Questions before you switch

Can I sell products and take service bookings from one site?

Create a product and service in Sophosic, then test both customer paths and inspect the resulting records in Console. Compare that flow with the store and apps you already use. If in-person sales matter, Tap to Pay on iPhone is not currently offered. Keep your existing POS setup until an available replacement meets your requirements.

How should I price a retail switch?

Use the same online and in-person sales mix, locations, staff needs, and billing period. Add subscriptions, processing, POS hardware, and the apps your current workflow requires. Compare those costs with the current Sophosic plans on Pricing.

What happens to existing products, orders, and customers?

Keep exports of the catalog and records you need. Ask us to review representative files, confirm supported fields, and validate a small sample. Do not assume historical orders will appear in Sophosic’s customer detail view until that transfer has been checked.
