Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.8
GPA, above 11 of the 72 other inventory management tools we grade
ConnectPOS is a point-of-sale platform that keeps in-store stock, orders and customers in sync with online stores on Shopify, Magento, BigCommerce, WooCommerce and others. It also sells an inventory module for multiple warehouses, transfers and stock-takes. Plans are priced per register.
To get you started, here are 8 things to know about ConnectPOS, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No store rating is on record, and you have to connect it to an online store and set up registers before it does anything.

The report card
Best for a till that syncs stock with a Shopify or Magento store
ConnectPOS is a cloud till that keeps store stock and orders in step with Shopify, Magento, BigCommerce and WooCommerce shops, and keeps selling when the internet drops. Stock transfers and stock-takes sit on the $89 plan, and every price is per register.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | $39 per register a month on the yearly plan is inside the cheapest quarter of inventory tools, which start at $49. It is per register, though, so each till adds to the bill. |
| Free plan and trial | F | The listing records no free plan and no trial, so the way in is paying. |
| Features | C | Online store sync, offline mode, reports and a stock module. The listing's own gap is that stock transfer, stock-take and multi-source inventory need Premium, and it is a till first with the full inventory product sold apart. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating is on record, and you have to connect it to an online store and set up registers before it does anything. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Kiosks, tablets, phones and desktops through the browser, with Shopify, Magento, BigCommerce, WooCommerce and NetSuite listed. The pages do not name the devices more exactly, and there is no desktop app. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who ConnectPOS is for
- Fits if you have a shop and an online store on the same platform and want one stock count
- Works for stores that have to keep ringing up sales when the internet goes down
Who it is not for
- Pricey if you run several registers, because $39 to $89 is charged for each one, and $10 more on monthly billing
- Watch out: stock transfer, stock-take and multi-source inventory are on the $89 Premium plan only
- Not for you if you want a free plan or trial, as none is recorded in the listing
- Too light for a full inventory system on the cheaper plans, since the inventory product is sold separately
Good to know
Good for
- Retailers with a physical store and an online store on the same platform
- Stores that need to keep selling during internet outages
- Multi-warehouse retailers needing stock transfers
Worth knowing
- Prices are per register; the page does not say per month, so the billing basis should be confirmed.
- Stock transfer, stock-take and multi-source inventory require the Premium plan.
- It is a POS first; the full inventory management product is listed separately.
- Which devices it runs on is described only as kiosks, tablets, smartphones and desktops.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
The plain part of ConnectPOS you could make: inventory and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 45 of the 72 other inventory management tools grade higher. It costs $468 a year.
What you could make
- Inventory and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Scanning barcodes with a phone camera or a scanner.
- Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services.
- It plugs into other products, Shopify, Magento and BigCommerce among them.
What this rests on. ConnectPOS’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
