GetJewelryPOS vs Shopify POS
Shopify POS is the in-store side of a strong e-commerce platform, and jewelers who sell a lot online often start there. GetJewelryPOS starts from the counter: repair job sheets, layaway, gold pricing by weight and karat, old gold exchange and certificate fields are built in, and an online store is generated from your catalogue. Here is how the two compare.
Lot A
GetJewelryPOS
From $69/mo per shop
Choose GetJewelryPOS if most of your sales happen at the counter, you price gold by weight and karat, run a repair bench, sell on instalments, or buy back old gold, and you want those features without adding apps. It also fits UAE and Pakistan shops.
Lot B
Shopify POS
Choose Shopify POS if online sales are the center of your business, you want a large theme and app marketplace, and you are happy to add apps for repairs or layaway. Its e-commerce tools, checkout and marketing features are deep.
