More than an e-commerce add-on
Shopify POS is designed for online-first retailers who also sell in person. If you need a full-featured POS for restaurants or multi-location retail with local support in Malta, here is how Twine compares.
Why businesses choose Twine over Shopify POS
POS-first, not e-commerce-first
Twine is built from the ground up as a point-of-sale system. Shopify POS is an add-on to an e-commerce platform — in-store features are secondary.
Restaurants supported
Twine handles table management and order routing for restaurants. Shopify POS has no restaurant capabilities.
Local payments sorted
Twine works with local Maltese payment processors. Shopify Payments is available in Malta for online transactions only — in-store POS requires a third-party terminal.
Support in your timezone
Twine provides direct local support in Malta. Shopify support is remote and global with no local presence.
