Loyverse

Loyverse is a free point of sale (POS) platform for small and independent retail stores, cafes, bars, and restaurants, spanning the Loyverse POS app, Back Office dashboard, Kitchen Display, and Customer Display. The Loyverse API is a documented REST API at https://api.loyverse.com/v1.0 that exposes the same POS data - items and variants, categories, receipts (sales), customers and loyalty, inventory levels, stores, employees, payment types, taxes, discounts, modifiers, suppliers, POS devices, and shifts - so developers can build integrations for accounting, e-commerce order sync, inventory synchronization, loyalty and marketing, e-invoicing compliance, and custom reporting. Authentication is by personal access token (Bearer) or OAuth 2.0 authorization-code flow with scoped permissions, and webhooks push events such as receipts and inventory changes to consumer endpoints.

agent ready

Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Loyverse the way a machine reads it — 21 machine-readable artifacts across 15 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Loyverse scores 38.7/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 48/100 (agent ready). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Loyverse

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Loyverse. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 15

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Loyverse Categories API

Merchandising categories for items.

Loyverse Customers API

Customer directory and loyalty program.

Loyverse Discounts API

Discount definitions applied at the POS.

Loyverse Employees API

Employees who operate the POS.

Loyverse Inventory API

Stock levels per variant and store.

Loyverse Items API

Product catalog items, variants, SKUs, and pricing.

Loyverse Merchants API

Merchant account information.

Loyverse Modifiers API

Item modifiers and options.

Loyverse Payment Types API

Configured payment types.

Loyverse POS Devices API

Registered POS devices per store.

Loyverse Receipts API

Sales receipts with line items, payments, taxes, and refunds.

Loyverse Shifts API

Cash register shifts.

Loyverse Stores API

Merchant stores (locations).

Loyverse Suppliers API

Suppliers for inventory and purchasing.

Loyverse Taxes API

Tax definitions applied to items.

Open Collections 1

Open, tool-agnostic collections carry the same runnable value as Postman without locking you to one client — the portable, forkable form of the same exercise.

Open, tool-agnostic API collections (OpenAPI-derived and Bruno).

OPEN COLLECTION

Pricing Plans 1

Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.

Published pricing tiers and plan structures.

Rate Limits 1

Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.

Documented rate limits and quota policies.

FinOps 1

Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.

Cost, billing, and metering signals for API financial operations.

Security Posture 1

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

Agentic Access 1

An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.

Recommended x-agentic-access execution contracts for AI agents.
