Payment solutions for vintage stores

How each solution supports vintage stores

See what each option adds to the way your business takes and tracks payments.

Square for Retail

For vintage stores: Connect resale goods, vintage items and consignment purchases to a retail catalog, stock tracking and customer purchase history. Square describes Square for Retail as a POS to "sell more and stay stocked with a POS designed for retail." For vintage stores, that means curated one-of-a-kind pieces tracked in one catalog with stock synced between the counter and online. Roots Payments, an independent Square Reseller, builds the catalog, configures the plan and hardware, and supports your team after launch.
  • Import and clean up your catalog of curated one-of-a-kind pieces
  • Map your workflow to Square Free, Plus or Premium before you commit
  • Configure barcode labels, scanners, printers and cash drawers

Square Online (websites)

For vintage stores: Give customers an online storefront for resale goods, vintage items and consignment purchases, with ordering and fulfillment choices suited to your business. Square Online gives vintage stores a website with pickup, shipping and local delivery, and Square says in-store sales, online orders and inventory connect automatically. That keeps curated one-of-a-kind pieces from overselling across channels. Roots Payments builds the store, product pages and shipping rules.
  • Build product pages with photos, variants and descriptions
  • Set shipping zones, pickup windows and local delivery radius
  • Connect your domain and basic on-page SEO
