Designed alongside real shop owners - not adapted from generic retail.
Plato handles the specific workflows of a quilt shop right out of the box - and we build what you need if something's missing.
Sell by the yard, by the eighth of a yard, or anything in between. Cut fat quarters with ease.
Build a sale right at the cutting table, put it on hold, and finish it out at the register. No re-entering anything.
Create classes, manage rosters, track signups and payments, and send reminders - all from the same system as your sales.
Connect your store to a modern, beautiful Shopify storefront. Products, inventory, customers, and classes - all synced.
Know your regulars, their purchase history, and their preferences. Build loyalty that keeps people coming back.
If your shop has a workflow we haven't seen, tell us. We build what you need - we don't point you to an app marketplace.
Sell gift cards and issue store credit right from the register. A simple way to keep customers coming back and drive repeat visits.
Windows, iPad, or whatever computers you've already got. No proprietary hardware required.
Plato connects directly to Shopify - the gold standard of ecommerce - so you get a beautiful online store, better payment rates than most alternatives, and a massive ecosystem of apps and themes. No custom website required.
Platforms like LikeSew lock you into their templates. Shopify gives you access to thousands of beautiful themes, world-class checkout, and an app ecosystem that grows with your business.
Plato handles the connection between your shop floor and your online store automatically - so you're not running two businesses, you're running one.
Shopify's payment rates are typically lower than Square and LikeSew, and you keep full control over your storefront design.
Create products in Plato and they appear in Shopify automatically - and vice versa.
Shopify orders pull into Plato for fulfillment and tracking. Everything in one place.
Sell colors, sizes, and other variants on a single Shopify product page.
Sell classes online via Shopify with rosters tracked automatically inside Plato.
Stock levels stay accurate across both platforms, with the option to push updates manually right away.
Price updates made in Plato reflect on your Shopify store automatically.
Customer records sync from Shopify to Plato, keeping your data consistent across both platforms.
Product images and tags assigned in Plato push to Shopify to support filtering and SEO.
