AuraPOS web backend

The web backend of AuraPOS is a SaaS portal accessible from any browser at https://mon.aurapos.be. It consolidates the data from your AuraPOS desktops and gives you a management dashboard + accounting exports without having to be physically at the register.

Who is it for?

  • Included in Group and Restaurant Group editions (multi-location chains)
  • Optional €24/month or €249/year excl. VAT for single-site editions (Express / Boutique / Studio / Restaurant)

Activate the backend from your AuraPOS desktop

  1. In AuraPOS Windows, go to Settings → License → Web backend
  2. Check "Enable web backend"
  3. A unique token is generated (format 64 hex characters). Copy it.
  4. Go to https://mon.aurapos.be and sign up (free, email + password)
  5. Once logged in, go to My locations → Link a new site and paste the token
  6. Your data starts syncing every 15 minutes (metrics + tickets)

What you can do in the backend

Real-time dashboard

  • Daily revenue excl./incl. VAT, ticket count, average basket, unique customers
  • Top 10 sold products, peak hours of the day
  • 10 latest tickets with direct link to details
  • Comparisons with previous periods (day-1, week-1, month-1)
  • Date picker to analyze any past day

Central management (Group / Restaurant Group)

  • Central product catalog: create a product once, it's pushed to all your sites
  • Central product families: homogeneous structure across the entire chain
  • Central promotions: launch a Happy Hour across all your restaurants in 1 click
  • Global customers + cross-store loyalty: a customer buys €10 at store A → can use their points at store B

Last-Write-Wins synchronization

Every 5 minutes, AuraPOS desktops and the backend sync in both directions. In case of conflict (same product modified on both sides), the most recent version wins. You can create / modify indifferently from the web backend or from any desktop.

Accounting CSV exports

Accessible via Exports in the top nav. CSV UTF-8 BOM format, semicolon separator, decimals with comma — compatible with Excel (European format) + LibreOffice + all main accounting software used in Belgium.

4 available exports:

  1. Sales journal — 1 line per ticket with VAT breakdown (21/12/6/0/other)
  2. VAT recap — condensed by rate for the quarterly declaration
  3. B2B invoices — invoices only with customer identity (VAT intracom, BCE, address)
  4. GDPR customers listing — full register with marketing consent for audit

Date picker with presets: This month / Last month / Quarter / Year. Multi-select sites for Owner and Regional Manager.

Public REST API

If you want to connect AuraPOS to your ERP, e-commerce, or BI tool, the public API is available under /api/v1/* with API key authentication.

5 read-only endpoints:

  • GET /api/v1/produits (scope read:catalogue)
  • GET /api/v1/familles (scope read:catalogue)
  • GET /api/v1/clients (scope read:clients)
  • GET /api/v1/tickets (scope read:tickets) with date filter + withLignes option
  • GET /api/v1/promotions (scope read:promotions)

Authentication: header X-API-Key: ak_xxx.... Generate your keys from Settings → API, select the necessary scopes, copy the key (shown only once).

Rate limit: 60 requests/minute per key. Response headers X-RateLimit-Limit / Remaining / Reset.

Interactive documentation: https://mon.aurapos.be/api/docs (clickable Swagger UI).

Webhooks

To be notified in real time of events (validated ticket, new customer, etc.), create a webhook from Settings → Webhooks. You provide an HTTPS URL, select events to listen to, and receive a HMAC-SHA256 signed POST on each occurrence.

7 supported events:

  • ticket.created / ticket.cancelled
  • client.created / client.updated
  • produit.updated
  • promotion.created / promotion.updated

Security: each POST carries a header X-AuraPOS-Signature: sha256=<hex>. Verify on consumer side with your shared secret to validate it's indeed AuraPOS pushing.

Reliability: automatic exponential retry (1min → 5min → 30min → 2h → 12h, max 5 attempts). History of the last 50 deliveries viewable in the UI.

Typical use cases: team notification on each ticket above a threshold, sync with your emailing solution for new customers, triggering automation workflows, push catalog to your e-commerce platform, feeding a real-time BI dashboard.
