talech API
talech is a cloud point-of-sale platform owned by U.S. Bank and operated through Elavon, serving restaurants, retail, and service businesses with order management, inventory, employee timecards, reporting, online ordering, appointment booking, customer tracking, and gift cards. An unofficial API lets you programmatically pull orders, transactions, inventory items, employees, customers, and sales analytics—and push updates like new orders, menu items, and discounts back into talech.
What is talech?
talech is a cloud point-of-sale platform owned by U.S. Bank and operated through its Elavon subsidiary. It runs on iPad and Android devices and serves restaurants, retail shops, and service businesses, turning a payment terminal into a full suite of business-management tools. Merchants use talech to ring up orders, manage inventory, track employees and hours, run reporting and analytics, take online orders through an integrated microsite, book appointments, and capture customer and loyalty data—across newer offerings like talech Register and the talech Terminal.
Core product areas include:
- Order Management (order and ticket creation, discounts, returns, and exchanges)
- Inventory Management (catalog, stock tracking, and low-stock alerts)
- Employee Management (staff access and timecards/hours worked)
- Reporting & Analytics (customer purchases, peak sales cycles, actionable insights)
- Online Ordering microsite and Appointment Scheduling / booking
- Customer Tracking, Gift Cards, and payment processing through Elavon
Common data entities:
- Orders, Tickets, Line Items, Modifiers, Discounts
- Items, Categories, Stock Levels, Price Lists
- Transactions, Refunds, Tips, Gift Cards, Settlement
- Customers, Loyalty Profiles, Purchase History
- Employees, Timecards, Locations, Registers
The talech Integration Challenge
Merchants run their daily operations on talech, but the data lives behind a tablet app and a merchant dashboard rather than an open developer surface:
- No public API: talech does not publish a general-purpose API—programmatic access is gated behind the WorksWith Elavon ecosystem and a partner developer portal that requires approval
- Mobile-and-dashboard data: orders, inventory, and transactions are designed for the iPad/Android app and the web dashboard, not headless automation
- Acquisition and rebranding: talech is owned by U.S. Bank and operated through Elavon, so surfaces, branding, and packaging (talech Register, talech Terminal) shift over time
- Payment-processor coupling: sales data is intertwined with Elavon settlement, so reconciling POS orders against funded transactions requires careful matching
- Multi-location spread: orders, employees, and inventory are scoped per location and register, with no single export across the whole footprint
- Manual exports: operators are left with CSV downloads and QuickBooks sync rather than a real-time programmatic feed of their own data
