the setup process,the point of sale features as well as,some of the other features that come,along with,your shopify subscription,so let's get started,so i've gone ahead and i've signed up,for shopify one thing you should note,about shopify as a compared to other,point of sale software's like square or,lightspeed is that in order to,access,shopify's point of sale software you,have to sign up for one of their,e-commerce plans,those plans range from nine dollars to,299 dollars per month depending on the,size of your business and what you need,from the plan but only through those,e-commerce plans will you get spot,shopify point of sale,from there you also have two,plan options within your point of sale,you can get the light option which is,free with any uh shopify plan or you can,get the pro option which is eighty nine,dollars per month per location on top of,your ecommerce plan,uh the main difference between those two,plans is the pro plan will have a couple,more,um analytics features,and um it also allows for a couple more,checkout features all of which is,enumerated in our shopify point of sale,review,but moving on from that,um,here once you have a signed up for your,shopify account,you will be brought to your home page,where you will be prompted through a,bunch of setup guides,so,you will have a how to start your,shipping video as well there's a whole,library of videos that you may access,and that come up on the screen as you,move through your setup process,so the first thing that you will be,prompted to do is add a product,this will go into

this will help you keep track of your,margin and your profits as you sell,through things,and then all sorts of shipping,information including weight where it's,from where it could be going uh things,along those lines,so then with uh and it you'll be,prompted through all of these,setup guides not a ton of these are,pertinent to the point of sale system,they are more pertinent to setting up,your shopify online store which we also,have a ton of information on on the fit,small business website,so we're going to take a little look at,some of the features,that are accessible to you once

online orders um so you can,manage them right here from your,dashboard you'll have your inventory,library which is going to be,tracking inventory across your sales,channels across different,uh,sales

stored right here,um and additionally with if you do,use a shopify website,every time a customer enters their,information on a shopify website,they will be added to your customer,library,in addition to your customer library you,will also have your finances where you,can look at your,sales your gross profit margin your,earnings your spendings all of this will,be,tracked here live with your

tracked right here which,makes,accounting so much easier,and then another important thing that's,um a huge deal with point of sale,systems is your analytics and reporting,capabilities which shopify has a very,comprehensive analytics and reporting so,not only do you have your finances that,are going to be tracked so you can keep,your own personal,um accounts in line this is a ton of,analytics about your store performance,so you'll have your total sales your,online store sessions as well as a bunch,of other reports that you can add to,your main analytics dashboard,in addition with the shopify shopify,plan you will be sent daily reports,about your,doors your daily performance in your,store,so all of this is built in automatically,to all of these shopify accounts,then if you have any marketing,initiatives there's also a place to,track that here um whether you,are wanting to tracking them on apps or,if you have a marketing,software that you're running you can,track had their performance here which,is great if you're trying to assess,their effectiveness and how they're,working with your customer base,um and then another great thing about,shopify is they make it extremely,easy to,give promotions and manage those,promotions and discounts,both in your online store and in,in-person checkout which we will look at,in just a moment,um here you will also have all of your,apps right accessible on your dashboard,so,that could be if you have a loyalty app,if you have a,um,a marketing app of any kind if you have,downloaded something to your point of,sale system and it is performing in your,store you can track it here and access,it here,um from there,we'll just return to the home screen,real quick another great thing about,shopify that we have highlighted,throughout our article about shopify and,that really makes it stand out as a,point of sale competitor is how,seamlessly it can sync your omnichannel,sales channels um and what i mean by,that is from your inventory to your,analytics to your,point of sale systems home page,to track and maintain your online store,your instagram shop your in-person store,is absolutely seamless with shopify so,let's take a look at those sales,channels,so obviously you'll have your online,store which you will design and set up,and begin selling this comes with all,shopify accounts um unless you choose,the shopify lite plan in which case you,can add the shopify buy button to a,third party website and that buy button,will sync with your,um point of sale and shopify account in,general all the analytics and all the,sales from that buy button,um speaking of the buy button,here's where you can track that sales,channel where you can this and this,again is,a button that says buy that you can,incorporate into third-party websites so,this is shopify's way of saying you can,use our product and use all of the tools,we have on a different platform you,don't have to have a shopify website and,the light plan where you just get the,buy button is 9.99 a month,and also comes with point of sale light,so then if you have a google store if,you have a facebook shop all of those,can be tracked right in your sales,channels but the one that we're going to,really take a deep dive in right now is,the point of sale sales channel so this,is for all of your brick and mortar,sales there is a corresponding,app this is a recommended that you use,this on a tablet device so there's a,corresponding app that has the actual,um place where you can scan your,barcodes and perform transactions but,then here on your dashboard is where you,can manage your point of sale system and,by that i mean,so you have your overview here this will,help you get things set up um,and,get you selling within this app but the,features that we'll be taking a look at,is you can add your staff members give,them a status and that status has,specific,controls things that they can access so,let's say,i am signing up a new person and,adding a new staff member they will have,an individual pin that they can log into,to perf to use our point of sale system,but i don't really want them messing,with my finances analytic marketing or,discounts i don't want them to have,access to those things i could go,through and say this is a their role,employee,and i could restrict their access but,now let's say i'm adding another person,and i want to make their role manager,and i do want them to have access to the,analytics and marketing but not finance,i could restrict the access within that,manager role as well and then as i'm,experiencing turnover and getting new,roles uh introducing new people i can,just assign them roles that have set,access points,um so that's really great and here you,can manage your staff see how much,they're working see,um how well their sales are performing,and all kinds of things like that,here again you can have you can view all,of your locations,and then settings this is where you can,make your custom receipts,add,logos to your point of sale system,there aren't a ton of customizations but,this is where you would be taking care,of those,so as you can see shopify has a an,extremely comprehensive point of sale,system with tons of tools at your,disposal and omnichannel capabilities,that are,second to none,the setup process is seamless and so,well guided just prompts you through,every step you need to go through,and the point of sale capabilities are,extremely helpful and integrate,perfectly with the rest of your shopify,devices,so,um i hope you guys are,enjoyed
