On Thursday March 19, 2026, we had the pleasure of being invited to the first “retail performance” morning co-organized by our Lille-based colleague Fourseeds<\/a>, alongside their partners ShopiShopa and COD4IS, in a setting ideally located opposite the Gare Saint-Lazare in Paris.<\/p>\n

On the agenda for this morning: a subject at the heart of today’s challenges – retail performance in 2026<\/strong>. Around the table, a panel of speakers with complementary expertise, sharing their visions and feedback on the changes taking place in the sector.<\/p>\n

Christophe Davy<\/a> (General Manager <\/strong>ShopiShopa Consulting<\/strong><\/a>)<\/strong> shared a particularly rich intervention around Shopify POS<\/strong>, with, as a bonus, some exclusive roadmap elements.<\/p>\n

An opportunity to take a look at a solution that is still emerging in France<\/strong>, but already well established internationally, and which perfectly illustrates the changes underway in the retail sector.<\/p>\n

Launched in 2018<\/strong>, Shopify POS is a continuation of the Shopify ecosystem, with a strong promise: to natively unify e-commerce and retail<\/strong>. Here, no complex integration between systems: the point of sale is directly connected to the Shopify back-office<\/strong>, with the same customer, product and order data.<\/p>\n

In concrete terms, the solution is based on a mobile application available on iOS and Android<\/strong>, which is easy to deploy and learn. This “tablet-first<\/strong> ” approach profoundly transforms the in-store experience: streamlined ergonomics<\/strong>, rapid team onboarding<\/strong>, and the ability to operate on the move, with configurations ranging from 100% Bluetooth<\/strong> to more traditional setups via the new POS Hub<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
