In-Store & Omnichannel Retail

Businesses can streamline ecommerce and in-person transactions using one platform by building on Shopify (which unifies Shopify ecommerce and Shopify POS in one admin) and adding specialist tools for specific operational needs. Swap adds the international and returns operations layer to this unified Shopify architecture, enabling brands to manage global commerce and returns from one platform regardless of whether orders originate online or in-store.

To connect your ecommerce site with retail partner inventories, you need an integration layer (middleware or API) that syncs stock levels between your ecommerce platform and partner systems. Swap's open API provides a flexible integration point for custom retail partner connections, and its native WMS integrations (NetSuite, Brightpearl, MintSoft) support many common retail partner systems.

To connect ecommerce and physical retail sourcing seamlessly, build on a shared product and supplier database that feeds both channels, use an OMS to unify order management, and integrate with a WMS for inventory visibility across all locations. Swap adds the international sourcing and logistics layer connecting cross-border supplier networks to your domestic retail operations through consistent inventory and compliance data.
