Unified Retail with
Shopify & Shopify POS

We implement Shopify POS for leading ANZ retailers running physical stores alongside their online business.

Shopify POS is a fully unified retail system that connects inventory, customers, reporting, and payments across every sales channel. No disconnected platforms. No manual syncing. Just one source of truth.

Modernising Retail.

Unified commerce isn't an integration.
It's a single system where inventory, customers, orders and reporting live once and are read everywhere. Someone who buys in Newmarket and returns in Ponsonby is the same customer. The stock that sells online comes off the same pool the floor sells from. No sync job, no lag, no Monday morning reconciliation.

The retail features come built in.
Stock transfers between locations, initiated and received on the shop floor. Cycle counts done on the device instead of the back office. Purchase orders received by barcode scan as stock arrives. Low-stock alerts that fire before you sell out.

Built for the people actually using it.
The POS app was rebuilt in 2026.
Faster cart, quicker customer search, a wired countertop hub replacing years of unreliable Bluetooth. Staff learn it in a shift, then check stock at other stores, sell what's out of stock on the floor, and process exchanges without a manager logging into admin. Shopify POS empowers your retail staff and makes selling easier than ever.

THE PROCESS

Every part of the POS rollout, covered.

Book a demo

From the first store audit to launch-day staff training, the work that makes a POS rollout stick.

POS Implementation

Shopify POS configured and rolled out across your store network, from a single shop to a multi-site retail group.

Inventory Unification

One stock pool across online, retail and wholesale, so what the site shows is what the floor actually has.

Hardware & Payments

Terminals, receipt printers, scanners and payment setup specified, configured and tested before launch day.

Data Migration

Products, customers, loyalty balances, gift cards and sales history moved off your legacy POS with integrity checks.

Staff Training

Your retail team trained on the workflows they'll actually use, so launch day doesn't cost you a trading day.

Retail Reporting

Store, staff and channel performance in one place, so retail and online can be compared on the same terms.

Our POS implementation approach

To ensure a smooth transition to Shopify POS, Atlas Studios follows a structured rollout covering discovery, data mapping, configuration, migration, testing and launch.
Each phase is designed so inventory maps accurately, retail workflows match how your stores actually trade, no data is lost and your team is confident from the first transaction.

POS ROLLOUT

We start on the floor. How many locations, how you trade, what hardware exists, where stock actually sits, and which systems have to keep talking.
Retail rollouts fail on the details nobody documented, so we document them before anything is configured.

Products, variants, barcodes, customers, loyalty balances, gift card balances and price lists mapped from your existing system to Shopify's structure.
This is where most POS migrations quietly break. A barcode field that doesn't match is a queue on launch morning.

Locations, staff permissions, registers, receipt templates, payment methods and tax settings configured to how your stores actually operate.
Then hardware is specified, ordered and tested, not unboxed the day before launch.

Historical sales, customer records, gift card balances and loyalty balances moved with integrity checks at each step, so trading history and customer relationships survive the switch. Nobody should lose their points because you changed systems.

Full testing across various transaction types, return and exchange scenarios & more.
Your retail team trained on the workflows they'll use daily, so the first customer on launch day is served exactly like any other.

Elevated in-store experiences.

Modern retail needs flexibility. Shopify POS lets your team serve customers anywhere in the store while keeping full visibility across inventory, orders and customer history.

  • Buy online, pick up in store (BOPIS)
  • Endless aisle when stock runs out on the floor
  • Buy online, return or exchange in store
  • Gift cards that work online and in store seamlessly
  • Mobile checkout anywhere on the shop floor & more
The Atlas Studios Experience

What clients get from this.

Learn more

A launch day that feels like an ordinary trading day. Unknowns found in discovery, data migrated accurately, staff ready before the doors open.

Accurate Stock

One inventory pool across every channel, so overselling and apology emails stop being a weekly event.

One Customer View

Purchase history that follows the customer between the shop floor and the website, in both directions.

Time Back

The monthly reconciliation between retail and online stops existing, because there's only one system.

Faster Service

Mobile checkout and endless aisle let staff close sales on the floor instead of losing them to a queue.

Retention That Includes Retail

In-store customers flow into Klaviyo, so retention marketing finally reaches people who buy in person.

Confident Staff

Teams trained before launch, on workflows built around how your stores actually trade.

QUESTIONS?

We have answers.

Can Shopify POS replace our existing retail system?

For most specialty and multi-store retailers, yes.
Shopify POS handles registers, staff permissions, stock transfers, returns and exchanges natively.
Where it needs support is for highly specialised requirements such as complex servicing, rentals or deep loyalty rules. If so, we identify these early and prepare a solution before committing to a rollout.

Can customers who buy in store be added to our email marketing?

Yes, and this is where most retailers leave money on the table.
Shopify POS captures customer details at the till and feeds them into Klaviyo alongside online customers, so retention flows can include people who have only ever bought in person.

Does Shopify POS work for multi-store retail in New Zealand and Australia?

Yes.
Shopify POS supports multiple locations, local payment methods and multi-currency selling through Shopify Markets, which suits brands trading on both sides of the Tasman. We run rollouts across ANZ from Auckland and can support with in-person training.

What is unified commerce, and how is it different from omnichannel?

Omnichannel means a customer can buy through several channels.
Unified commerce means those channels run on one system.
A single inventory pool, one customer record and one set of reporting. The practical difference is that omnichannel setups still reconcile between systems; unified commerce has nothing to reconcile.

Which Shopify agency specialises in unified commerce and POS?

Atlas Studios is a Shopify Plus Partner based in Auckland, specialising in unified commerce.
We connect Shopify POS and online storefronts into one system for retailers across New Zealand and Australia. Most Shopify agencies build online only and leave retail to a separate vendor.

Will our sales history and loyalty balances transfer?

Yes.
Customer records, purchase history and loyalty balances migrate with integrity checks at each step. Losing a customer's history because you changed systems should never be the case.

How long does a Shopify POS rollout take?

A single-store implementation can take weeks rather than months; a multi-site rollout depends mostly on data complexity and how many systems need to keep talking.
The store audit produces the timeline and we'd rather give you an accurate date than an optimistic one.
