Switching POS

From Shopify POS to scango.ch

You sell in store with Shopify POS and want a counter or self-checkout with its own stock? Export your products as CSV, and we import them for you at the start.

Step by step

How your data gets from Shopify POS to scango.ch

  1. 1

    Export your products

    In the Shopify admin go to “Products” and click “Export”. The CSV file downloads directly or, for many products, arrives by email.

  2. 2

    Send or upload the file

    At the start we import your product data once for you and check it for plausibility. Or you upload the file yourself in the dashboard under Products → Import.

  3. 3

    Review and confirm

    Columns such as barcode, price or category are mapped automatically. You see every row before anything is saved.

  4. 4

    Plug in the checkout

    Your checkout arrives preconfigured. Range, prices and stock are already in it.

What comes along

  • Title and category
  • SKU and barcode
  • Price and cost per item
  • Vendor as supplier
  • Inventory quantity

What to keep in mind

  • The file has no VAT rate: you choose the rate for all rows during the import and adjust single products afterwards.
  • Images are not in the export. The gift card export shows only the last four characters of each code; you create open balances again in scango.ch.
Vouchers and discounts

What about vouchers, customer cards and discount codes?

Before you switch, get a list of your open vouchers and discount campaigns from Shopify POS.

Why scango.ch

More than a till

  • Staffed and self-service

    Counter with cash drawer, end-of-day closing and sales per cashier, plus the self-checkout, with one range and one stock.

  • Stock and suppliers

    Stock levels, supplier orders and supplier statements in the cloud dashboard.

  • Card and TWINT

    Payment through Freika, set up in one step with the checkout.

FAQ

What you want to know about switching

Can I keep my Shopify online store?

Yes. With the Shopify integration you bring products from your Shopify store into scango.ch instead of maintaining two ranges by hand.

How much does switching cost?

Importing your product data once at the start is included. You pay for the checkout and the subscription as shown in the cost estimate.

What happens to my past sales?

Your sales history stays in your current system. Download the reports for your accounting before you cancel the old subscription.

Can I run both systems side by side for a while?

Yes. You can set up and test scango.ch while your old till is still running, and switch over afterwards.
