Odoo's strength lies in its ability to streamline business processes, and payment management is a crucial aspect of this. Offering customers diverse payment options enhances convenience and can lead to increased sales. For Australian and New Zealand businesses in Retail and Food (Restaurants and Cafes), Tyro is a popular choice for EFTPOS and online payment solutions. Previously, direct integration between Odoo and Tyro was unavailable, but that's changed! Now, Tyro has successfully integrated with the Odoo POS app, making it easier than ever for businesses to leverage its power.
This integration unlocks a range of benefits, allowing for a smoother and more efficient payment process. Here's a breakdown of how to set up Tyro as a payment method in your Odoo POS:
Step 1: Pair Your Tyro Terminal
Before configuring Odoo, you need to gather the necessary details from your Tyro terminal:
- On your Tyro POS system, navigate to the main menu and select "Payment Settings."
- Enter your admin password to access the settings.
- Scroll down to the "Pair with POS" option and click the "+" button.
- Crucially, note down the Merchant ID and Terminal ID generated. You'll need these in the next step!
Step 2: Configure Tyro in Odoo
Now that you have your Tyro credentials, let's configure Odoo:
- First, you'll need to download the "POS Tyro Module" from the Odoo Apps store.
- Navigate to Point of Sale > Configuration > Payment Methods and click "New" to create a new payment method.
- Configure the following settings:
- Journal: Select "Bank" (or your relevant bank journal).
- Integration: Choose "Terminal."

- Under the Tyro Setting tab:
- Choose "Production Mode" for a live environment.
- Enter the Merchant ID and Terminal ID you obtained from your Tyro terminal in Step 1.
- You should see a button underneath to pair to the terminal. Click this to ensure proper connectivity.
Step 3: Add Tyro to Your POS Configuration
Finally, you need to enable the Tyro payment method in your POS system:
- Go to POS App > Configuration > Settings.
