The project is due tomorrow. The yarn, the glue gun, the last sheet of basswood — on your shelf, invisible.

Q: Prices on cards change daily.

The feed follows the register. When the price changes in BinderPOS or CrystalCommerce, the listing changes with it.

Q: I run classes and events as much as retail.

Those stay where they are. Visibility is for the shelf — the part of the store a stranger with a half-finished project can find tonight.

Q: Square already lists my products online.

Square's online store is your site. Zachcart publishes the same inventory to Google Search and Maps, AI answers and the delivery apps, where the near-me search actually happens.

Q: I'm on a 2015-era POS.

Perfect. That's who we built this for. If your register tracks a sale, we can put it online.

Craft and hobby retail is project retail: a specific color, a specific weight, a specific scale, needed mid-project. Zachcart puts your real, in-stock inventory — colorway, gauge, kit number — on Google Search and Maps, in AI answers and on the delivery apps, synced from the register you already run.

Crafts and hobby is color-and-material retail.

The search is never "craft store." It's the dye lot, the 1:48 kit, the booster box, the 2mm beads in that one blue. Your assortment is the reason people drive past the chain to reach you — and it's invisible to the thing they ask first, because the chain publishes a feed and your register doesn't. Search a specific colorway plus "near me." If the chain or the marketplace shows up and you don't, that's the dark shelf.

POS systems crafts & hobby stores run

14 systems · 1 connected

Hobby retail runs on a mix of general registers (Square, Shopify POS) and systems built for a corner of the hobby world — BinderPOS and CrystalCommerce for game and card stores, the toy and music specialists. Fourteen systems in all, two connected today.

What this mix means for your store

This is a small set with a clear shape: eight of the 14 systems are cloud, two (Square and Shopify POS) are already connected to Zachcart, and Square is the only one on Google's free local inventory list. The specialist systems — the ones game stores, comic shops and model shops actually prefer — were built for singles pricing, pre-orders and events, and none of them publishes to Google or the delivery apps. That matters because hobby inventory is deep and fast-moving: a card shop can have tens of thousands of SKUs with a dozen price changes a day, and the only honest way to put that online is a feed that follows the register. Everything on the list connects by request; the cloud systems connect by API without an install.

If your register tracks a sale, we can put it online

Square, Shopify POS and the other cloud systems connect by API. BinderPOS and CrystalCommerce run as cloud systems with their own catalogs, and we read the retail items with a count and a price. The handful of on-premise hobby systems connect by remote connector.

POS integrations How local inventory works

Four outcomes. One connection.

Your in-stock yarn, paint, kits, cards and games on Google Search and Maps the evening before the project is due.

Product pages under your store's name, by colorway and variant, no website project.

Your shelf as an answer AI assistants can cite when someone asks for a specific kit or color near them.

No dark orders: the last skein in the dye lot sells and it's off the feed within a minute.

Asked by owners like you

Still have a question? Ask us

I carry thousands of singles and small items. Does it all go online?

It can, or you pick the categories. Many stores start with the kits, paints and sealed product that drive near-me searches and open the long tail later.

Prices on cards change daily.

I run classes and events as much as retail.

Square already lists my products online.

I'm on a 2015-era POS.
