What do I need before starting?

• The computer where BDP is installed must be turned on and running BDP.
• You need access to that computer to install the program. If you are not physically at the venue, you can ask someone there to give you remote access with AnyDesk or TeamViewer - these are free programs that let you see and control the computer from another location.
• Have the BDP username and password and the export profile number handy (if you do not have them, ask your BDP reseller or technician), as well as the haddock authentication code (you will find it in the haddock web app, under Settings > My integrations > BDP Connector).

💡 Tip: If you do not have all the details or do not feel confident doing the installation, the easiest option is to send everything to your BDP reseller or technician. Share the PDF guide and the haddock authentication code with them - they will be able to do the installation and setup remotely without you having to handle anything technical.

Step 1 - Download and install

1. On the computer where BDP is installed, download the haddock Connector installer.
2. Open the downloaded file. If Windows asks for permission (Windows protection screen), click "More info" and then "Run anyway".

3. Follow the installer steps:

• Welcome screen:

• Select the destination folder:

• Make sure the "Create a desktop shortcut" option is checked.

• Review the summary and click "Install".

4. When installation finishes, make sure "Launch haddock Conector" is checked and click "Finish". The program will open automatically.

Step 2 - Configuration

When the program opens, you will see a screen with several fields to fill in:

1. POS System:

Select BDP from the drop-down menu.

2. BDP connection details:

• Login: The user name BDP uses for the connection. Ask your BDP reseller or technician for it (for example haddock_api).
• Password: The password for that user (for example ********).
• Export Profile Number: A number that indicates which data BDP exports. Your BDP reseller or technician will provide it (for example 123).
• Advanced settings: Expanding this option lets you configure the port (default 5555) and other additional settings.

3. haddock Authentication:

• Authentication Code: Go to the haddock web app, open Settings > My integrations > BDP Connector, and copy the 10-digit code shown there (for example G2807V6VJY). Paste it into this field.

4. Sync Settings & Dates:

• Sync interval: How often sales will be sent to haddock, in minutes. You can leave the default value (30 minutes).
• Sync Dates (Start / End): The period from which you want to import sales history. By default, it retrieves the last year of history.

Step 3 - Connect

Click the blue "Connect" button. The program will automatically check that everything is correct. You will see a list of several items - when all of them are green, the connection is ready and sales will start syncing.

How do I know it is working?

Once connected, you will see the status panel with real-time information: when the last sales sync happened, how many syncs have been completed, and a log of recent activity. If you want to sync right away without waiting, press "Sync Now".

Day-to-day use

• The program runs in the background - you do not need to keep it open. When you close the window, it minimizes to the notification area (bottom right of the Windows desktop) and keeps working.
• To open it again, click the icon in the notification area.
• It updates and restarts itself if there is any problem - you do not need to worry about anything.

❓ Frequently asked questions

I do not see sales in haddock after connecting

Wait a few minutes - the first sync can take a while if there is a lot of history. You can press "Sync Now" in the status panel to force it.

The program gives me an error when connecting

Make sure BDP is open and running on that computer. If the error mentions port 5555, try opening http://localhost:5555 in the browser on the same machine - if nothing loads, contact your BDP reseller so they can check the API configuration.

I do not have the username, password, or export profile number

Ask your BDP reseller or technician for them. They manage this data and must provide it to you.

The haddock authentication code does not work

Go to the haddock web app (Settings > My integrations > BDP Connector) and generate a new one. Codes expire if they are not used.

The program has stopped syncing

Check that the POS computer is powered on and that BDP is still running. If the issue persists, contact haddock support chat.

Integrations may include additional costs not covered by haddock.
