Point of Sale

I'm disappointed we're having to switch over to a paid POS system just to retain the existing functionality offered with the previous App. It wouldn't be so bad if we were getting more value out of it but, none of the features they've introduced are particularly useful in a retail setting. I would happily trade in the ability to customize my home screen for the ability to process refunds in a practical manner. I hesitate to say but, it even appears that we will be losing value from the time it's going to take to parse out all of the nuanced differences and retrain my staff. Navigation in general is not intuitive for users of the previous app. The verbiage has for the most part completely changed and is not in-line with the standards set by other POS systems. The cashout is confusing. All in all, it seems like a product designed by software engineers for software engineers and not retail salespeople. If you are in a situation where you do not need to rely on the Shopify POS for inventory management I would not recommend it. As of 10/17/2020 - Back with more observations... The product search is indexed is completely differently from the previous POS and the shopify online store App. For example: Searching for a popular product we sell called "Delice" now pulls up search results for every single item on our online store with the word "delicate" in the description. For most use cases this sort of thing is probably pretty edge but we have hundreds of SKUs and delicate is a pretty common adjective in the wine/fine food industry. There is also a relatively significant delay in applying tax to the total cost of sales which is leading to a lot of cash out errors during peak periods. Also note none of your configuration from the previous version of the app (such as payment method settings) will carry over. Between the new monthly cost and the time I'm spending retraining/figuring out how to make this version of the POS function at the same level of efficiency as the previous one I'm definitely losing money. Downgrading my review to 1 star. Will be switching as soon as I figure out how to manage my inventory without it.

I used this at a pop up show last weekend and it was utter trash! I didn’t have good solid data connection so it wouldn’t accept card payments. I lost so many sales because their offline mode doesn’t accept cards. What the heck, I’m going back to square!

I was built a shopify store and I selected pro after the free trial but I didnt use it as i dont need it. I tried to cancel and I keep getting charged $89 usd per month. i cant seem to cancel . The help centres and pages make it extremely hard to cancel. Not happy

We use Shopify for Emack & Bolio's and Mr Simms. Please see our other reviews regarding the frustrations we have faced over Christmas, our busiest period of the year.

The other 1 to 3 star reviews sum up Shopify POS. It is a poorly thought out platform, lacking in many basic features, but works ok for us when it works.

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

Ich habe diese Point of SALE Shopify App in Zusammenhang mit Plentymarkets benutzt nun habe ich ein Riesen Problem dass wir nämlich keine Artikel bestellt und Aufträge in das Plentymarkets ERP System geschrieben. Ich hoffe es gibt bald eine Lösung. Somit ist die Kasse für uns leider unbrauchbar. Schade

This does not work with something most all businesses have, a computer. You read that right. It only works on tablets and phones. We moved our website over to Shopify after talking with their phone support only to find this out after we launched our site. VERY DISAPPOINTING! The duplicate data entry continues for us.

This is by far the most anoquated and difficult system. Furthermore Shopify should catch up with the times as people have been requesting desktop and pc option since 2016 and earlier. They force you to buy their equipment and it is a joke at best. The industry has moved on from this crappy equipment and so should shopify. Many of shopifys own aps do not work with POS and processes are aweful. We have tried everything to try to get their support but keep getting run around and being told this is not normal issues. LIES

All it does is give me an error message while trying to import my products. Called tech support. Was on the phone with for an hour and they were unable to help. This has been a complete waste of my time. I would give zero stars if it was an option.

The card reader is always asleep. Trying to wake it up by pressing the power button once according to the onscreen message doesnt work. I have to go back or close the app, open it and login into the app again, or check the connection to wifi. Its just so inconsistent. Im thinking of just dropping this POS and move onto Square or Keeping it all on Venmo business and Zelle. You would think Shopify would have this fixed by now since this has been the biggest complaint from all POS users here.
