Hike vs. Shopify POS
Retailers love Hike POS for its functionality, ease of use and outstanding support. Here are just some of the reasons why retail vendors are switching to Hike.
Why Hike is the better choice
See how Hike compares to Shopify POS across the things that matter most.
No extra credit card fees
Unless you're using Shopify Payments, Shopify POS will charge you an additional 30 cents for every transaction you make. This is on top of the credit-card rate that only decreases with the more expensive plan you purchase. With Hike, not only do you not get billed with any additional transaction fees but you're able to use any of our integrated payment processors or use one of your own.
Available on all devices
Hike is available on all devices giving retailers more options in which to place their POS on. Whilst an iPad is good for portability, your store may need something more fixed, with a bigger screen and as a Mac or PC might be more conducive. What's more is that with Hike's plug-n-play hardware capabilities, the chances are you'll already have what you need.
Customer loyalty rewards
With Hike, you're able to reward your customers with loyalty points - a feature that is not available on Shopify POS. Utilise the loyalty feature as a means of getting customers back into your door more frequently. You can even create your own program where you decide how many points your customers can earn and what sort of rewards they will get.
Detailed retail reports
Having detailed reporting about your business is a great way to not only stay on top of your daily takings but also help you make informed decisions about your store. Hike POS does just that with its completely customisable reporting database that gives users real-time information on products moved, customer purchases and even staff performance.
Multi-store outlets
Looking to grow your business with one or more new outlets? Well with Hike, it's easy. Whether you're considering 1 or 100 new stores Hike makes navigating between all your outlets is a breeze. Moreover, you will be able to issue stock transfers between locations, and have your inventories automatically adjusted, gaining full transparent reporting on how well all your outlets are performing.
