Point of Sale

Great app for taking in person order with my iPhone or iPad. I don't use it for a retail store so i can't comment on how it works with hardware like cash register, scanner, etc. But with the card read it works great.

After using the Chase Bank tap and chip card reader, Shopify is the easies and most reliable thing out there.

Great functioning app, good visualisation for check-out and smooth connection with the online store. Very happy with it

The app is perfect, except for one thing. You can not exchange a product in POS Lite. To be able to exchange an item, you need to upgrade to Pro, for 85$, just to have that one feature, and that I feel is too much.

It's great how the free version can get you very far without the upgrade. There should be more price range between lite and pro. The only feature I find missing with the shopify lite is the option to return items and refund. I find it quite steep to pay extra 89$ for that option.

We tested it out and have decided to hold off on this app for the following reasons:

1. No customer credit capability. We need a way to give customers credit in their account. This will also help us tie in our online store with the POS by allowing customers to redeem their credit either via the website or in store using the POS system.
2. No way to exchange products
Update: Shoppify POS support told us that exchanged can be made, however, it really isn't an exchange at all. We will have to manually refund the items for exchange to a store credit, complete the order, THEN repurchase the new items with the store credit. So really, Shopify POS still does not support exchanges. I have not been able to verify this as our trial ran out.
3. No way to assign product cost to each product, thus making it impossible to keep track of inventory cost.
Update: Support staff informed us that the app DeepMine has the ability to assign cost to each product and variation. Although this is A solution, this basic feature really should be built right into the the product information as an extra attribute in the first place. We have paid for DeepMine in order to assign costs to our products, however, it is still in beta state, and the interface is a huge pain in the ass to use.
4. Unable to assign customers to customer groups for predefined discount rates.
5. No visible notes field for each customer that is visible before clicking in to the customer's profile. This needs to be visible on the same screen when displaying a search result of customers.
6. Super clumsy interface. Image size needs to be customizable to allow for much smaller image. Also, the POS system needs to provide a No Image option, that displays a top down alphabetical list.
7. Cost is too high for a product this basic.

We didn't have time to explore this app further as there were too many features missing in the app for us to put the efforts in to fully testing it out. Hope the app is completed with these features so that we can switch over from another platform.

Product search 'engine' not particularly 'smart' or intuitive. Exact name will often NOT have that product come up first in search results.

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

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!

Facile d'utilisation, vraiment un système plug & operate.
