Loyverse has no online store: how to sell online with Wix
By Kayabyte
Loyverse is a point of sale: it runs your till, receipts, items and stock, but it has no online store of its own. To sell online you pair Loyverse with a web shop, and the main question is how to keep one stock count between the till and the web. This guide shows how to run a Wix Stores shop next to Loyverse: what to set up on each side, how stock stays in step, and which jobs stay where.
What Loyverse covers and what it doesn’t
- Covered: sales at the till, receipts, items with variants, stock per store, low-stock alerts, customers and loyalty, and reports. Stock tracking is part of the free plan.
- Not covered: a public web shop, online checkout, shipping rates and delivery. Loyverse’s marketplace lists connectors to web shops such as Shopify, WooCommerce and Wix instead.
So “Loyverse online store” in practice means Loyverse plus a web shop, joined by a connector.
Why Wix Stores is a fit for a Loyverse shop
- Wix Stores has products with options (size, color), stock per variant, online payments, shipping and pickup, and a site builder for the rest of your website.
- Products in Wix and items in Loyverse map one to one by SKU, so both sides can describe the same thing.
- If you already have a Wix site, adding Wix Stores keeps the website and the shop in one place.
Step 1: tidy your items in Loyverse
- In Loyverse Back Office > Items > Item list, open each item you want to sell online.
- Switch on Track stock, so Loyverse keeps a count.
- Give each item and variant a SKU you will also use in Wix. Loyverse SKUs are unique per account and up to 40 characters.
- Leave composite items (bundles) and items sold by weight for in-store sales, or sell them online as separate products whose stock you manage by hand.
Step 2: put the products in Wix Stores
You have two ways:
- Create them in Wix, with the same SKUs. Good if you want different photos and longer descriptions online.
- Import them from Loyverse. Export the item list from Loyverse Back Office as a CSV file and rework it into Wix’s product import format, or use a sync app that imports Loyverse items as Wix products for you.
Step 3: keep one stock count
A shop that sells the same item at the till and online needs both counts to move together, or the web shop sells stock you no longer have. Your choices:
- By hand after each sale on either side: fine for a few items, breaks on busy days.
- A spreadsheet import once a day: overwrites counts and loses sales made in between.
- A two-way sync app: till sales lower the online stock and online orders lower the Loyverse count, usually within seconds. See How to sync Loyverse inventory with your Wix store for the checklist and Loyverse and Wix sync options compared for the options.
Step 4: decide where each job lives
| Job | Where |
|---|---|
| Till sales and receipts | Loyverse |
| Online orders, payments and shipping | Wix |
| Stock count | Both, kept in step by the sync |
| Prices | One side leads; a sync with price sync copies them across |
| New products | Create them on one side and import or export them to the other |
| Several shops | Loyverse keeps stock per store; the web shop follows the one store that holds your online stock |
Online orders stay in Wix. Most stock syncs, ours included, don’t turn them into Loyverse receipts; they only lower the Loyverse count.

FAQ
Does Loyverse have an online store? No. Loyverse is a point of sale. To sell online you connect it to a web shop such as Wix Stores, Shopify or WooCommerce.
Can I sell online with the free Loyverse plan? Yes. Stock tracking is free, and Loyverse lists integrations as free. You pay for the web shop (for Wix Stores, a Wix plan that accepts payments) and for the connector if it is a paid one.
Will online orders show up in Loyverse? That depends on the connector. Some create Loyverse receipts for online orders; stock-only syncs, such as ours, lower the Loyverse count and leave the order in Wix.
What if I have several Loyverse stores? Loyverse keeps a separate count per store. Choose one store as your online stock, for example the shop or warehouse that ships the orders.
Do I need to keep prices the same in the shop and online? No. You can keep different prices, or use a sync with price sync to copy prices from one side to the other.
