Learn how Shopify POS delivers in-store shipping with Unified Commerce enables and seamlessly combines online & offline sales.
Customers today expect maximum flexibility when making a purchase. If a product isn't available in a store, the sale still shouldn't fail. This is exactly where Shopify comes in Unified commerce to: a central system that connects store, warehouse, online shop and checkout. Shopify POS is the key to seamlessly combining online and offline sales and meeting customer expectations.
Unified commerce goes beyond traditional omnichannel retail. While omnichannel often only looks at different sales channels side by side, unified commerce ensures that all systems are connected together. Products, inventories, customer data and the shopping cart are Uniformly managed via online shop and Shopify POS.
For retailers, this means in concrete terms: Brick-and-mortar retail works technically like another sales channel and not like a separate cash register system. In this way, inventories can be managed centrally, prices can be kept consistent and customers can be served without interruptions in the buying process.
Shopify officially names the feature “Shipping orders to customers with Shopify POS.”
At the checkout, everything is as usual: Products are entered in the POS, the shopping cart is marked as a shipping order, the delivery address is recorded on site in the shop and the customer can pay directly. The order is then automatically assigned to the standard warehouse, created as a shipping order and ends up as an order in the Shopify admin. From there, it can be executed directly or via an ERP system. For the customer, the purchase feels like normal shopping on site — only without a bag.
Not every store needs Shopify POS Pro. For small shops or sole proprietors, the included lite version is often sufficient. This saves you the additional monthly fees per location. However, retailers in the DACH region should comply with the obligation to fiscalization/TSE. Here, the printed document must be adjusted, a feature that is only available in the POS Pro plan.
Use Shopify Payments to bundle all card providers in one contract. So you only have one bill and can use services such as
Instead of buying expensive complete sets, it is always important to adapt the setup to the store's requirements. Not every shop necessarily needs an expensive receipt printer. Here, Shopify already offers the option of sending receipts via email or SMS. There are also various card terminals, as a budget version and as a high-end device with an integrated letter display. Plan the Shopify POS hardware costs realistically — especially if you need multiple registers.
The integration of online checkout and Shopify POS ensures that purchase processes are seamlessly intertwined.
Using Shopify POS shipping orders brings measurable benefits for retailers:
In short: Unified Commerce reduces complexity and increases turnover, while Shopify POS serves as the heart of the system.
For customers, the buying process is much more pleasant: No more explanations, no futile searches on site, no “please order online.” A purchase, an experience — whether in-store or online. The flexibility between online shop and stationary retail meets the expectations of modern customers exactly.
