Without Zapier, we would have needed well over 100 employees today just to do what we're doing. We would have been out of business by now.
David Laderberg, VP of Sales
Without having automation, we would have to at least be double our size. Doubling is a bit of a euphemism — I think we would have died or fallen back into oblivion.
Marcelo Lebre, Co-Founder
Zapier helps us close far above 50% more deals than we would without it. It is a key element of our overall strategy and, therefore, of our sales pitch.
Raphael Bochner, Founder and CIO
Zapier gives us unlimited flexibility and creativity. With Zapier, you're like an artist with a blank canvas. I don't know what we'd do without it.
Rishi Shah, CEO and Co-Founder
We don't just want to patch holes; we want to build scalable, future-proof systems. Zapier is helping us do that.
Allen Lai, Head of Customer Experience
We've been able to scale our operations while staying lean. Zapier lets us do more without needing more people.

Transform your retail ops with Zapier
Zapier helps you automate retail operations with less manual work. Track POS inventory, automate order flows, and run loyalty and promotions—and that’s just the start.
POS and inventory automation
Stock stays accurate as sales move
Automate retail inventory and POS workflows as sales happen. Connect Square, Shopify, and Google Sheets to update stock counts, flag low inventory, and route store data fast. That means fewer stockouts and cleaner retail operations.
Real-time stock updates
Update inventory records when new POS sales land in Square or Shopify, so stock stays current across stores without manual entry.
Low inventory alerts
Alert your team in Slack when inventory drops below target, so replenishment starts before shelves sit empty.
POS sales logging
Send each POS transaction into Google Sheets or Airtable for clean retail tracking, reporting, and daily reconciliation.
Store inventory reports
Build inventory snapshots from sales and stock data, then route reports to Google Sheets for store-level visibility.
Reorder task routing
Create replenishment tasks in Trello or Asana when key items run low, so buyers act fast without checking every SKU.
How it works
Retail operations automation connects your tools, detects sales, stock, and order changes, and triggers workflows automatically. Track inventory, orders, and store performance in real time—without manually updating spreadsheets or chasing status.
Step 1
Connect your tools
Integrate platforms like Shopify, Square, Stripe, eCommerce platforms, and inventory systems to centralize retail data.
Step 2
Define triggers
Set conditions for low stock, new orders, POS sales, loyalty activity, or promo launches.
Step 3
Automate & measure
Send alerts, update records, assign tasks, and continuously track retail performance improvements automatically.
