One catalogue, one stock count, two ways of selling. A sale at the till moves
the same number a sale on the website moves.

## Lite and Pro

Lite comes with every plan and takes payments. Pro is a per-location monthly
fee and is where the stockroom features live:

- [Stocky](https://storestandards.com/glossary/stocky/), included
- Stock transfers and adjustments from the till
- Smart grids and staff permissions
- Buy online, collect in store

If your shop counts stock, you are on Pro or you are doing it in the admin on
a laptop out the back.

## One location per till

Each till is tied to a [location](https://storestandards.com/glossary/shopify-location/), and that is
what decides which stock it sells from. Get it wrong on setup and the shop
sells the warehouse's stock all week.

## Where it goes wrong

Staff use the till to correct stock rather than to sell. A quick adjustment at
the counter with no reason attached is an
[inventory adjustment](https://storestandards.com/glossary/inventory-adjustment/) nobody can explain
later, and the busiest till makes the most of them.

The other one is assuming Pro is per store. It is billed per location, so a
third shop is a third fee, which is worth knowing before you sign the lease.
