# Is Shopify a good fit for your boutique, and what should it connect to?

## Is Shopify a good fit?

Where Shopify suits clothing boutiques and shoe stores, and what to check before you commit.

- Good fit: boutiques that sell online and in the shop and want one stock count for both.
- Good fit: owners who launch new arrivals or drops and email their list when they land.
- Check first: if you keep your current in-store POS, how stock will stay in step between it and Shopify.
- Check first: which apps you'll rely on for returns, reviews and email, since each adds its own settings to keep in order.

## What to connect Shopify to

Each one is a working piece you can open and check when it's done.

### One stock count, shop and online

Sales in the shop and online taking from the same count, so the last medium doesn't sell twice.

### New arrivals to your list

When a new collection is published, your email list gets the announcement with the right photos and sizes, through Klaviyo or your email tool.

### Returns and exchanges

A simple returns flow that records the reason, restocks the item and offers an exchange before a refund.

### Supplier reorders

Low stock by style and size collected into a reorder sheet per supplier, so buying for the season starts from real numbers.

### Sales to the books

Shopify payouts, fees and refunds summarized and posted to your accounting software for review.

### Last size never sells twice

Example: a two-shop boutique that sold the same dress in the shop and online the same afternoon moves both to one stock count.

### Drop day email

Example: a shoe store's new arrivals go out to its list the morning they're published, with sizes still in stock.

## Questions people ask first

**Is Shopify a good fit for a small boutique?**

Many single-shop boutiques use it. It suits shops that want an online store they can run themselves, with apps for the parts they need.

**Can Shopify run my in-store checkout too?**

Yes, Shopify has its own point of sale. If you keep another POS, the two need connecting so stock stays right.

**Does Shopify connect to Klaviyo?**

Yes. Klaviyo has a Shopify integration, and Shopify has an API and webhooks for anything the standard apps don't cover.

**Do you build Shopify stores?**

We connect and automate around Shopify. If the store itself needs work, we tell you what we'd change and write it into the scope.
