Set up CTGSoft with ImaCash
CTGSoft connects to ImaCash through a sales exchange folder. The provider must prepare a compatible export and confirm the edition, the documents it publishes and how it receives responses.
Prepare the exchange folder
- Ask the provider for a dedicated exchange folder and a compatible sales format. The Windows account running ImaCash needs to open input files with read and write access, delete them after reading and write responses. Do not mix documents or other text files into that folder.
- Open Configuration > Integration and select POS > CTGSoft.
- In Sales, use the folder icon or enter the full path supplied by the administrator. It must be accessible from the ImaCash computer and Windows account; a network drive available to another user may not be available here.
- When closing with changes, click Save in the current panel and use the explicit restart button when required. This connector does not request a SQL server, port or database credentials.
- Saving a path does not check that the folder exists or that files can be read, deleted or written. Confirm the complete exchange with the provider before live use, without testing with customer sales or cash.
Reading sales and responding to the POS
The integration collects available sales files and consumes them during reading. The source must deliver each complete file with the agreed format, date and amount. The query does not recover previously consumed files by date; do not put them back to repeat an operation.
Terminal and salesperson identifiers come from the file. No automatic catalogue of terminals, salespeople, stores or cash drawers is provided; local selections do not restrict which files are consumed from the folder.
With Accept cards disabled, only operations identified as cash by the provider’s format are imported. Enabling it does not establish a bank payment or mixed payments, and this connector does not calculate a card total.
Confirmation attempts to generate an exchange response; the cancellation variant is used when an operation is confirmed as cancelled. Refusal alone does not send that response. Check that the POS has received it: local confirmation does not establish fiscal closure or the physical cash outcome.
The provider must confirm currency, signs, refunds, identifiers and response handling for its edition. This guide does not establish compatibility with every version or physical machine validation.
The historical screenshot shows a Spanish interface, the former Others category and the old save button. The Sales field is empty. Follow this guide for the current setup.
