments, plus native card-reader support for in-person festival sales.
Stripe
Payments · Card Reader · Financial Reports
The richest set of financial reporting tools of any platform — payouts, balances, refunds, disputes, in-person terminal support. The one gap: Stripe doesn't count stock, so The Booth Pulse tracks your inventory itself.
Shopify
Online Store · E-commerce
If your online store lives on Shopify, we pull orders, inventory, customers, and payments. Only the last 60 days of orders are available by default — older history requires a one-time Shopify approval we handle for you.
Wix Studio
Website Builder · Wix Stores
Full history for all four data types. Weak spot: no built-in view of bank payouts and no card-reader control. Excellent if your business runs from a Wix site.
WooCommerce
WordPress · Self-Hosted Store
Complete store data — orders, inventory, customers — from any WordPress-based WooCommerce store. Payment-level details (payouts, disputes) require the WooPayments add-on. In-person readers are locked to your home country.
Clover
POS Hardware · Card Reader
Rich data and excellent physical hardware support. The catch is history: order and payment records come in 90-day slices, so pulling multiple years takes a series of requests behind the scenes.
Squarespace
Website Builder · Squarespace Commerce
Full order, inventory, and customer data. Important limitation: payments are read-only — we can see transactions and refund records, but we can't charge cards or push refunds through Squarespace itself. Money actually flows through Stripe or PayPal underneath.
PayPal
Payments · Digital Wallet
Strong for orders and payments, with up to three years of history. But PayPal has no inventory tracking and no true customer list — it only knows buyers as they appear on individual transactions. Best paired with a real catalog platform.
Venmo
US-only Payment Button
Venmo is a US-only, USD-only payment method that runs on PayPal's infrastructure. It's a checkout button, not a full data source — no inventory, no customer list, and history is only visible as ordinary PayPal transactions.
Why This Matters
The single most common thing we hear from working artists is: "I know I made some sales at the festival, some on my Shopify store, some through PayPal from an Instagram follower — but I have no idea what the total actually was, or what my real margin is." That is the problem The Booth Pulse's integrations solve.
Every serious artist today lives in a fragmented sales world. You take card payments through Square or Stripe at the booth. You accept PayPal or Venmo from repeat collectors. You run an online store on Shopify or Squarespace or Wix. Sometimes commission clients pay you through one channel, sometimes another. At tax time — or worse, at pricing time — you're staring at five different dashboards trying to reconstruct what happened last season.
Our integrations do that reconstruction automatically. Once you connect a platform to The Booth Pulse, historical data starts flowing in the background and new transactions appear in your dashboard within seconds of happening. The four things we care about — orders, inventory, customers, payments — are pulled from every connected platform and unified into one clean view.
Being honest about scope: we don't currently integrate with Etsy, Instagram Shopping, TikTok Shop, or the built-in checkouts on marketplace sites like Saatchi Art or Artfinder. If your primary sales channel is one of those, you can still track it in The Booth Pulse — just as a manual entry per sale — but the automatic sync isn't there yet. It's on the roadmap.
When you connect a platform, we only request the specific permissions we need — usually read-only access to your orders, inventory, and customer data, plus write access on the platforms we manage inventory for. We never see your login password to any of these services; the connection is handled through the platform's own secure "Connect your account" flow. You can revoke access at any time from within our dashboard or from the platform's own settings. Full technical detail is in our Privacy Policy.
Provider Detail
A short, honest deep-dive on each platform — what you get, what's limited, and what it takes to connect.
Cleanest all-around fit for booth artists
Full history of orders, inventory, customers, and payments — plus direct control of your Square card reader for booth sales. If you already use Square for festivals, this is a near-zero-friction connection.
Going live requires Square's standard business verification (US bank account and tax ID). Bank-payout data can only be viewed on a live connection — not in the practice environment.
Best-in-class financial reporting
The most sophisticated view of the money side of your business — payouts, balances, refunds, disputes, in-person Terminal support, and detailed financial reports. Ideal if you already use Stripe for online sales.
Stripe doesn't count physical stock — that's not what it was built for. The Booth Pulse tracks your inventory quantities natively while Stripe handles the money.
Full store data with two small catches
Real-time sync of your entire product catalog, inventory levels, orders, and payments. If your online storefront is on Shopify, this is the connection that keeps your festival and online worlds in agreement.
By default Shopify only exposes the last 60 days of orders. Older history requires a Shopify approval we handle on your behalf. Customer name, email, and address details need a similar approval on public installations.
Full data, weak on money-flow visibility
Complete access to orders, inventory, customers, and transactions from a Wix Stores site. Real-time updates in both directions.
Wix doesn't expose merchant payout or bank-balance data, so financial reconciliation is a little less detailed than Stripe or Square. No card-reader control either — Wix is online-first.
Full store data; payment depth depends on add-ons
Complete sync of the products, inventory, customers, and orders on any WooCommerce-powered WordPress site. Refunds are fully supported through the connection.
Deep payment features like payouts and dispute management come from the separate WooPayments add-on. In-person card readers, when available, are locked to the merchant's home country — a limit for artists who travel to out-of-state festivals.
Deep POS data with heavy back-fill mechanics
Full access to orders, inventory, customer records, and payment data — plus native support for Clover's ubiquitous POS hardware. Excellent for artists whose primary point of sale is a Clover terminal.
Clover releases order and payment history in 90-day slices. Pulling multiple years of data means a series of chunked requests — nothing you'll see, but it takes a bit longer the first time you connect.
Rich store data, read-only on payments
Full sync of your Squarespace store's orders, inventory, and customer records. Stock adjustments push back to Squarespace when you sell a piece elsewhere.
Squarespace isn't a payment processor — money actually flows through Stripe or PayPal beneath the surface. That means we can report on your transactions but not charge cards or issue refunds through Squarespace directly.
Strong money data; not a full store system
Up to three years of transaction history and detailed money-flow data. If a chunk of your income comes through PayPal — repeat buyers, digital art sales, commissions — this closes the loop.
PayPal has no inventory concept and no persistent customer list — buyers appear only when they transact. Best used as a payments layer paired with a real catalog platform like Square or Shopify.
A checkout option, not a data source
Venmo transactions flow through PayPal's underlying rails and appear alongside your PayPal history. Useful if you accept Venmo from US-based buyers at the booth.
Venmo is US-only, USD-only, and buyer-must-have-the-app. It's an additional payment method, not a system that manages inventory, customers, or catalogs. We include it for completeness because a lot of artists do get paid this way.
