On paper the path is simple: someone sees an ad, visits the site and books. In real life they search twice, read reviews and come back days later on a different phone. Each tool sees only its own piece.

How POS Systems and WooCommerce records line up
POS Systems and WooCommerce both store the customer's email address. askotter lowercases and trims it on both sides before matching, so the same person shows up as one customer across the two tools.
Both tools can hold a phone number. Numbers are normalised to one international format before matching, which catches customers who never gave an email.
Shared between the two: the customer email address and the phone number.
What customer journey mapping uses from each
Customer journey mapping needs the order of events for one person.
From POS Systems that means visit history for loyalty members. From WooCommerce it means each customer's order history.
POS Systems and WooCommerce are on the integration roadmap, so the matching described here starts when that connector ships.
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.
WooCommerce on its own
WooCommerce sees the order and, on recent versions, its source tag. It cannot see ad cost or the visits that did not buy.
Timing. WooCommerce writes each order when it is placed, and recent versions save the order's source and UTM values with it.
Access. The WooCommerce REST API with a read-only key.
