Is there a better option than Shopify POS? We need a solution that allows pay per ship using a strong POS solution feeding into our shopify backend. Another important requirement is we need to stay using Shopify Payments as our payment gateway.
Shopify Payments as a requirement pretty much keeps you tethered to Shopify POS… You are free to utilize a second POS system, but you’d be splitting the backend.
I had the exact same headache. We wanted better POS functionality but didn’t want to lose Shopify as the single source of truth for everything.
We ended up trying ConnectPOS, honestly just stumbled on it in the Shopify App Store while looking for alternatives. It plugs directly into your Shopify backend, so orders, inventory, customers all stay synced in one place. No splitting data between two systems, which was the dealbreaker for us.
