Free Trial

ShopKeep has very simple, user-friendly, responsive software. ShopKeep's price point is one of the best in the industry with a 14 day free trial (without having to put down a credit card) and $49-$69 per month, per register. Additionally, there are no hidden fees. ShopKeep runs everything from an iPad which syncs all data to the cloud once an internet connection is available. This process keeps everything running, even if there is a power outage.

Inventory System

ShopKeep's inventory system can import and manage large inventories with thousands of SKUs via CSV.  Customer's will receive top-selling items reports instantly and will be able to set up order triggers to alert them when items are running low. Additionally, customers can track costs and profit margins per item and scan those items to their inventory from anywhere with a Bluetooth scanner. Customers can keep up with everything in real-time with ShopKeep's Pocket app. This is an important feature because being able to spot trends and potential issues quickly could save customers money.

Clear Price Rates

ShopKeep offers one clear price rate with no long-term contract, and it doesn't charge maintenance fees, service fees or cancellation fees. ShopKeep's per register price is one of the cheapest in the industry. It also offers 24-7-365 support and a 60-day free ShopKeep expert is available for customers when they sign up.

• Lack of Features
• No Integration

Lack of Features

Many merchants have reported a lack of features, but only when compared to some of the larger providers in the industry. This didn't seem to affect small to medium business owners, but it may be a game changer for larger businesses who rely on a one-stop-shop business model to efficiently manage their business. Additionally, there are some reports of software and hardware glitches, and ShopKeep's POS systems don't support multiple sales tax rates.

No Integration

ShopKeep does not offer online store integration. In the digital age, an online store should be a given.
