# Connect Shopify Retail POS to Thanks.io and automate your tasks

## Why integrate Shopify Retail POS with Thanks.io

The Shopify Retail POS to Thanks.io integration helps you sync data, automate manual tasks, and keep your stack aligned — without writing code.

### Unify in-store and online customer records automatically

When a customer makes a purchase at your POS, MESA updates their Shopify customer profile with the transaction details. Your online and in-store history live in one record without anyone reconciling them manually.

### Keep inventory accurate the moment a sale happens in store

When a product is sold at your POS, MESA updates stock levels across your connected tools — your online store, your warehouse system, your ops dashboard. Your inventory reflects reality in real time, not at the end of a sync cycle.

### Trigger loyalty and marketing workflows from in-store purchases

When a customer buys in store, MESA kicks off the right next step — enrolling them in a Klaviyo flow, updating a Smile.io record, applying a Shopify tag. Your in-person sales feed the same retention engine as your online ones.

### Send a handwritten postcard the moment an order is placed

When a Shopify order is placed, MESA triggers a Thanks.io postcard to the customer's shipping address automatically. Your store delivers a physical, personal touch without anyone writing or mailing a single card by hand.

### Reach lapsed customers with direct mail when digital channels go quiet

When a customer passes a re-engagement threshold in Shopify — no purchase in 90 days, a dropped loyalty tier, an unsubscribed email — MESA triggers a Thanks.io postcard to their address. Your win-back effort reaches them on a channel that doesn't compete with a crowded inbox.

### Send direct mail at the loyalty milestones that matter most

When a customer hits a VIP tier, a spend threshold, or a significant anniversary in Shopify, MESA triggers a Thanks.io card with a personalized message. Your best customers receive a physical acknowledgment at the moment it means the most without anyone manually curating the send list.

## Build any Shopify Retail POS and Thanks.io automation

MESA helps you connect apps to automate repetitive tasks. A trigger is an event that starts a workflow, and actions are the steps that occur when it's running.
