Questions

Clothing & Apparel, answered.

Can Square track sizes and colors?

Yes. Each style is set up with variations, so a shirt in S/M/L across three colors is one product with per-variant stock, pricing, and barcodes.

Can I sell the same inventory online and in-store?

Yes. One catalog powers both, and stock updates as items sell on either channel.
