Shopify POS

Shopify POS (Point of Sale) is a retail checkout system designed for brick-and-mortar sellers that fully integrates with the Shopify e-commerce platform. It allows seamless management of sales, inventory, customers, and staff — both in-store and online — from a single central admin panel.

The system consists of a POS app, which can run on smartphones and tablets, along with integrated hardware such as card readers and barcode scanners.

Benefits of implementing Shopify POS

Unified sales

Manage your entire business—products, payments, customers, inventory—from one place, whether you're selling in-store or online.

Streamlined inventory management

Real-time stock synchronization across all channels minimizes the risk of errors, helps to avoid stock shortages and excess inventory, reducing costs and increasing profitability.

Comprehensive overview of your business

Access to sales data, customer information and detailed inventory reports allows you to make informed decisions and identify trends.

Flexibility and scalability

The mobility of the system (the ability to sell from anywhere in the store or outside it) and the support of multiple locations support business development.
