Heartland Retail vs NewStore

Heartland Retail is a cloud POS and retail management system for apparel stores, from boutiques to multi-location franchises. Its inventory tools include real-time updates, stock alerts, imports, and transfers, alongside purchase orders, vendor profiles, SKU setup, and reporting. It tracks customer purchase history and preferences and offers a loyalty program. Ecommerce integrations named by Heartland include BigCommerce, Shopify, Magento, and WooCommerce; QuickBooks and Management One are also listed, as is an open API. The company says integrations can sync inventory, carts, promotions, and customer data between stores and ecommerce channels. Listed payment options include credit and debit cards, gift cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. The POS runs on iOS and Android touchscreen terminals, and most POS hardware, including iPads, is compatible. Heartland advertises live-agent support available 24/7/365 and tailored onboarding. The starting price is $89 a month. A $0 offer is subject to eligibility and requires Heartland processing, a three-year contract, and 4% cash discounting; it covers up to 10 POS stations.
