CompuTant/POS Highway developed a custom integration between Counterpoint and Shopify, which communicates with the Shopify API. The end-user will need to purchase POS Highway’s SyncApp, along with professional services (setup, data migration, testing, and training).

How do syncing on-hand quantities happen if items are being purchased from both Shopify and our brick-and-mortar store? Do all quantity on-hand amounts move from Shopify to CP or just the sale item quantities where CP subtracts from its on-hand quantities?

The Shopify web store needs to be configured in Counterpoint as another store, let’s call it an “eCommerce” store. Inventory locations can be connected to your brick and mortar store inventory or you can set up a separate inventory location for Shopify. Either way, Shopify – CP sync app will post online and in-store sales/return/inventory transactions to the right location.
