Your questions, answered

What hardware store owners ask us

Can I get my whole range online without keying in every product?

Yes. Upload products in bulk by CSV or connect your POS, and extend your range with Orgill, Do it Best and Emery Jensen catalogs. AI product enrichment cleans up names and generates descriptions and SEO tags.

See product management
How do I run several stores from one place?

Manage inventory, pricing, orders and customer accounts across every location from one dashboard, enable fulfillment per store, and limit staff access by role and store.

See store locations
Can customers find a product by scanning its barcode?

Yes. In the native mobile app, customers scan a UPC barcode or use an image to find a product and add it to their cart.

Will it work with my POS and accounting?

ToolSwift connects to POS systems such as Lightspeed and Square, and accounting tools such as QuickBooks, so inventory and orders stay in step.

See integrations
Will local shoppers find us on Google?

ToolSwift renders product pages on the server, generates sitemaps from your catalog, and connects to Google, Microsoft and Meta merchant feeds, so Google and AI assistants can read your catalog.

See discoverability
Can customers pick up in store?

Yes. Orders can be picked up from the right location, with statuses such as Ready for Pickup and Picked Up.

See pickup and delivery
Can we text customers about their orders?

Yes. SMS and WhatsApp messaging from one company number lets your whole team reply, and customers are notified when their order status changes.

See messages
Can the contractors who shop with us get their own prices?

Yes. Customer groups and Pro accounts carry their own pricing, credit and product access, alongside your regular retail customers.
