More About Shopify Point of Sale
Like most independent jewelers, e-commerce most likely represents a small part of your sales, and so even though the majority of independents now run Shopify for your website, few will be aware that since 2019 the company has also offered a POS solution for physical stores. The first iteration of the solution, whilst promising, needed a few creases ironing out. Today, 4 years after launch, the solution is rapidly gaining market share - in every other vertical except jewelry. When we spoke to Shopify's sales team, the reasons became clear:
"In most other verticals, we are migrating companies from competitor cloud POS solutions where we have automatic migrations available for them. In jewelry however, the legacy POS solutions are so old that they require manual data migrations, and this is not something we are set up to do"
This is where Loupe comes in. As part of our normal onboarding for any retailer, we work with your vendors to ensure you have 100% of your SKU base loaded ahead of launch on Loupe. In order to do this we have a dedicated, experienced team of data migration analysts who - we realized - could unblock this problem for independent jewelers & Shopify. It all speaks to our vision of modernizing the technology landscape for our customers, so technology is working for them not against them.
For discerning retailers in the USA with larger shop floors, there is also a hand-held device that allows your representatives to close sales right next to the case, without the need to walk the customer over to the desk:
The regular Shopify administration panel will continue to be your back-office administration interface, except now it will serve that function not only for your website, but for your entire store business as well:
The POS application itself is distinct from the back-office administration interface and is optimized for touch-screen devices such as iPad or Android tablets. Here is a short video from Shopify to give you a brief introduction to the POS application:
Loupe is a Shopify Plus partner. We will manage your integration end-to-end and be at your side for the duration of your tenure as a Shopify POS customer.
