Point of Sale

We’ve been with Shopify for several years now for our website & POS. Prior to Shopify we used 2 very popular and highly noted POS platforms both with pros & cons & both costing more than Shopify’s upgraded version. We switched our 13 yr old Brick & Mortar over to Shopify’s POS platform approx. 4yrs ago and have been relatively pleased with our decision. In our experience, anytime a new upgrade is rolled out with any platform there has always been growing pains and it never seems to be at the right time. What I do know is that in our 4 yrs of using Shopify’s POS many of the upgrades they have implemented is a direct result of listening to the customer. Can they do more, absolutely. Let us all remind ourselves with this pandemic how we’ve had to change direction in the blink of an eye including Shopify. Trying to keep up with an influx of demand can be daunting even for the big guys.

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

It is easy to navigate and use. I really like that Shopify offers a tutorial for every possible question a new (or experienced) merchant may have. The only drawback I have was that not all my items showed up when I tried to scan the barcode, so I had to enter the item in under a custom sale. Other than that one issue, everything is wonderful!

The POS app is much better than some I've tried and works well with my eCom site that is also run by Shopify. Customer service is excellent. There are still some improvements to be made before I'm able to award 5*, especially as it is a fairly expensive system it feel it should be a little more seamless and a few things need to be ironed out, such as exchanges and refunds, but overall I do believe Shopify to be the best omni-channel option available on the market.

POS is a simple way of using a shop till. It syncs brilliantly with your E-Store and is pretty seamless. I think over time it will improve, such as more sophisticated options with customers purchases such as accounts, credit limits etc. Also be careful of discounts, we found it was easy to make mistakes and charge the customer wrong amounts. We've overcome that now.

The POS is easy to use and has allowed us to better sell our items. We are now selling without issues and have ordered the Shopify Card Reader.

Lässt sich recht gut mit arbeiten, nur beim Checkout fehlt mir eine komfortable Funktion (die jetzige Trinkgeldfunktion ist zu umständlich), um den vom Kunden erhöhten Endbetrag ("Trinkgeld") einzugeben und darauf basierend dann die (schon vorhandenen) Wechselgeld-Infos zu erhalten.
Alles in allem würde ich aber sagen, dies ist "Jammern auf hohem Niveau" ;-)

The inventory management is a little cumbersome and I would like to be able to get snapshot views of how much inventory we have at any given moment

This review is an update to Shopify POS. We now are starting to use the Shopify POS app as our only POS tool. Its working great with being able to print barcodes and receipts. Good thing about the receipt printing is we use a USB Star printer and its hooked up to our Apple Airport Extreme which allows it to print from our iPad without needing the LAN version of the printer. So far so good, its working out and the features are helping us customize it for how we need to use it.

I really like this interface and is something I have been hoping for. Stripe needs to go though with taking over the whole site. A week to get paid and won't let us ecig merchants sell online. I'd rather use Square for the POS app and let my cc processor run the site. If I decide to keep it, I'll just except square via its own app running a separate cc scan in Square.
