When I was new to owning my business, the onboarding experience was linear in its educational progression so I did not feel overwhelmed by the amount of information I was taking in. > > **Cons**: 1) When my son and I offered suggestions for ideas we wanted/needed to make our business streamlined to us, we received minimal feedback that didn't make me feel valued as a customer. An explanation as to why something wasn't appropriate or considered important would have served us better. We came from a Word Press environment where every solution was a la carte. 2) It is difficult to find answers to some of the questions I have had when using the search bar. So, I have given up. If I don't have the key words, I can't find my solution. > > My overall experience has been very good. I can manage my business with an adequate level of proficiency. More recently, when I have been in the zoom sessions, I have come to realize that I am not utilizing all of the Like Sew capabilities. I know I need to understand more of what I don't know. ----- ### "Like Sew meets all our needs PLUS" — 5.0/5 > **Sheila** | *19 May 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We are a small retail fabric shop who did everything manually before like sew. Like Sew has turned out to be much more than i ever hoped for. The inventory management is incredible. Our checkout system has improved 100%. The margin of error by clerks has dropped dramatically. The value for the money is amazing. Customer support is very good and i am extremely satisfied with this companys provisions for all our needs > > **Cons**: There is nothing negative to say about this company and their product. There were times we needed help to understand our suggest a need but the support and desire to meet our every need is always quickly addressed. > > Our experience with Like Sew has been amazing. It's like a dream come true for our company. They met all our needs plus always willing to do more and listen to suggesting to better their product and services. ----- ### "Tailored for fabric shops but lacking in critical areas" — 3.0/5 > **Denise** | *4 June 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: It’s web-based and therefore accessible anytime, anywhere. It’s easy to use, particularly as a register. Inventory management is adequate. > > **Cons**: The website function is primitive. Design is poor with limited templates. All LikeSew websites look the same and certain changes must be made by the tech team which is inefficient. Editing functions lack drag and drop. It still uses a table format for adding photos which results in wonky looking pages. The email and mailing list functions are useless, so I need to pay extra for Constant Contact. Setting up sales and coupons is extremely limited. > > I feel trapped. As a POS it has some nice features for fabric shops such as assembling precuts and kits. The main reason I use it is for fractional yardage. Tech support is lacking. The support people who answer the phone are just gatekeepers who often cannot help with solutions on the spot. When a solution isn’t found on the spot, it may take weeks or even months to get an answer by email. Seldom have I gotten a call back. Unfortunately their integration with Shopify renders many of LikeSew’s best features, such as class registration, unusable. And of course the Shopify fees and app add-ons increase monthly cost yet again. The bottom line: LS is very good at some pos functions and the back end. It’s not good as a marketing and public-facing solution. ----- ### "Like Sew Review" — 4.0/5 > **Hartland** | *27 May 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Server is online and we do not need to maintain a server on site. Ease of use for new hires, comprehensive features including online purchases, classes, email marketing, and purchase order system. Support is available and completes tickets pretty quickly. The monthly charge is very reasonable and they do not nickel and dime charge for additional features. > > **Cons**: Server is online and when it does not work we are basically not able to function. We had a major outage with AWS once in 2 years. We have occasional slowdowns or certain features that will not work for unknown reasons. The system has a difficult time with reporting large samples of data like a year's sales at a time or a large department. Generally service comes back quickly and we can recover without too much hassle or loss. I will admit that we ask a lot of the system, especially one running on a browser with features rivaling enterprise systems at a much higher cost. > > Good. It has improved our business and ability to run a medium size fabric store with modern features for managing 16,000 in stock skus at a time. ----- ### "Integration between Online and Point of Sale a plus\!" — 4.0/5 > **Sandra** | *20 May 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the integration between point of sale and online store making inventory management accurate. It is user friendly and easy to teach to team members. > > **Cons**: There are minor changes I would like to see made and have made suggestions but they are not critical to day-to-day operations. > > Overall it has been a very positive experience. I have been a customer for many years, initially for my online shop running my poit of sale retail store through a different program. 7 Years ago we switched to using Like Sew for both online and point of sale and what a difference\!\! I am so glad that I made the switch. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/449886/Like-Sew?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/449886/Like-Sew) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
