Point of Sale

Helping us run a bricks and mortar store linked to our online inventory, greatly saving us paperwork and reconciliation

This app has been perfect for our needs. Collect peoples money for each purchase reliably at an event. We don't need extra stuff.

I am disappointed I will now have to pay for features I do not use just to keep the few I do use. Here is a feature I need that is currently not available on PRO but should be.
I cannot partially fulfill an order for in-store pick up. I can if the items are being shipped, but not if the customer is local. If a customer pre orders a holiday item plus adds in stock items to their cart, I cannot fill only the in-stock items and leave the holiday item as partially filled like you can when an item ships.
I am sad Shopify is making the change during our busy season. Please wait until February when retail is slower. I really cannot absorb the additional fees this year. Your timing could be better.
Updated 11/1/20: The new POS Lite is too limitting but POS pro is too much for my little shop. I occasionally need to exchange an item for a customer, ship to customers who are in quarantine, and use Stocky. I do not need the other features and do want to pay for them. Now I need to look at dropping the apps I use to make up for the difference. Do you have a free label making app? I love Lucky Orange, but they may get bumped. Your timing is horrible. Now I need to look around for another POS.

I used the POS app for my first vendor event this weekend, and it went SO WELL. From being able to quickly create custom orders to balancing my cash at the end of the day, it worked exactly how I expected it to without a struggle every time. My only issue was that my card reader (the shopify chipper X something?) didn't stay connected. That could have been our issue with shady wifi or crabby bluetooth on my ipad, but it definitely wasn't enough to keep us from using it again.

Good for light usage, we have not experienced and problems as at Bikini Luxe we do 99 percent of our sales online. I can not comment on many of the other problems being commented on here as we have not experienced them. Overall Shopify has been one of our best experiences in retail their customer service alone speaks volumes about this company!

We have been using the POS system for 5 months now, along with the Wisepad 3. It's a terrible device. Every time customers want to pay, a mandatory update has to be performed, which can only be done if the battery is above 50%. Moreover, an update takes as long as 10 minutes.

So, think carefully before purchasing this product with a Wisepad.

Wir verwenden diese App nun bereits 1 Jahr lang, aber seitdem tut sich wenig bei den Verbesserungen. Das UI könnte viel mehr Anpassungen gebrauchen, z. B. die Größen der Kachel, die UX ist wenig intuitiv. Dazu wird uns seit Wochen immer wieder eingeblendet, dass TSE nicht aktiv ist. Die Z-Bons zeigen selten die richtigen Umsätze, immer wieder fallen Kartenzahlungen hinten runter. Alles in allem leider kein verlässliches System. Wir werden uns eine Alternative suchen

I used PRO during the trial for the first few months, switched to classic which was simple and did everything I needed it to do. Now the lite feature is useless as I can't create just POS accounts without paying for their service. Don't need to fulfill or create orders or anything special, just checkout customers and have inventory and revenue show up in our Shopify system. Basically now to make it usable you need to pay the monthly fee, per each location, to use it as a register. The old was better because you could pull up a collection of products and add from it. In this upgrade version each time you open a collection and add an item, you get taken back to the main screen, so you have to keep opening and adding it. If people want new features and want to pay for them, that is fine for both parties. However taking away POS only accounts, custom receipts, and other options previously available and putting them behind a paywall is not innovative or helpful in anyway.

The latest version of the App is absolute trash. Our staff hate it...completely confusing and time consuming when you have a customer waiting. Bring back the old version!

This may be the only POS on the market without a function to "leave a TIP" for the employee ringing up the order. While we do sell online retail, we offer barbering services, sharpening, etc.. in our brick and mortar store and are unable to let customers leave a tip on their credit card on this POS, and with more and more people not carrying cash, it looks like we may need to switch POS systems before our staff keeps getting upset that they are losing tips. Other than that, it is a smooth POS integration system, but the lack caring enough to add a simple function is why this POS is not ideal for anyone selling anything other than products. If you run a service, beverage, or food company then you definitely need to shop elsewhere for a POS.
