# Clothing and apparel POS system

## **Sell in style with a POS built for apparel retail**

Running a clothing store means balancing speed, service, and stock accuracy all at once. GoDaddy POS is designed for independent apparel retailers that want a fast, reliable checkout experience, without complicated tools or costly fees. From curated fashion boutiques to busy sneaker shops, our intuitive system helps you keep sales moving, inventory organized, and shoppers coming back, even during your biggest rushes.

How to easily set up your apparel POS
    
    

      
        
        
          
            
            
            
          
          
            
            
          
          Select the right device for your store
        
        
          Time to pick up the hardware that matches how you run your shop! If you've got a traditional checkout counter, the large swivel display Smart Terminal Pro or dual-screen Smart Terminal Duo gives you that professional look. But, if you're all about selling on the floor, running pop-ups, or hitting trade shows, the Smart Terminal Flex is your lightweight best friend.
        
      

      
        
        
          
            
            
            
          
          
            
            
          
          Connect compatible accessories
        
        
          Do you need accessories such as a receipt printer, barcode scanner, or cash drawer? We have them. Or connect your existing accessories, if compatible.
        
      

      
        
        
          
            
            
            
          
          
            
            
          
          Import or create your apparel catalog
        
        
          You can bulk upload all your existing products in just a few steps — styles, sizes, colors, variants, the whole nine yards. Starting from scratch? No problem! Our AI tools can whip up detailed product descriptions and images that match exactly how you want to showcase your apparel.
        
      

      
        
        
          
            
            
            
          
          
            
            
          
          Configure your sales channels
        
        
          Why stop at your brick-and-mortar? Connect your GoDaddy online store and hit marketplaces like Amazon and Etsy without redoing your entire catalog. Everything syncs automatically — your products, your inventory, all of it. Now you're selling wherever your customers are shopping.
        
      

      
        
        
          
            
            
            
          
          
            
            
          
          Unlock additional savings with Point of Sale Plus

For $28.99/month (when you pay annually), Point of Sale Plus hooks you up with the good stuff: lower transaction fees at just 2.3% + 0¢ for in-person sales, unlimited products on your POS terminal, inventory alerts when stock runs low, custom staff permissions in your dashboard.
