Point of Sale

Thank you

Do not get the POS if you run anything more than a coffee shop. We have Shopify Online and it's great. We did the full onboarding, full training. All our staff to come to find out the sales girl for shopify POS was straight lying about it capabilities. Elana Baum. Who still won't return my emails. Shopify POS literally can't do anything without APPs which are extremely expensive per month. Even the apps are terrible. If they are under 200.00 a month don't waste your time. That's right. Soooo expensive. Shopify POS cant do the following= Layaways, Special Orders, dropships, store credit managment, customer account managment, staff sales and commission, Barcode creation with print list. When you get inventory in, you have to manually go in and print each tag even after you have submitted the entire purchase order. REALLY? the real meaning of POS. What a waste of time and a huge amount of money. Now we are all fixing the inventory one by one. GO use Lightspeed with all the capabilities and cheaper CC rates.

I have removed this app and still (two months) getting billed 89 a month. I need this to stop or I will shut down the site completely.

If I could give this zero stars, I really would. It's a shame to give this terrible mistake of a Point of Sale even 1 star. We were using quickbooks POS without any problems, then we were recommended to Shopify, and wow, what a let down. The e-commerce is fine, however, if you own a brick and mortar DO NOT USE THIS!!! It is incredibly limited in it applications and you have the mind-numbing pleasure of learning with the Shopify team on the shortcomings - which means the solution is a third party app that costs anywhere from $5-$20/month.

The worst experience using Shopify POS. I use it for EVENTS in all different locations in the US. I am using Chipper 2X BT and this is the advanced one with no capability of capturing customer signature and also does not automatically capture key information like name THEREFORE, the customer can just say item not bought after buying it and then dispute it later. Plus for the charge back WE HAVE TO PROVIDE EVIDENCE which the system does not capture. So good luck with dealing with all the FRAUD that happens. Shopify will reimburse the customer without a word with the business owner plus take an additional fee for it.
Now I am left with dealing with getting information on a POS direct sale without any help.

Unable to add variable priced products or sell products by unit of measurement, slow, clunky - much much better POS options out there.

We followed the steps of setting up card reader. We paired with one device, worked one time. We have been desperately trying to get it to work by following the troubleshooting steps to no avail. We have contacted the hardware-store@ and have gotten the run around, where told there is a firm 30 day refund policy. Not only is it disappointing to have a faulty device but to also receive bad customer service makes it extra painful. Shopify already charges an arm and a leg. Feel insulted at this point.

QUERO TER MAIS EXPERIENCIA.

Terrible experience trying to migrate my existing QB data. Don't listen to the sales people that will tell you how simple and automated the process will be. Two months later I'm doing it all myself the hard way. The hardware is all Apple so be ready to replace everything if currently a PC user. It's just like the regular Shopify platform in that several basic and obvious features are lacking and might only be overcome with another app. Want to save a customer cart in POS and later open it to complete the sale on a different pos device? There's an app for that.

Update: I am a pro subscriber and know I can save the cart on one POS device, but it's not possible to reopen that cart on a DIFFERENT POS device.

Update #2: The hardware sucks. You'll need to repeatedly reconnect your tap/chip card reader to the ipad for no reason. Multiple times per day. Did you know that their system doesn't even support card swipes?
