Shopify vs Rain POS Comparison

This software integrates very well with ship station, and allows us a snapshot of sales of many different sales tools. The ability to add a great deal of Aps allows for a unique experience for our sales team, and our customers. It's also fairly easy to use

If there is an issue, it can be a long time for customer service to get back to you. The system at times goes through updates, which can really mess up how the entire site works.

Being able to use the platform fairly easily and not have to set up my own independent online shop.

I could not intergrade with my POS that easily.

Shopify has so many options for you to create the best website possible. Most things you can think of, there is already an app available to help you fulfill all of your ideas for creating the best possible online store.

Shopify doesn't really directly integrate with most POS systems, but this is really more the fault of the POS rather than Shopify. It's pricey, but it's worth the money.

Ease of use is great, customer support is good, great brand recognition, quick integration

Does not support all POS systems, third party portals required

I use Vend POS, and it publishes directly into Shopify, and then updates real time inventory, as well as price changes, etc made in Vend. We purchased a theme template, and can make changes easily and quickly, including updating overall design elements.

Their POS software didn't have all of the things I needed in a POS system, but through their blogs I've seen upgrades and updates they have made to that system.

It’s simple from start to finish. One click and you’ve made business!

Maybe an easier way to track purchases made using the POS.

I´m very happy with shopify, very easy to use, very friendly interface

for some features in the POS app you must extra pay

My company is using this software on a daily basis. Very easy to navigate, easy to learn, excellent customer service.

I wish it wasn't that expensive compare to other Retail POS softwares.

Website, Inventory, and POS all in one system. Easily integrates will marketing apps.

Some built in limits on POS system relating to exchanges and returns.

Point Of Sales(POS), an opportunity to sell products offline and free features.

Required a lots of patience, efforts and exprementation

The new json OS2.0 options, integrations & app store, SEO, order tracking, analytics, partner/agency access. The list of pros is very long.

Limited analytics & tracking in less expensive monthly subscriptions, the available separation between store and POS.

Shopify is easy to use, reporting is easy and robust, and it's easy for customers to access and use.

Shopify didn't integrate with our existing POS software, that integrates with our student billing system.

I love the fact that it updates my POS and my website at once

The fact they seem to be removing at least one great feature every time the do an update to try to get us to purchase the top monthly subscription.

Stable, easy to use, good value for money, savings on shipping with Canada Post, POS.

Unable to split payments across different payment methods.

The point of sale system with Shopify has made it extremely easy to manage the bookstore. Everything is clearly inventoried and prices are easy to update.

It would be nice if you could categorize things differently when entering them in the POS.

Shopify provides a platform to create and customize e-commerce websites and web apps faster. There are tons of plugins that can be used to create any powerful shopping site.

Shopify charges a certain amount for POS billing, payments, delivery, and tracking which can get expensive.

Ease of use, expandable functionality, speed, security, continuous improvement, you name it, Shopify has it all, for newbies to enterprise veterans i cannot recommend Shopify enough

Their physical POS hardware app (i.e. a solution for using an ipad as a pos solution) is ok, but needs a lot of work. I think they could add a lot of value to current and new customers be extending functionality and stability here.

I love how easy it is to check out. I love there is a card swiping device too so payments are flawlessly done.

Shopify POS encounters bugs often and sometimes logs out. That has been a frustrating thing a few times.

addition of graphics in POS app to show products is handy and interface looks very nice and clean

laggy, freezes often, card readers are often laggy or particular, as well as back-side stock part of shopify can be confusing and frustrating

This platform is super simple to quickly start an online store. We needed to quickly roll out a small e-commerce section of our website and this was super simple.

The integration with Wordpress isn’t great. We have a busy website, and the integration options out of the box are fiddly

Ease of processing in-house sales with Spotify POS. Also clients appreciated the system and felt safe utilizing it.

Not enough updates taking place. There were at times I felt the system was somewhat lagging.

Shopify sets up easily and the credit card hardware is free! Allowed direct POS activities with our iPhone. Love it!

Was a bit difficult to learn but nothing scary!! Wife loved using it after she learned how to use it!!

I like the interface and ease to follow up and use. The POS retail version is amazing with good support available

This is a bit costly in comparison with other similar software for the same use.

Shopify makes it easy to keep track of clients and their orders, and makes it easy to go paperless

Glitchy, crashes with some frequency, and because it’s wireless, if you’re in a space with mediocre wifi it will be detrimental

I LOVE Shopify. It's so easy in terms of its POS system, but also incorporating content and inventory onto my clients' websites.

There are a ton of features (which is great), but I feel like I never know the most I can do. I wish there were more tutorials or how-to's!
