Ponto de venda

We do not recommend this app.
Recent changes to the app were not implemented with us (shop owners) in mind. It was cumbersome and didn’t work correctly leaving our customers sitting at the counter…waiting…while we tried to ‘correct’ or re-enter their order! It seems the developers are not familiar with how shop owners utilized this app and install upgrades without warning, that do not work correctly and create bad data. Support for this app is sub-standard. It took about 6 weeks for a resolution to one of the issues and then created another. We have been using it for years and it had been pretty good.
Currently it barely deserves a one-star.

I regret having to leave a negative review for Shopify POS. Our experience has been terrible. We needed a system to consolidate our inventory in one place, and despite the bad reviews, we decided to give it a try anyway. Unfortunately, the negative reviews were right. It's disappointing to see a big company like Shopify unable to fix their POS issues. We've lost numerous sales because their hardware wasn't working properly. Now, the system is completely dead, and according to their support, we have to wait 48 hours for a resolution. TERRIBLE.

IT'S DEFINITELY A POS. Hangs constantly and has way too many bugs. Really terrible and tough to get help. We got the overpriced docking station hoping it would help to have everything connected but it doesn't.
Shopify should be embarrassed.

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.

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.

Pessima app. Non è assolutamente un POS completo, ci sono tantissime lacune e spesso presenta dei bug al checkout. Inoltre è limitato in tutte le sue funzioni. Esperienza terribile non lo consiglio a NESSUNO.

I have been using the free version for 2 years. Although it wasn't perfect, it did the job. The last couple of months have been terrible, but even worse, the last week or so. Completely unusable. So slow. The time it take to do a product search is way too long and the lagging is terrible. I can honestly say, it is not fit for purpose. Customers are waiting too long. The extra steps to add something to the cart and no more 'save cart' is very disappointing. I would not recommend this app to anyone in it's current state. Side note - When using an IPAD, if you connect a barcode scanner via bluetooth, the keyboard disappears. If you have variables, you still have to go into the product and select it, but you cannot because there is no keyboard.

The advertised POS Terminal with the PRO subscription; turned out to be the now discontinued POS Go with a disabled barcode scanner and Dock...As a hopeful pop-up market vendor working with a catalogging system for efficient turn-around. This was disappointing;

- Automated Discounts should 100% be available to LITE users.. It's not any more special than adding a tile to the POS device..
- Cancellations should be more accessible..

I will not be making an international call that will cost more time and money likely to be asked "to return the hardware and call back".

The product page for the Terminal need to clearly specify - These devices are upcycled retro-grade hardware. I made a concise decision based on mixed information and was very much under impression I had a functioning POS terminal with alot of features; not a glorified Customer Display Unit.

It's my genuine hope that many of these problems can be addressed and that more support for Third Party systems out of preference and commercial flexibility can be added.

I hope I can reach someone before they make the same mistake we did. If you are just starting out, or are running a very small operation, 1 to 2 locations, this POS would be an excellent choice. If you have more than 2 locations, have a lot of inventory, lots of employees, or already have a more robust POS, this app is not for you. It is very limited, and after you pay for the apps that will make it less limited but still very lacking, you will be paying more than your old POS. Shopify Online is amazing. Shopify POS needs so much work.

Got this app for free as part of Shopify plus. When we downgraded to shopify standard Shopify decided it would be ok to start billing us for it. We've never agreed to any kind of paid plan for this app, but Shopify have been billing us for over 12 months before we'd noticed. They don't want to refund us for an app we never agreed to pay for so I guess we're taking them to court.
