United States · city guide
LA boutiques live close to the source: the Fashion District sells wholesale downtown while Melrose and Abbot Kinney sell to the people who wear it. BoutiquePOS handles both sides with price groups, size runs and stock that matches online and in store.
Yes. BoutiquePOS fits Los Angeles boutiques, from Fashion District wholesalers to Melrose and Venice retailers. You set the sales tax rate for each store's city, keep wholesale and retail prices side by side, track each size and color as its own SKU, print labels and sell the same stock online.
Los Angeles is unusual because many boutique owners are also makers or wholesalers. A label may sell by the dozen to other stores from a downtown showroom on weekdays and sell single pieces at retail on weekends, so one catalog has to carry two prices and two kinds of customer.
Sales tax in LA County is not one number. Rates differ between the City of Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Culver City and other cities, and California taxes clothing at the full rate. A brand with a downtown showroom and a Venice shop can easily end up charging the wrong rate at one of them.
Weather and tourism shape the calendar more than in colder cities. Swim and resort wear sell well into autumn, Melrose and Venice draw visitors every weekend, and much of the selling happens on Instagram, which means the stock count on your phone has to match the rail.
Local setup tips
Set the combined rate for each location's city, since a Santa Monica or Culver City shop can differ from a DTLA showroom. Check current rates with the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration or your accountant.
Use selling price groups so showroom buyers see your wholesale price and a walk-in shopper sees retail, without duplicating products.
Set a pack or dozen as a sub-unit so a wholesale order of a size-run pack deducts the right number of pieces from stock.
Store each wholesale buyer as a customer in a trade group with their reseller details in notes, so the cashier knows which sales are wholesale.
