🎉Our Grand Opening is Monday, and we want to make sure Square is the BEST single-solution for seamless in-store and online inventory management…
Equipment
– Square iPad POS stand + Socket Mobile (in-store sales)
– WooCommerce website (online sales)
Our Question
– We think it's best to use Square as our master inventory management "hub" to enter every item from day-zero forward (rather than using WooCommerce's add-new-item functions); and having those items sync with WooCommerce to track/update all sales both online and in-store in realtime...
- Is this (above) a wise sustainable strategy?
- Do any limitations, annoyances, bugs, or missing features come up by using Square to sync inv with WooCommerce (rather than upload inv. to WooCommerce and syncing with Square)?
- What plugin(s) - if any - would we need to create the beautiful harmony between our physical brick-and-mortar store and our online web-store?
EDIT: After doing some more research, unfortunately, it's clear that the huge limitations using Square as a master inventory system won't be realistic to overcome. There's a great article at https://dbdc.us/articles/square-for-woocommerce-integration-review/ explaining how you can only use one variable, you can't track order data, you can't bundle products, there's no dynamic pricing (BOGO, etc.), you can only sync with 1 location etc.
