    Rakuten
    Anyone who is shopping online for personal or business can utilize Rakuten (Ebates) to find special offers, coupons, and discounts and get rebates back from their everyday personal or business shopping. I recommend adding the Google Chrome Extension to make it easier to find and get rebates.

    Vend was great fit for this dry cleaner/laundry that had high traffic volume with customers stopping in before and after work. Things need to be done quickly.

    Vend is much more capable than Square POS for product management and inventory control. ShopKeep is fairly similar to Vend but is a more closed ecosystem with fewer third-party integrations and less frequent updates.

    • Correct inventory levels has been a game-changer. We use to oversell because of inconsistencies between POS and e-commerce sales.
    • The built-in loyalty program has been very useful and was much more appealing to customers than we originally predicted.
