Connecting your tools for Fashion

Your shop, your online store, and your stock counts in one place

A boutique that sells in a shop and online often has two sets of numbers that never quite agree. Square knows what sold on the floor, Shopify knows what sold online, and Klaviyo only knows about half your customers. We connect them so stock, sales, and customer lists line up. That means fewer oversold pieces, launch emails that reach shop customers too, and one set of numbers for the owner to make buying calls from.

What we connect

Connections that matter for a fashion business

01

Shop and online stock

Square sales in the shop and Shopify sales online feed one stock count, so the last size 8 isn't sold twice.

02

Shop customers into email

Customers who join your list at the counter are added to Klaviyo, so they hear about the next drop too.

03

Sales into the accounts

Daily sales from both channels land in Xero, ready for your bookkeeper, with fees and refunds split out.

04

Instagram orders and DMs

Orders and questions from Instagram and Meta Business Suite are added to the same customer list as everything else.

Where the numbers split

A fashion boutique often sells in three places. There’s the shop on Square, the online store on Shopify, and the odd sale through Instagram DMs. Each keeps its own idea of what’s in stock and who your customers are. So the last size 8 sells online an hour after it sold in the shop, the launch email misses everyone who signed up at the counter, and the owner spends Sunday trying to make the numbers agree.

How the tools get connected

Connecting your tools (the industry calls it data pipelines) means moving information between the apps you already use, so they agree without anyone retyping. For a boutique, we connect Square and Shopify to one stock count, send shop customers into Klaviyo, and pass daily sales from both channels into Xero. Once the data sits together, an AI helper can do useful work with it, like drafting a reorder report or a launch email to the right customers.

What clean numbers made possible

We work with a four-person fashion boutique whose owner counted sell-through by hand each Sunday to decide reorders. A report built from Square sales now lists what sold, what sits, and suggested reorders, and the Sunday stocktake is gone. Buying decisions stay with the owner. That report works because the Square sales data was clean and in one place, and for a boutique that also sells online, connecting Shopify is the step that makes the same report cover both.

Where the numbers can still go wrong

A connection copies what’s there, including mistakes. If a staff member sells a piece without scanning it, the count will be wrong in both places. Apps also change how they share data from time to time, so we check the connections in our monthly time. And no connection decides what to buy for next season. That’s still the owner’s eye.

FAQs

Common questions

Don't Square and Shopify already connect?
Some of it does, through their own apps, and we use those wherever they work. We fill the gaps, like customer lists, markdowns, and pieces sold at a market stall.
Will it stop overselling?
It makes overselling much less likely, because both channels work from one count. It can't fix a count that's wrong at the start, so we do a careful stocktake together first.
Is our customer data safe?
It only moves between tools you already use and pay for, and your data stays yours. We don't copy it anywhere you haven't agreed to.
What does it cost?
A boutique with a shop and a store online usually fits Small Team at $1,950 a month, which covers 2 AI helpers, half a day a month of our time, a monthly review call, and AI running costs.
What still needs a person?
Buying. The numbers line up, but deciding what to reorder and what to mark down stays with the owner.
