# Authentication We use a static token-based authentication for all the requests made to our system via API calls. You must have already received the token which you would use in staging. This token will not change over a period of time and you can continue to use the same for all the requests. If at any point in time, you feel that the token you have been using has been compromised, please inform `pos.support@urbanpiper.com` immediately and request a new token. The above flow holds good for any single business entity you wish to onboard (with as many stores) through the integration. However, if you wish to onboard any businesses which support a multi-business model (commonly seen with cloud kitchens) please get in touch by sending an email to the aforesaid email id before implementing the integration. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
