Shopify POS Pro** - Where I'd start for most shops. If you already sell on Shopify, or you're a physical store with a modest online side, this is one product catalog syncing in real time across the shop floor, your online store, and social channels. 2026 added multi-location pickup (staff can create a pickup order at any enabled location with live inventory shown) and unified orders that mix shipped and pick-up-in-store items.
