# BDP - Connect POS

> ✨ **Recommended method:** Use the [BDP Connector](https://support.haddock.app/en/article/bdp-connector-new-and-recommended-1tw9j9s/). It connects to haddock without complications, works in the background, and automatically syncs your POS data to haddock.

> **Legacy direct API connection:** The steps below are for the older BDP API integration. Prefer the BDP Connector unless your technician tells you otherwise.

❗**Important:** [Open a request from the haddock Support Centre](https://web.haddock.app/support) so we can help you connect your BDP POS.

1. Click the **restaurant name** to open the **menu**.

3. Find and select **BDP**.
