Qdos connects Shopify with the wider retail operation, helping Australian retailers manage products, stock, customers, online orders, fulfilment and reporting across ecommerce and physical stores.
Shopify provides the online storefront. Qdos provides the operational platform behind it, connecting ecommerce with point of sale, inventory, warehouses, customer records, loyalty and accounting integrations.
For how ecommerce fits across the wider Qdos operation, see ecommerce integration.
Products are created and managed in Qdos and published to your Shopify store, and the stock shown online stays in line with your stores and warehouses — so Shopify never becomes a separate stock pool.
Each Shopify order arrives in Qdos with the customer’s details and is handled by the same fulfilment, loyalty, reporting and accounting processes as every other sale.
Stores and online. Customers can buy online and collect in store, return online purchases at any store, and earn the same loyalty in both channels.
Warehouse and 3PL. Shopify orders are handled by the same pick, pack and dispatch process as every other order, from your own warehouse or a 3PL. Warehouse & 3PL
Wholesale and direct-to-consumer. Sell direct on Shopify while trade customers order through Qdos, all from the same stock picture. Wholesale
Wine, spirits and beer. Run Shopify alongside trade customers, trade EDI and the cellar door without a separate stock pool. Wine, spirits & beer
Charity retail brings its own challenges: one-off donated items, a mix of donated and purchased stock, multiple stores, volunteer teams and central reporting. Qdos is built for these networks, and its Shopify integration helps charity retailers sell more donated goods online without running ecommerce as a separate operation. Learn more about Qdos charity retail software.
For unique donated items, Qdos technology partner Shopfront prepares the listing from a photo. Qdos creates the product and publishes it to Shopify, and the item is managed within the charity’s wider retail operation.
