Multi-Location / Retail
Most retail stacks meter you per store and split your customer across every register and the website. Rehost is one branded app and one customer record across all of them.
Open a second and third store and the costs compound: a POS seat per location plus the Shopify add-on stack of loyalty, email, and an app builder, reported at $400 to $800-plus a month before you sell anything. The deeper problem is the data. A shopper who buys in your Pasadena store, redeems points online, and walks into Long Beach reads as three different people. We build one app on top of your Shopify, unify the customer record across every store and the web, and operate the whole thing.

What running multiple stores actually costs.
- The per-store stack compounds. Shopify POS Pro is reported at $89/mo per location ($79 on annual), so a five-store group is paying for five seats before add-ons. On top sit the apps every multi-store brand runs: a loyalty tool like Smile.io or LoyaltyLion ($199 to $699+/mo), Klaviyo for email and SMS (roughly $150 at 10K profiles, $400 at 25K), and an app builder like Tapcart ($250 to $1,000+/mo plus a success fee). The reported total lands at $400 to $800-plus a month, and most of those tools meter by store count or total profiles, so the bill climbs every time you grow.
- The customer fragments across stores. Each POS holds its own customer list, the website holds another, and the loyalty app holds a third. A regular at one location is a stranger at the next. You can't see lifetime value across stores, you can't tell which shoppers cross between them, and you can't market to the person instead of the storefront. The data exists; it's just scattered across five logins that were never built to agree with each other.
- Loyalty breaks between locations. Points earned online don't always redeem in-store, tier status resets depending on where someone shops, and a member who moves between your stores effectively starts over. The loyalty apps technically support multi-store, but it's an enterprise tier (LoyaltyLion's unified multi-store program sits on its higher plans), and even then your staff is the one stitching it together across the POS and the website.
- Brand and promos drift store to store. A new collection, a weekend promo, a price change: pushing it consistently across every storefront, the website, and the app means touching multiple tools per store. Things fall out of sync. One location runs the old banner, another never got the push notification, and the experience a customer gets depends on which door they walked through.
One app, one customer record, kept on Shopify.
We build one branded iOS and Android app and a website on top of the Shopify you already run, then collapse the add-on stack into it: loyalty, customer data, push, and email live in one platform instead of four apps billed per store. The customer record is unified. Someone who buys in one store, redeems points online, and shops a third location is one profile with one point balance and one history, visible across every storefront. Your POS stays Shopify; we don't rip out what works, we unify what's fragmented on top of it.
And we operate it. Your staff never logs into a builder or administers a loyalty dashboard. New store opening, a promo across all locations, a seasonal app refresh: you send a message and our team ships it across every storefront at once. You own the App Store accounts, the domain, the code, the Shopify data, and the customer list, all in your business's name. Pricing is by total monthly active users, not per store, so opening location six doesn't add another row of subscriptions.
Built for a brand with more than one storefront.
One customer record across every store and the web.
Purchases, points, and history from every location and online resolve to a single profile. A shopper is the same person whether they're at the register in one store or checking out on the app.
Unified loyalty that travels between stores.
One points balance, one tier, earned and redeemed anywhere: in any store or online. No enterprise add-on tier to unlock it, no staff stitching the program together across POS and website.
Stays on your Shopify.
We build on top of the Shopify and Shopify POS you already run. We don't replace your commerce engine; we replace the fragmented stack of loyalty, email, and app-builder add-ons bolted onto it.
Cross-store view of the customer.
Lifetime value across locations, who shops more than one store, what each storefront's regulars actually buy. The reporting your scattered logins can't produce because they never shared a customer list.
Push one change to every storefront.
A promo, a new collection, a price change, a push notification: it goes out across all stores, the website, and the app at once, consistently, because you're sending one message to one team, not editing five tools.
We operate all of it.
Builds, App Store submissions and rejections, content changes, new-store onboarding: handled by our team as part of the monthly fee. Your staff runs the floor, not the software.

Questions multi-store operators ask.
Do we have to leave Shopify?
No. We build on top of the Shopify and Shopify POS you already run. Your products, checkout, inventory, and payments stay exactly where they are. What we replace is the layer bolted on top: the per-store loyalty, email, and app-builder subscriptions. We unify those into one platform that reads from your existing Shopify.
How is this cheaper than our current app stack?
Most multi-store brands run Shopify POS Pro per location (reported around $89/mo each) plus a loyalty app ($199 to $699+/mo), Klaviyo (roughly $150 to $400/mo as profiles grow), and an app builder like Tapcart ($250 to $1,000+/mo). That add-on stack is commonly $400 to $800-plus a month and climbs with store count and profiles. Rehost is one bill by total monthly active users. POS Pro stays on your Shopify side; we collapse the rest into one platform.
How does loyalty work across our stores?
One program, one points balance, one tier per customer, earned and redeemed in any store or online. A shopper who earns points at one location and walks into another is recognized and keeps their balance. With the typical app stack, unified multi-store loyalty is an enterprise-tier feature and still leaves your staff reconciling it across the POS and the website. Here it's the default.
We add and close stores. How does pricing handle that?
It doesn't change per store, because we don't bill per store. Pricing is by total monthly active users: $950/mo up to 2,000 MAU, $1,500/mo up to 10,000, and $2,500/mo up to 50,000. Open location six and nothing new gets added to the bill unless your total active customer base crosses a tier. If you're approaching a ceiling, we reach out before anything changes.
Who actually runs it, and do we own anything?
Our team runs it. Your staff never logs into a loyalty dashboard or an app builder; you send a message and we ship the change across every store. You own everything that matters: the App Store and Google Play accounts, the domain, the code, the Shopify data, and the customer list, all in your business's name. Cancel and we hand it back and the platform turns off; your stores keep running on Shopify.
