POS for Retail Boutiques: One Stock Count for the Store and the Site.
Square for a boutique that sells every style in five sizes, in store and online.
What This Business Needs at the Counter.
Every style is really a grid of sizes and colors.
Sizes and colors
Store and site, one count
Exchanges that restock

Reorder before it's gone
Square, with Every Size as Its Own SKU.
A boutique needs a deep item catalog more than a heavy back office. Square's option sets and channel sync do that without on-premise servers.
Also in the lineup
RMH. For a multi-store chain or a shop coming off Microsoft RMS: a matrix layout for size and color and stock lookup across locations.
Size and color variations
Each variation can carry its own cost, price and SKU, and option sets build every combination.
Store and online in sync
Orders, inventory and customer data sync across every sales channel, including buy online, pick up in store.
Returns and exchanges
Returns and exchanges on any purchase; exchanges start on Plus, cross-location returns on Premium.
Customer profiles
Build customer profiles and track preferences with every purchase.
Low-stock alerts
Set an alert when a stock count dips below a set quantity, on every plan.
Vendors and purchase orders
Vendor profiles for barcodes, purchase orders and reports, on Plus and Premium.
Read the full picture
Square's item options article says item variations represent different versions of the same item, like colors or sizes, and that each variation can have its own cost, price and SKU. Option sets generate the full grid, so three sizes in three colors become nine variations without building each one by hand.
Square's clothing store page describes syncing orders, inventory and customer data across every sales channel, buy online and pick up in store, easy returns and exchanges, and customer profiles that track preferences with every purchase. The retail pricing page lists low-stock alerts on every plan, exchanges, vendor profiles, purchase orders and barcode label printing on Square Plus, and cross-location returns on Square Premium.
RMH is the alternative for the larger operator. Its apparel page describes a matrix layout for product lookup and ordering and checking stock in other locations in seconds. RMH's RMS upgrade page says it is an on-premise solution with offline capabilities, which suits a chain that already ran Microsoft RMS.
