On every launch

Your storefront is sorted. Your shop floor isn't.

Shopify POS is powerful out of the box, but retail runs on the details, roles, receipts, stock and the taps your staff make a hundred times a day.

Two systems, one catalogue

Your online store and till hold different prices, stock and products, so staff reconcile by hand.

Stock that lies

Inventory drifts between web and store, causing oversells online and dead stock out the back.

Every staffer is an admin

Without proper POS roles, casuals can discount, refund and edit orders they should never touch.

Receipts that look unfinished

Default dockets miss your branding, ABN, returns policy or the fields your accountant needs.

The counter fights your staff

Generic tiles mean too many taps for exchanges, custom sales, loyalty or click-and-collect handoffs.

New locations take weeks

Opening a store or pop-up means rebuilding configuration from scratch every single time.

Is this the right fit?

Built for you if

You run both a Shopify store and physical locations
You're opening a first store, pop-up or concession
You operate multiple stores and want one catalogue and consistent setup
You need custom POS tiles, receipts or counter logic
You're on Shopify POS Pro, or ready to upgrade

Probably not for you if

You sell online only with no physical retail
You won't move off a separate legacy till system
You want a bespoke POS built outside the Shopify platform
You run one casual market stall and POS Lite defaults are enough

Map your registers, locations, staff roles, hardware and current gaps.

Roll out to every location and run staff through the new flow.

Support & optimise

Cover the first trading days closely and refine as real use lands.
