Hike vs. Shopkeep
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 ShopKeep across the things that matter most.
A global POS system
In providing POS support to retailers in over 65 countries, Hike has embraced a globally diverse and rich retail industry to help businesses grow. With ShopKeep only providing support to their customers in the US and Canada, Hike supports businesses wherever they are in the world. A merchant in New York can open a second outlet in Sydney using Hike, integrating each outlet to separate accounting platforms!
Anytime, anywhere: 24-hour live chat support
Included in our robust support service, is our 24-hour live chat support service, who are more than happy to help you with all your Hike POS questions. This is in addition to our extensive support material, from set-up guides and video tutorials. Our entire support portal and live chat is free to use, even if you're a trial customer and just looking to get some initial help.
Dedicated to retail
Developed by retailers, for retailers, Hike has garnered praise from our users for focusing our core efforts on creating the best retail POS system available. Rather than waste resources on trying to be multiple things at once - and dilute the quality of the product - we're committed to servicing the retail industry first and foremost.
Make better, informed business decisions
With a wide scope of reporting features available to users, Hike has ensured that retailers are gaining the best in reporting capabilities. Take advantage of real-time information on everything from stock levels, to customer transactions to even staff performance. It's completely customizable too meaning you can set the parameters of what specifically you want to learn.
Go omnichannel
Expand your audience by connecting your online and in-store sales under one, economical retail solution with Hike POS as we've partnered with leading e-Commerce platforms, including BigCommerce and Shopify to help grow your business. Users can now also connect each individual outlet they have with a separate eCommerce store!
Works on any device
Shopkeep's POS is only accessible with an iPad, whereas 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 to that.
