# Introduction

retailQ is an analytics platform that connects your data across commerce platforms like Shopify or Square, ad platforms like Google Ads or Meta, and web analytics from Google Analytics.

## What makes retailQ different?

* **No limits.** Individual apps, like Shopify and Google Analytics, are limited in what they let you do. For example, in Shopify you can only have one dashboard.
* **No set up.** Once you connect retailQ to your data, we sync it, create 200+ metrics and dimensions, and allow you to start getting insights immediately. Other tools require your data team to manually connect your data and build all the metrics manually
* **Cross-platform insights.** In retailQ you can easily combine data from multiple sources, such as customer acquisition cost (CAC) or Return On Ad Spend (ROAS).
* **Multi-store support.** Combine data across platforms, accounts or stores and see it all in one place. Some of our customers have connected over 30 different Shopify stores, which they previously managed separately
