Online trade has been increasing worldwide for years! And as a consumer, you will probably experience it yourself – how often do you buy online per month – and how often do you still buy offline in stationary shops. And, if you currently still mainly buy stationary – how is it with your customers? Do you think these are buying more and more online? If you don’t have a well-functioning online shop yet – wouldn’t a POS system with an online shop be ideal?
Isn’t an online shop a lot of additional effort (to the existing business)?
In my opinion, this objection is only justified if the online shop is run as an additional or additional system in everyday business. Because then you have to do this extra work:
- Creation of articles in the online shop
- Maintenance of the articles in the online shop
- Billing of the articles in the online shop
So it is true that if you also run an online shop, it can be tedious. If you are now wondering whether there is a system for this that does not lead to any additional effort, then take the next 3 minutes and read on here!
This is how an online shop works that is directly integrated in the cash register system …
A cash register system is often the heart of a company, because it is where billing, invoicing, data processing for accounting and much more take place! In my opinion, it is ideal if it can be integrated into the online shop at the same time, because this can offer the following advantages:
- A common login between the POS system and the online shop can be used,
- the articles that are created in the cash register system are automatically offered for sale in the online shop and
- if an article is sold in the online shop, this is automatically offset in the cash register system.
As you can see, the mutual integration saves you a lot of tedious duplication of work!
An example of this is this online shop.

Which basic functions should a good solution bring with it?
The following basic functions should be available:

Which additional functions are very helpful?
Statistical evaluations are helpful in making the right decisions – for example:
- How many items have I sold?
- Which articles are my best sellers?
- Which items are badly selling?

The following statistics are almost even more important so that you can optimize your POS system with the online shop:
