Point of Sale

Printing receipts direct from sale has at times not gone without hiccups, we have worked around by going back into orders and printed from there.

Yes, I am very happy with the setup or the system and the process - but not so happy with the equipment...I have had a number of issues with the equipment not working properly - especially the chip reader

We are an omni channel, multi-store chain B&M+ online. Lied to by Shopify. Their platform has grave feature gaps, not suitable for any merchant beyond a home biz. For example, the product fields have weight, but not dimensions. So they claim that we can connect our UPS discounts but that's not true since you need package dims, eh? Also, the COGS of any given product DOES NOT update when receiving new inventory at a higher/lower cost. One simply re-calculates the new weighted COGS for each product shipment in excel and types that in, ugh. Also their PLUS, at $2000/month, does not allow the POS to talk to the eCommerce. So any price or quantity changes would have to be re-keyed for their pro package, total falsehood that their platforms are integrated.

so far good but i have one major issue with the app.

the shopify pos only shows a certain amount of sold items on the screen. If a customer purchases e.g. 13 different items the pos won't list all 13 items, only 10 items. This is a major issue and needs to be fixed as staff won't be able to check if they have charged correctly. I hope this can be fixed so I can give it a 5 star

Terrible system for retail. While Shopify has an excellent ecommerce platform their POS is lacking many basic features, is very limited as to what can integrate and the hardware is simply junk. Their card readers never stay connected, they never have hardware in stock so be sure to buy 2 of everything when they do have it or you will be forced to do manual card entry at an inflated fee as well as adding time to every card transaction. The worst part is they do not seem to care to make any real updates. Every forced update they send just causes more bugs and more issues. We are currently looking for a new system due to their lack of performance.

Just beware that if you close your store or POS, don't just uninstall the POS app if you are paying for Pro. They will keep charging you and there is no obvious way to remove the charge. After a long time and eventually chatting with a human advisor, you have to re-install the app and then go in to the location and downgrade the app to the Lite version, which will then be free. I assume after that then you can uninstall it, but perhaps wait for a billing cylce or two to ensure that you are no longer being charged before you uninstall it. That will save you 1. being charged monthly until ou realize this, and 2. hours of your life trying to figure this out and reinstall the app!

Shopify POS makes my life as a vendor simple. Very intuitive and easy to use. Great Application.

I use the Pro version and find it easy to use. I would however LOVE to see the app being released for Mac computers etc instead of only tablets.

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

What a scam cant even cancel this POS App and subscription
