Shopify POS
One stock count. Every counter, every channel.
We plan, set up and connect Shopify POS for Malaysian retailers, so outlets, the online store and the back office work from one set of products, customers and inventory.
How it flows
- Outlet
- Shopify POS
- Inventory
- Online store
- Reports
The problem
Two systems means two versions of the truth.
When the counter and the website run on different systems, stock is counted twice, customers exist twice, and reports need a spreadsheet to agree. Every new outlet multiplies the reconciliation.
Shopify POS runs in-store selling from the same admin as the online store. Inventory is tracked per location, customer profiles are shared, and orders from every channel land in one place. Our job is to set it up so it matches how your outlets actually operate.

Questions
Asked often.
Can POS and the online store share inventory?
Yes. Shopify tracks inventory per location, so a sale at one outlet reduces that outlet's stock and online availability follows the locations you allow to fulfil online orders.
Can we run mall outlets on Shopify POS?
Yes. Most malls require tenants to submit daily sales for GTO rental; our GTO app sends Shopify POS sales to supported malls automatically.
Which card terminals work in Malaysia?
That depends on the payment provider you use with Shopify in Malaysia. We confirm supported terminals with your provider before you buy hardware.
Do we need POS Pro?
Shopify offers POS Lite with every plan and POS Pro as a per-location subscription with more staff and inventory tools. We recommend one per outlet type after the outlet survey; Shopify lists current pricing on its site.
