Point of Sale

we were on the Shopify Plus subscription for a year and cancelled. Shopify Plus comes with the feature of Shopify POS Pro and we did not have this feature prior to being on Shopify Plus. A few months after being cancelled from Shopify Plus, Shopify just decided to activate Shopify POS Pro on three of our stores with NO authorization. I'm trying to run my business not take hours of my time to have you reverse a feature you place on my three stores without our authorization.

Usd $89 for this? We are small businesses, You Big. We pay you monthly usd $ 79 and usd $ 200-500, per transactions (done by computer and bots). Could It be an plus for your costumers? Big companies are bigger when they add worth to their clients. 1- This POS is not working with any Bluetooth printer, Shopify say that You must have to buy to them the printer, 2021 it isnot logical.
2- This POS does not work on Computers.
3- This POS is not customize , taxes are the same that online store. No available to change (taxes online and taxes POS).
4- Stocky is not work in free plan.
5- The idea pos and online as one, is a lie. We must pay online and pay POS too.
6- This POS does not work with all barcode reader. Only few businesses companies.

I'm pretty disappointed with Shopify POS since the so called Pos upgrade. In a nutshell I have found nothing to improve my experience with the upgrades. On top of that i'm now paying $90.00 Month more for what I had before. Costs have more than doubled people. I'm feeling shafted by Shopify. Also the live view is a waste of time. I told i have "Live Visitors" but when you click on the map it's impossible to find such a visitor, if there ever was one.
I used to love This platform once. Now I'm actively looking for a better option

It doesn't work with customized products, neither with 99% of the apps of Shopify... So much to improve in this POs to be aligned with website services.
Not recommended at all for restaurant businesses with variety of products and customisable dishes.

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.
1st 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.
2nd Update 8/21/2024 Shopify POS still sucks. During POS transactions we are creating customers and they are immediately dropped from the sale. I try to add them back to the transaction, but it can't find them. We try creating them again, but get the error message that the email already exists. So the customer exists but can't be found when wanting to add them to the sale??? Shopify support says this is a known issue and to just create the customer first. Previous support gaslit me into thinking this was some unique issue and wanted me to provide VIDEO of it randomly happening. It's not the first time support has run me in circles only to find out that it's actually a known issue.

Really disappointed with this app. It's not for proper business. You cannot edit/change prices, no proper end of day reporting for balancing till. we're now looking for a better provider

Changed my pin to log in to Shopify settings, pos, but now I can't get into my pos go. What's going on? It's as if the Shopify settings don't connect to Shopify pos go. The Shopify pos for my iPhone doesn't work either. I log in then it asks me for the location and when I add the location and try to continue nothing happens. The screen doesn't move forward or backward. Left wondering, why am I spending and losing so much money with this company.

Skip this POS. There are apps that you can get which will help, but if you want to run a real business, with many SKUs and a staff that cares about numbers and inventory, or, you know, if you care abut these things, skip this for now. It may be ready in a few years, but it doesn't even really integrate with your Shopify Admin. If all you want it for is the occasional pop up it will do you fine, but it's irresponsible of them to sell it as a viable trustworthy, business focused POS at this stage.

We had POS classic system for years which suited our business perfectly. I recently switched to the POS Pro Trial due to Classic being obsolete soon so I could re-train my staff now Shopify want $89/ month / terminal. WTF I have 4 stores that will cost me a fortune. If they charged $89/ month ONLY I would have signed up but at $356/month US to AUD it's $496/month sorry but absolutely no way. Now I have reverted back to POS Lite and this thing now is totally inadequate for my business they basically ripped all the features out of POS Classic and put it into POS Pro just so you have to pay for it now. Exchange button GONE,
Save the cart GONE. Staff Permissions GONE.
Sorry Shopify you screwed up a very good product just to make more revenue out of small businesses. Unless you revert back I will be serching for a new POS system ASAP.

Very disappointing that Shopify would release this update before working out the major flaws in this system. We are in our busiest time of year (when we also have temporary employees working) and we have spent hours trying to figure out our own way of getting around the issues as our phone calls to customer service have revealed that it will probably be a while before most of the issues are fixed. It is EMBARRASSING in front of customers when we cannot even issue a return or it credits them back inadvertantly and we have to ask them to pay again. Not to mention that when you print a "gift receipt"- a whole list of everything the person purchased prints onto the receipt. Who wants someone to know what all they purchased or if they are giving 15 people the same gift. How special does that feel? Very BASIC procedures are no longer possible. You cannot start a return unless you find the original order in the system- which doesn't work when someone is bringing back a gift. This new PRO POS is eating away at our productivity. We have had more calls into the support line in the last 2 weeks than the whole time we have used shopify. The home screen is nothing like the previous version where you could "see" your store and you basically do not have a menu driven system. Very poor decision on Shopify's part to launch this prematurely. We are disappointed as shopify charges alot of money for subscriptions, fees, and credit card processing.
