Ecwid automatically captures all customer orders from your online store. However, any offline sales (phone orders, sales in a brick and mortar store) are not automatically added to your Ecwid Control Panel. You can create these orders manually to include offline sales and inventory along with the rest of your online merchandise. This method provides a comprehensive order history in your Control Panel.
This feature is available for Business and Unlimited subscribers. Upgrade to get this feature
If you run an offline store with Square, Clover or Vend POS, you can sync your catalog and sales automatically by connecting the POS system to Ecwid.
