Frequently Asked Questions
I'm on Shopify—should I use Shopify POS?
Yes, almost certainly. Shopify POS integrates perfectly with your existing store. Inventory syncs automatically, customers are unified, and you manage everything in one place.
What if I'm on WooCommerce or another platform?
Square integrates with WooCommerce and many platforms. Check if native integration exists. If not, third-party sync tools (like SKU IQ) can connect your POS and e-commerce.
