Important: This service was previously called Pointy, and it's now fully integrated into Google. The Pointy box is now the product reader, and the Pointy app is now the Local Inventory app.
Add in-store products to Google automatically
Stores with a Business Profile can add in-store products to Google in 2 ways:
- The Local Inventory app for your point of sale system: You can use the app with many point of sale (POS) systems, like Clover, Square, and Lightspeed. If the app isn’t available for your system, you can use a product reader.
