Overview
Why use the POS as the master source for products?
Simplicity - POS platforms can store all the product info needed to sell online, including descriptions, tags, and images. This means you only need to enter product information once.
Accuracy - POS systems have detailed inventory management and pricing functionality missing on most online store platforms. This is critical for keeping accurate inventory and consistent pricing across platforms.
Flexibility - New products can be easily uploaded directly from POS to your online store. You can also match to existing or imported online products. Basically, you can use the product and merchandising workflow that works best for your business.
This approach saves time and simplifies training. It also allows you to complete your product info before uploading. Side benefit: storing high-quality product information in your POS creates a backup of your product catalog, making your business more resilient.
