What Shore is
Shore combines appointment booking, customer and staff management, payments and point-of-sale tools for businesses. Customers can book through a business website, Google, Instagram or Facebook, while the online calendar supports appointment reminders and business statistics. The Booking package includes customer management and Google Calendar integration; Booking + Marketing adds email marketing, Google reviews, employee management, birthday reminders and PayPal integration. Shore POS turns an iPad into a register that can connect to a card reader and receipt printer. POS plans include payment options, inventory functions and a DATEV interface for transferring POS data to a tax advisor. Shore runs in a browser on Mac and Windows computers and offers iOS and Android apps. The company says browser-to-server transmission uses 256-bit SSL encryption and its servers and databases are in Germany, with daily backups and redundant storage. A 14-day trial requires no payment details and ends automatically; there is no free plan.
