Integrating POS Systems with Websites

The difficulty for anyone who has a bricks and mortar shop along side their online shop, all suffer similar issues, including keeping inventory counts in sync, keeping pricing in sync, and giving customers a cohesive experience both online and in store. 

The primary issue is that not all POS systems integrate with all website ecommerce platforms. So you need to pick solutions that match well.

System Updates

Product Search During Linking

You can now search for a product by name or code when linking it. 

Laybuy Payment Option

We've added a new payment option for Laybuy, that will accept a 6 step payment plan from customers, while paying the business in full (less transaction fees). It has been quite popular. We have also added a new feature to hide certain payment options depending on the size of the transaction, as it doesn't make sense to offer Laybuy on transactions under $30 for example.

Their rates are cheap, and all the value added services can be managed via a web page control panel, so you don't need to wait on hold for any call centers. You can manage your lines fully yourself.

Receive a 25% discount off your web hosting, by referring a friend 

Did you know that if you refer a friend to use our awesome website builder service, you get a 25% discount off your hosting? If you refer 4 friends, then you will essentially get your web hosting for free! Not only that, but your friends will also get their 2nd month web hosting absolutely free. That's a nice little encouragement for them to check our service out and gives us the opportunity to setup your discount. Both discounts apply for your  2nd and subsequent websites also. It doesn't matter if it is yours, a friend, family or a stranger. Discounts begin once both websites are live. Please make sure you or your friend communicates the referral at the earliest opportunity.
