The birthday is tomorrow. The exact thing is on your shelf. The search sent them to the mall.

Specialty is the catch-all of independent retail, and it shows in the systems: 63 in our research, from the small-store cloud registers (Square, Clover, Shopify POS, Lightspeed, Rain, WooPOS, KORONA) through the mid-market platforms (Celerant, Counterpoint, Retail Pro, ERPLY, Runit) to the enterprise suites regional chains run. Six are connected to Zachcart today, and the discontinued systems are listed because stores are still on them.

Three things to read in this table. First, specialty has the best Google coverage of any vertical: nine systems appear on Google's free local inventory list (Clover, Lightspeed, Square, Rain POS, WooPOS, RMH, J3, Paladin and Auto-Star), so a specialty store has a fair chance its register can already push items to its Business Profile — and stops there. No specialty-built system reports a retail delivery connector; Square's, Clover's and Lightspeed's are restaurant products. Second, the six connected systems (Square, Clover, Shopify POS, Lightspeed, Celerant and NCR Counterpoint) are the ones most independent gift and specialty stores run, so most can connect by API without waiting for a build. Third, two systems on the list are end-of-life — QuickBooks Point of Sale, discontinued in 2023, and Microsoft Dynamics RMS, out of support since 2021 — and stores still on them are the clearest case for a connector that reads the database rather than waiting for an API that will never come.
