FAQ
We put together some of the most frequently asked questions about Retail Management Hero and Shopify integration.
- How long does RMH to Shopify implementation take?Most RMH-Shopify integrations are fully operational within 4-6 weeks. Timeline depends on catalog size, customization requirements, and your team’s availability for testing and training. We work on your schedule to minimize disruption.
- What happens if internet connectivity drops?
The system queues transactions locally and automatically syncs when connection restores. Your POS continues operating normally. We build redundancy into every integration.
- Can I control which products appear on Shopify?
Absolutely. You determine which items sync to your online store using categories, tags, or custom rules. Not every in-store product needs to be online.
- How are Shopify orders handled in RMH?
Orders download directly into RMH as new transactions. You fulfill them through your normal workflow, and status updates sync back to Shopify automatically. Customers get real-time tracking.
- What about products with variants like size and color?
Variants sync seamlessly. RMH handles the parent-child relationship, and Shopify displays options correctly. Inventory tracks at the variant level for accurate availability.
- Can we use Shopify POS alongside RMH?Yes, though RMH remains your primary system. Shopify POS transactions sync back to RMH. This works well for pop-ups or events where RMH hardware isn’t practical.
- How do you handle pricing differences between channels?Configure multiple price levels in RMH. Set different pricing for online vs in-store, or create customer-specific pricing that applies across both channels.
- What if we have multiple store locations?Perfect scenario for integration. Manage inventory across all locations from RMH, choose which locations contribute to online stock, and enable ship-from-store or BOPIS by location.
- Does this work with Shopify Plus?
Yes. The integration fully supports Shopify Plus features including wholesale channels, custom checkout flows, and advanced automation.
