The fewest of us can juggle

Øverst på facitlisten står der Integrated Point of Sale (POS). Helt specifikt står der Shopify POS.
With Shopify POS, it is incredibly easy to connect your physical and online store. It's a game changer, to say the least.
Let us explain why.
Centralized sales - all data 1 place
No more expensive integrations
By using Shopify as your provider for both your webshop and POS, you eliminate the need for expensive complex integrations.
Let Shopify be the hub for all your data.
Inventory management
By switching to Shopify's POS, you get real-time inventory updates - ensuring your physical stores are always synchronized with each other and your online store. When the last product flies off the shelf, it is automatically marked as sold out on the online store.
This creates a smooth user experience.
It will no longer be possible to accidentally sell something in your store that has already been promised to an online customer.
The sale - what it’s all about
When it comes to the very practical sales process, you most likely have in-store transactions, online orders, returns, and refunds.
If you're coming from a system where your POS and your webshop are not synchronized, it can quickly become overwhelming.
With Shopify's POS system, you get an overview of all your sales, both physical and online, in one place. And even a well-organized place. Say goodbye to endless spreadsheets and nightly calculations of numbers that still don't add up.
A better customer experience
Synchronized Inventory Management Creates Flexibility for Your Customers
Does a customer in your physical store not have the possibility to take the product home immediately? No problem! With Shopify's POS, you can easily sell the product to the customer in the store, with shipping to their home. The order will automatically be included in your online orders, so your warehouse staff knows what needs to be done. The same applies if a customer is interested in a product that is not available in the store they visit. With Shopify POS, you can easily sell the product from your online inventory and send it to the customer.
No more missing out on sales because the customer doesn't feel like coming back for the product.
Additionally, with a synchronized POS system, you can offer your customers the option to return products purchased in the store via the online store and vice versa.
This is customer convenience at its finest.
Local pickup
Shopify's POS makes it easier than easy to offer your customers the option to pick up their orders at the nearest store. Save money on shipping and create more opportunities to have face time with your customer.
Pop-up stores and conferences
Since Shopify's POS system operates via an iPad—and can even be set up on your iPhone—with a wireless card reader, you can take your store out into the world at any time. From pop-up shops to markets and conferences.
