Check it against your business.
- Can I use the products I already maintain in my POS or online store?
- What will I pay for my buyer count and required features?
- Can each customer get their agreed prices without a higher-tier plan?
- Which product changes sync, and which wholesale settings do I manage separately?
How Crate connects
Keep the catalog you already maintain.
Your products are already in Square, Clover or Shopify. Connect that catalog to Crate instead of manually creating a second product list. Manage wholesale visibility, unlimited price lists and customer-specific prices in Crate while keeping your existing POS or online store.
- Square
- Bring in the Square catalog. Use Square invoices and linked payment updates when Square is selected for invoicing.
- Clover
- Bring in Clover products and inventory. Use Crate or another supported invoice system; Clover invoice and payment sync are not part of this connection.
- Shopify
- Bring in the Shopify catalog. Use draft-order invoice checkout and linked payment updates when Shopify is selected for invoicing.
