Point of Sale

Shopify sells you this app with certain features, then at a whim, and with no notice to the users, takes away those features and functions. It is routinely changed (with no notice) so that you end up with multiple errors at the check out and constantly have to re-train staff, and re-work all your processes.

As an example, the save cart feature (which they still advertise as available) is gone. The 'improvement' is clunky, hard to use, and full of bugs. They removed the one button to search for a client in your system to assign to a sale. They introduced a bug where the cursor jumps in the middle of you typing. They changed the only good thing they had (their search engine) so now it tries to auto correct your spelling, for names!

This is just the most recent in a long line of frustrating choices by the devs at Shopify. Their careers page actually shows you they *encourage* their staff to change fast and create chaos. It's literally their value set and culture - to make sure that there is no stable system for users. We actively search for other pos systems routinely, and will continue to search until we find something that is better or Shopify finally listens to its user base and corrects this poorly designed system. We feel trapped and lied to. Go read the user forums before you decide to use this system.

This is really the best way to collect sales for your shop in person. Tip, if you use a qr code generator for the product sku and create labels with that, the pos app will read it just fine to pull your items for the sale. Honestly, it's faster than using a standard bar code to read it.

My only main complaint is that it always requires internet access. This is great 9/10 times. However, vendors like us who often sell at Ren Faires in the middle of some field somewhere where the cell phone tower was never meant to handle the types of volume that are suddenly thrust upon it, I am forced to use a backup payment terminal (square). I would give this 5 stars if true offline processing with cached store data was something that could be integrated.

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

I love Shopify, making the switch over has been amazing, I have made all my girlfriends with shops convert too! Point of Sale is great, I wish there was a way though to mark items on sale directly from an iPad, instead of getting on to the Shopify website on a computer, and also show how much a discount is on each individual item, instead of just showing the amount off at the bottom total. but besides that, its amazing

1. The app won't integrate with any other card reader other than their Stripe machine. We spent $500 on their machine only to realise it doesn't accept Eftpos cards, which is New Zealand's most popular debit card.
2. There is no way to process an In-Store pick up through POS. We have customers come into store daily who want to order special items in however there is no way to create an order in POS with a button to notify the customer that their order is ready for collection In-Store.
3. The app does not display product SKU's when searching for items. This makes it very difficult to search for products by SKU as it only displays the Size/Colour etc and often results in our staff selling an incorrect product.
4. There is no way to refund orders to store credit, only a gift voucher which messes with our accounting system.
5. There is no way for our warehouse to "Fulfil" an order on the POS Go device. So when customers come in to collect their order, they have to log in to the desktop version to fulfil an order.
I have contacted Shopify multiple times about these issues and they couldn't care less. They keep releasing "Updates" but don't actually include any of the necessary features that people are actually asking for.

Nach über 20 Jahren Erfahrung mit Kassensystemen habe ich endlich eine POS-Lösung gefunden die den Alltag im Handel extrem vereinfacht.
Die App ist Einfach, Intuitiv, stabil, bietet alles was man im Alltag braucht und noch etliche nützliche Features darüber hinaus. Multichannel ist nicht länger ein wünschenswerter Gedanke sondern wird mit Shopify POS ohne Hürden umgesetzt.
Unser Team und unsere Kunden sind jeden Tag aufs neue begeistert!
Es gibt nichts Besseres.

Love the app; simple to use, can look back on customer orders and notes; easy connection to card swipe devices. Just wish there was a way to send quick notes en masse to my clients without having to pay for another app to use the data I've collected.

After using other POS systems, I was quite pleased with Shopify! To be honest, there have been a few challenging moments, however, they were resolved quickly by Shopify. I have mixed feelings about the a la cart apps, but at the end of the day, I like having a pletheroa of options to build my store the way I want it to be. There is room for improvement, but from what I’ve seen these past 2 years, Shopify is continually working to create a POS system that is innovative, easy to use, and ahead of the game!

While my experience with Shopify POS has generally been positive, there are a couple of challenges. The barcode reading feature doesn't always work smoothly, and I've noticed that tap pay often disables itself. Additionally, toggling back and forth between functions seems to generate false abandoned carts, which can be a bit frustrating. It's worth noting that these issues seem to be affecting my business, so I'd appreciate any insights or solutions to improve these aspects of the system.

Prior to Shopify FOH our online retail and in store retail were 2 different channels. This meant no data was being shared across and also no integrated payments. Since using Shopify FOH we have grown our customer database and our direct sales from our newsletter database has doubled over the first year.
