StoreConnect vs Eposly
Which platform is right for you?

These two products are not chasing the same footprint. Eposly is deliberately narrow: it takes the in-person, staff-assisted transaction and executes it inside Salesforce. StoreConnect sits underneath the whole commerce operation — the site, the storefront, the content, and the registers. If assisted in-person selling is your only channel, Eposly’s narrower scope is a design decision rather than a gap. If the online channel matters now or later, StoreConnect covers both from one dataset.

Eposly’s architecture claim holds up: no middleware, no external database, no reconciliation between a commerce system and your CRM. The distinction is what the model covers. StoreConnect extends the standard Salesforce Order, Account and Contact objects across web and in-store sales, so a single record structure carries both channels — and store staff can work a register without consuming a Salesforce user license.

Credit where it is due: Eposly is a serious POS, and on configure-and-price workflows — particularly where pricing references a live external feed — it is purpose-built for exactly that job. StoreConnect matches it on the operational fundamentals and adds two things that matter in a physical store: documented offline transaction handling, so a dropped connection doesn’t stop trade, and register-level shift, float and end-of-day reconciliation.

This is the clearest division between the two. Eposly does not sell itself as a storefront or a CMS, so nothing here counts against it on its own terms — but it does mean the online channel has to come from somewhere else. With StoreConnect, the storefront, the content, the subscription and membership programs, and the registers all draw on the same Salesforce data, so an in-store purchase and an online renewal sit on one customer record without a second platform to license and maintain.

Both platforms give an agent clean, structured transaction data in Salesforce rather than a summary synced in from elsewhere — that is a real shared strength. The difference is coverage. An agent working from StoreConnect can see the product catalog, the site content, the online orders and the in-store sales together, and StoreConnect ships a dedicated Agentforce Toolkit to build on it.

A narrower product means a narrower implementation, and that is a genuine advantage for teams whose only requirement is the in-person transaction. The budget question is what sits alongside it: if the online channel is also in scope, that path means licensing, implementing and maintaining a second platform. StoreConnect publishes its plans and inclusions openly across emerging, mid-market and enterprise tiers, so both channels can be costed before you talk to anyone.

On cardholder data both platforms take the same sound approach: card details are handled by a certified provider and never land in Salesforce. Where they differ is independent verification of the vendor itself. StoreConnect holds SOC 2 Type I and II, SOC 3, ISO 27001:2022 and PCI DSS 4.0.1, with the certificates published for review at the StoreConnect Trust Center. We found no equivalent published attestations for Eposly, which is a statement about public documentation rather than about their controls — if certifications matter to your procurement process, ask them directly.

Across retail, services, public sector and manufacturing the two platforms genuinely compete, and Eposly has real reference customers in those sectors. The divergence is in fundraising, education, attractions and membership programs — all of which lean on capabilities that come with a storefront, a content layer and native subscription and booking products. Those aren’t part of what Eposly sets out to do.
