POS for Clothing Shops: Sell In-Store and Online From One Stock List

How clothing and fashion shops can use one point of sale and one stock list for the shop counter and the online store, so sizes never oversell.

If you run a clothing shop and also sell online, you know the problem: a customer orders a medium online, but the last medium was sold at the counter this morning. Now you have to call, apologise and refund. The fix is simple in principle: the shop and the website should use the same stock list.

Why clothing is harder than other products

One design can come in five sizes and three colours, which means fifteen separate items to track. A paper register or a spreadsheet updated at night cannot keep up when you sell in two places at once. Stock has to be tracked for each size and colour, and it has to update the moment something sells.

What a good POS should do for a clothing shop

Find a product quickly by name and pick the exact size and colour.
Reduce stock for that variant immediately, for both the shop and the online store.
Let each staff member log in with their own PIN, so you know who sold what.
Print or share a receipt for the customer.
Keep the sale in the same order history as your online orders.

Solvexo POS works this way: it shares the exact same inventory and order records as your Solvexo online store, tracks stock per variant, and uses PIN-based staff logins with register sessions. You can also use it on its own if you only sell in person today.

Setting it up

Add each design once, with sizes and colours as variants.
Count your current stock and enter it for every variant.
Create PINs for your staff.
Start selling at the counter. Every sale updates the online store's stock too.

Tip: Do a quick stock count of your fastest-selling sizes once a week. It catches mistakes early and keeps online customers from ordering what you no longer have.

One business, not two

When the counter and the website share stock, orders and customer history, you stop running two businesses side by side. You can see what really sells, reorder the right sizes, and offer online customers the same range your walk-in customers see.
