The Dispatch

The plumbing behind the checkout

Every retailer who has ever switched point-of-sale systems knows the quiet dread: what happens to years of sales history, product catalogs and customer records? LinkToAny built a company on making that dread disappear.

Formerly known as ShoppinPal, the Los Angeles-based firm rebranded in 2023 to a name that is also its job description - link any app to any other. It is an integration platform in the mold of an iPaaS (integration platform as a service), aimed squarely at the retail, food and hospitality ecosystem. Where a store or a restaurant runs a tangle of specialized software - a POS, an online ordering system, an accounting package, a loyalty program - LinkToAny is the connective tissue that keeps them in sync.

The company does not usually sell to the corner store. It sells to the platforms the corner store already trusts. Its customers are software application providers and ISVs - the likes of Clover, Intuit, GoDaddy, Shopify, Lightspeed and PayPal - who embed LinkToAny's onboarding and integration tools inside their own products. The result is invisible to most merchants, which is exactly the point. Good infrastructure is the kind nobody has to think about.

Three things sit at the core of the offering: onboarding new merchants onto a platform, migrating a merchant's historical data when they switch systems, and maintaining the connectors that keep everything talking over time. That last part - maintenance - is the unglamorous work most software vendors would rather not own. LinkToAny owns it.

"Build the largest, most affordable portfolio of intelligent integrations across B2B cloud systems."

The Work

What it does, and for whom

The problem it solves

Commerce has fragmented into dozens of specialized apps. Every new merchant means mapping data between systems, and every system switch risks losing history. That friction slows platforms down and stalls revenue.

Who uses it

Software platforms, ISVs and enterprises - Clover, Intuit, GoDaddy, Shopify, Lightspeed, PayPal - whose own customers are SMB retailers, restaurants and hospitality operators.

How it's different

LinkToAny leans open and affordable, pairs a maintained connector library with hands-on data-ops services, and is rebuilding onboarding and migration as an AI-native workflow rather than a manual project.

The Business

How it makes money, and where it fits

Business model

B2B SaaS / iPaaS. LinkToAny sells to platforms and ISVs rather than individual merchants, monetizing through usage-based pricing plus services for custom builds, migrations and managed data operations. Integrations are frequently embedded into partners' products and distributed via marketplaces.

Where it sits in the market

It plays in the integration and iPaaS space alongside the likes of Celigo, Workato, Tray.io, Merge and Alloy Automation - but narrows in on commerce, POS and hospitality, where domain-specific connectors and migration know-how are the moat.

The People
