What each tool sees on its ownShow less
POS Systems on its own
A POS sees the sale at the counter. It only knows who bought when the customer gave a phone number or email for a receipt or loyalty account.
Timing. Many POS systems settle and export transactions in end-of-day batches.
Access. The POS vendor's API where one exists, or a daily export.
Mailchimp on its own
Mailchimp sees who received and clicked. It cannot see what the reader did after landing on the site.
Timing. Mailchimp reports opens and clicks per campaign. Apple Mail Privacy Protection inflates opens, so clicks are the steadier signal.
Access. The Mailchimp Marketing API with an OAuth connection.
