What each tool sees on its ownShow less
Shopify on its own
Shopify sees the order and the landing page. It has no view of the ad impressions, emails or searches that came before that session.
Timing. Shopify writes each order the moment it is placed, including the landing page and referring site of the session that bought.
Access. Read-only access through the Shopify Admin API, approved from the store admin.
POS Systems on its own
A POS sees the sale at the counter. It only knows who bought when the customer gave a phone number or email for a receipt or loyalty account.
Timing. Many POS systems settle and export transactions in end-of-day batches.
Access. The POS vendor's API where one exists, or a daily export.
