WooCommerce stays your single source of truth. You build and manage your catalog where you already work, push it to your PayPal POS product library, and start selling at the counter. When something sells, online or in store, inventory updates on the other side automatically. No spreadsheets, no double entry, no end-of-day stock surprises. What you can do Connect in minutes.

Export a selection of products, or your entire catalog, from WooCommerce to your PayPal POS product library. Manage everything in one place.
