There are unique challenges involved when running a physical store side-by-side with an eCommerce website. It can be difficult to synchronize inventory across online and offline sales, and inconvenient to manage separate payment systems for a brick-and-mortar store and an online store — but if you have the right eCommerce platform, POS (Point of Sale) setup, and a payment provider that supports both, it can be easy.

Retailers who sell both online and in person can streamline their business by using a POS system that connects with their eCommerce platform. 3dcart is a great example, as the platform includes a POS module that automatically synchronizes customers and inventory across both offline and online channels. 3dcart POS includes all the necessary features for smoothing your operations between brick-and-mortar and online retail, and recently we've upgraded it for compatibility with Stripe Terminal, a programmable point-of-sale product aimed at eCommerce businesses and software platforms that want to accept in-store payments.
