Rain POS

What Rain POS is

Rain POS is point-of-sale software for specialty retailers such as craft stores, boutiques, and outdoor shops. It supports sales in stores and online, with inventory information syncing between store records and the online catalog. Cloud-based inventory tools handle clothing sizes, colors, and styles and let retailers check stock levels. Reporting covers seasonal sales trends, profit margins, and performance by product and category.

The product also includes a website builder, customer relationship management and loyalty features, and targeted text and email marketing. Integrated payments support online and in-person debit, credit, and mobile transactions. Plan features vary: Startup includes basic reports, pooled inventory tracking, online order fulfillment, invoicing, quotes, special order tracking, and unlimited users and products. Core adds multi-location functionality, product styles and options, consignment, classes, and QuickBooks Online integration. Plus adds serialized inventory, work orders, native email marketing, text messaging, and Shopify integration. Shopify synchronization covers product details, variants, quantities on hand, and customer contact changes. Rain POS is headquartered in Provo, Utah. Startup costs $99 a month billed annually; Core and Plus display no numeric price.
