Free Shopify POS Integration — HitPay Inventory Sync

Say goodbye to manual inventory updates with our free Shopify POS integration.

Shopify is a popular e-commerce platform with inbuilt payment solutions — Shopify Payments and Shopify POS. However, support is limited in many countries, including Singapore and Malaysia.

For countries not fully supported by Shopify's point of sale system (POS), we've built a free workaround that can be integrated into Shopify in just minutes. Shopify sellers will be able to automatically sync their inventory across sales channels, and access a more extensive range of payment methods. Read on!

First, what is Shopify Payments and Shopify POS?

Shopify Payments is Shopify’s own payment gateway solution, allowing e-commerce merchants to pay via debit/credit card, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. It’s included in all Shopify subscription plans, with varying costs based on the type of plan.

Meanwhile, Shopify POS is for merchants with a physical storefront or pop-up store — helping them accept payments, process orders, and manage inventory on their iOS or Android device.

Pros of using Shopify POS:

✅ Inbuilt POS system for your Shopify store. If your store is in a country that supports using Shopify Payments with Shopify POS, this can be the easiest solution to implement. However, this list currently doesn't include Singapore, Malaysia, and other countries in Asia.

Cons of using Shopify POS:

❌ You cannot use Shopify Payments with the Shopify POS app in certain countries. Currently, the supported countries are Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Netherlands, New Zealand, Spain, the UK, and the US. If your country isn't on the list, you’ll need an external payment provider to accept Shopify POS payments.

❌ Cannot sync inventory with sales from non-Shopify card readers and sales channels. You need to manually track and update inventory listings when you sell from non-Shopify card readers and other sales channels. This can lead to more time spent on accounting instead of growing your business.

❌ Limited payment methods. Shopify supports Visa/Mastercard, AMEX, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Shop Pay. However, it doesn't support local payment methods, like PayNow QR, FPX, Buy Now Pay Later, and GrabPay.
