Where Shopify POS Is Better Today.
We’re newer, and it shows in places. If these matter most to you, Shopify POS is probably the right call.
- One system for your store and the best online checkout there is, with thousands of themes and apps.
- POS Pro is $89 a month per location and adds unlimited staff roles and permissions, in-store inventory and in-store pickup.
- A lower entry price: Grow is $105 a month, and Basic is $39 a month (billed monthly).
- Polished retail hardware and Shopify Payments built in.
- Almost every agency and freelancer already knows Shopify.
Where Nexus Commerce Earns Its Place.
- Commissions built inCommission rules and earnings on Growth, statements and 1099s on Enterprise. Shopify’s pricing page lists no commission feature, so stores add an app.
- Sales pipelines on every planTrack quotes, accounts and deals by stage. Shopify has customer profiles, not a sales pipeline.
- Dealer pricing levels on CoreAccount pricing on the entry plan. On Shopify, full B2B is on Plus, which starts at $2,300 a month.
- Flat price for the whole teamNo per-seat charges and unlimited registers. Shopify Grow includes 5 staff accounts.
- Your choice of processorUse Swipe Aras, Stripe or Square. Shopify adds a 1% fee on Grow when you use a processor other than Shopify Payments.
- Floor Nexus built inIf your customers are flooring, coatings or surface contractors, your catalog can sit inside the quoting tool they already use.
