Does Music Shop Suite replace Music Shop 360 completely?

No. If you need integrated payment processing and deep retail POS features, keep your terminal. We handle the back office: inventory, rentals, repairs, lessons, and accounting.

Can I import my Music Shop 360 data?

We support CSV import for inventory, clients, and transactions. If you can export a spreadsheet, you can bring it into Music Shop Suite.

Is this only for small shops?

We are built for independent music stores — typically 1 to 10 staff. If you need multi-location enterprise features, Music Shop 360 may be a better fit.

Music Shop 360 alternative

A Lighter Alternative to Music Shop 360 for Independent Music Stores

Music Shop 360 is a powerful retail POS built for music stores. If you need a full payment terminal with deep retail features, it may be the right fit. Music Shop Suite is different: it is a back-office operating system built for shops that run on serialized inventory, rentals, repairs, and lessons — with accounting that actually reflects how a music shop works.

Serialized inventory: every instrument tracked by serial, condition, cost, and history
Rentals and repairs as core workflows, not add-ons
Lesson scheduling with student and teacher views
Exportable P&L, inventory value, and turnover reports
Free during beta. No terminal hardware required.

Serialized inventory, not just SKUs

Music shops sell one-of-a-kind instruments. A 1962 Strat and a 2023 Strat are not the same product — they have different serials, different wear, different cost basis, and different stories. We track every unit individually.

Per-instrument serial, condition, and photo log
Cost basis and sale price per unit
Full history: purchases, loans, repairs, sales

Rentals and repairs are first-class

School rentals, customer loans, and repair tickets are not afterthoughts. They have their own dashboards, intake forms, status flows, and reporting — built the way music shops actually run them.

Accounting that matches your shop

Sales, rentals, repairs, and lessons all flow into one ledger. Your P&L sees every revenue stream and your inventory value updates as stock moves. Export to CSV or PDF for your accountant.

Simple enough to start today

No hardware to buy, no vendor integrations to configure. Import your existing spreadsheet, add your stock, and start tracking. Most shops are up and running in under an hour.

Honest note

Honest note: we are not a replacement for every feature.

Music Shop 360 includes payment processing, integrated vendor catalogs, and deep retail POS features. Music Shop Suite does not process payments and does not replace your terminal. We are the system that sits behind it — where your instruments, loans, repairs, lessons, and accounting live. If your biggest pain is serialized inventory, rental contracts, repair tickets, and getting clean reports for your accountant, that is the gap we fill.
