What's the difference between the Connect and Grow plans?

Connect keeps your inventory and orders in sync between your POS and Shopify - the foundation every Mortar account starts with. Grow builds on that foundation by letting Mortar actively manage your Shopify catalog, not just keep inventory counts current.

Both plans sync inventory and pull Shopify orders and refunds into your POS. But beyond more SKUs and higher NMV thresholds, Grow plan adds the following:

Push product attribute updates from your POS to Shopify, so changes you make in your POS keep your online listings current automatically.

Keep your in-store and online pricing in sync automatically, including Shopify's Price and Compare at Price so sale prices display correctly.

Control how products sync, one product at a time. Use "groupbycolor" to publish a separate Shopify product for each color in a matrix - ideal for merchandising apparel online - or "noinventory" to manage an item's inventory separately in Shopify or from another source, such as a 3PL.
