Kit (formerly ConvertKit) on Oliver POS

Kit's creator-focused email automations include Oliver POS in-store customers through the standard ConvertKit for WooCommerce sync.

How Kit (formerly ConvertKit) works with Oliver POS for WooCommerce

Kit (the rebrand of ConvertKit) is the email-marketing platform built for creators, indie brands, and direct-to-consumer founders. The ConvertKit for WooCommerce plugin syncs customers and tags them by purchase. Oliver POS captures in-store customers, writes orders into WooCommerce, and the same plugin tags them in Kit — folding counter sales into every existing sequence and broadcast.

What Kit (ConvertKit) pulls from WooCommerce

The ConvertKit for WooCommerce plugin (now branded Kit but still using ConvertKit in the plugin slug) syncs customers from WooCommerce into Kit, tags them by purchased product or category, and can subscribe customers to Kit sequences automatically based on order events.

Kit's data model is built around tags and sequences rather than e-commerce-specific objects. The plugin's job is to translate WooCommerce orders into the right tags and subscriptions.

Why in-store sales matter for Kit

Kit's users are often creators, course founders, and indie brands who started online and are now adding a physical retail presence — a pop-up, a flagship, a wholesale partnership. The whole brand identity lives in Kit, including the email voice and the audience segments. If in-store buyers don't make it into Kit, they get treated like strangers when they come back online.

Push Oliver POS sales through the WooCommerce sync and Kit tags in-store buyers correctly. A counter purchase of a specific product can subscribe the customer to the matching sequence — "You bought X, here's how to use it" — exactly the way an online purchase would.

How the WooCommerce + Oliver + Kit sync works

Cashier rings the sale at the Oliver register, captures the customer with marketing consent, tenders. Oliver writes a WooCommerce order. The ConvertKit for WooCommerce plugin sees the order and runs the rules configured against the products in that order — tag the customer, subscribe them to a sequence, add them to a form. Kit fires the resulting sequence immediately.

Best fit for retailers who…

Kit on Oliver POS is the right call for creator brands, course-and-product hybrids, indie cosmetics, specialty publishers, and any business where the email voice is core to the brand. It's the cleanest path to fold an emerging in-store presence into an audience that grew up on Kit.

Common questions about Kit (formerly ConvertKit) on Oliver POS

Does ConvertKit still exist or is it just Kit now?

It's the same product — Kit is the new brand name. The WordPress.org plugin still uses the ConvertKit slug for compatibility and is still maintained. Oliver POS works with the plugin under either name.

Can a counter purchase of a specific product subscribe the customer to a Kit sequence?

Yes — the plugin lets you map WooCommerce products to Kit tags or sequences. An in-store sale of the mapped product triggers the same subscription as an online sale would.

Does Oliver POS have a partnership with Kit (formerly ConvertKit)?

No. Oliver doesn't partner with Kit (formerly ConvertKit) or any other marketing platform. We support Kit (formerly ConvertKit) because its WooCommerce plugin already syncs customers and orders from your store — and Oliver writes every in-store sale into WooCommerce as a normal order, so the same plugin picks it up automatically. Your account, your data, and your contract stay between you and Kit (formerly ConvertKit).

Does Oliver charge extra to use Kit (formerly ConvertKit)?

No. You pay Kit (formerly ConvertKit)'s standard published pricing directly to Kit (formerly ConvertKit). Oliver doesn't take a markup, doesn't insert itself into the data flow, and doesn't charge a per-contact or per-email fee on top.

Will in-store sales from the Oliver POS register show up in Kit (formerly ConvertKit)?

Yes — instantly. Every Oliver POS sale is written to WooCommerce as a standard order with the customer attached. The Kit (formerly ConvertKit) WooCommerce plugin treats that order the same way it treats an online order: it fires the same webhooks, updates the same customer profile, and triggers the same automations. There's no separate "POS sync" to configure.

How fast does a register sale reach Kit (formerly ConvertKit)?

Real-time. When the cashier closes a sale on the Oliver POS register, the WooCommerce order is created immediately, the Kit (formerly ConvertKit) plugin's webhook fires within seconds, and the customer's Kit (formerly ConvertKit) profile updates with the new order, total spend, and product purchases. The shopper can be on a post-purchase email flow before they've left the store.

Will my online and in-store customer profiles merge in Kit (formerly ConvertKit)?

Yes. Oliver POS attaches the WooCommerce customer to every register sale — either by looking up an existing customer by email or phone, or by creating a new WooCommerce customer at the counter. Kit (formerly ConvertKit) keys off the same WooCommerce customer ID, so a shopper who buys online on Monday and at the counter on Friday is one profile with one purchase history.
