How to get your products on Google right from your Point of Sale (POS) system

Point of Sale (POS) system Image

Pointy is available as a free downloadable app that works on some Point of Sale (POS) systems, including Clover, Square and Lightspeed. If the app is available for your Point of Sale (POS) system, you don’t need the Pointy box. Check if you can get the app

Find the answers you need

Does the Pointy box collect any data?

The Pointy box only transmits barcode information from the barcode scanner it is connected to. The Pointy box can’t access any data from your Point of Sale (POS) system, nor does it interfere with the Point of Sale (POS) system or any of the software running on it.

Do I need the Pointy box and the app?

No, you do not need both the box and app to get your products on Google. Most retailers will use the Pointy box to add their products to Google. However, Pointy is available as a downloadable app on some Point of Sale (POS) systems including Clover, Square, and Lightspeed.

Both setups are free with no hidden costs. Check which option is right for you.

How do I check if my store is eligible to add products to Google with Pointy?

In order to be eligible for Pointy, you must have a physical location, a Point of Sale (POS) system with a barcode scanner, and you must scan UPC/EAN barcodes. You can check if you’re eligible here.
