Interfaces are created to connect the r_keeper system with other systems (for example, with a credit card authorization acquirer server, PDS card server, hotel system Shelter, etc.).
Objects that have the Interface field in their properties can be linked with other programs.
Creating an interface using the example of connecting r_keeper with the Beer Dispensing system:
- In the Cash Stations and Devices directory, select the cash server in the tree. On the Devices tab, choose Driver List from the context menu. Select the PVRK interface driver and add it to the Drivers page;
- In the Interfaces directory, create a new interface. In the DLL Library Files properties, select the added driver in the cash server line.
Filling the "Common DLL Name" field is optional. If this field is filled, the driver is automatically added to the cash server in the Interface directory.

Output mode of Non-Fiscal Payments to XML — choose how payments will be transferred when paying an order with any currency at the cash register:
- Write as discount — payments won't appear in XML. The PDS or CRM system won't have information about the amount spent by the guest: no money will be deducted if the card is debit; no bonuses will be accrued if it's a bonus card.
