Point of Sale

Very helpful when I'm doing my vendor markets. Absolutely love it. The card reader does go on sleep mode more than I prefer and I have to fix it quickly when I have an order but other than that, all is well!

BIGGEST ISSUE: Shopify cannot guarantee that the stock for items on the POS is the same as on the back end. Given I display one variant in my store and rely on the software to inform me of availability THIS IS A HUGE FLAW.
I've been using the software for 8 months and raised this issue with shopify some 5 months ago now and the problem persists. They have not been able to solve it in that time and don't see the issue as a particularly grave one. considering the cost to add this to the Shopify plan it is absolute obscene that this is acceptable.

POS just suddenly stopped working for my retail store and the tech was unable to help. Seems like a terribly unreliable system to depend on for your business.

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

I am new to Shopify recently opening my store. I loved that I could take credit card payments locally and got the free e-reader in. It is very easy to use and I have not had any trouble getting payments through. I had set up the payments to go to a savings account and one made it there. Then, there I received a notification that there was a problem so moved it to a personal checking account which worked. Looks like I will need to open a business checking account which I had not planned to do for awhile. If that snafu hadn't happened, I would rate it a 5 star. So far, so good.

Good overall but there are some shortcomings in flexibility. Need to be able to adjust pricing and taxability on the fly. Could use more robust reporting.

The new version of this app is terrible and detrimental to business. We used this POS app for our team of sales reps, on the old version of the app our sales flourished, it was easy to use, simple and effective. We now pay for the pro version and our sales team hate it! When adding products from category’s as soon as you click add it takes you back to the homepage, meaning you loose your place in our vast catalogue and have to start again, from the beginning, this is a nightmare when trying to showcase items to a trade customer when time is limited. I really hope Shopify fix the issues with this new app, I see from the other reviews lots of store owners prefer the older version. I can see the potential with this new app, it’s just missing so many basic functions and the flow of the app is not practical for retail use, especially in a busy setting where speed is essential. For us at the moment the monthly cost of this app is not worth the hassle and downturn in business it has caused us, please bring back the old version of the POS app and let us choose which we want to use whilst the issues are fixed on the new version.

Super easy so far. I am a physical store and purchased the iPad stand, barcode reader, receipt printer and chip reader. I purchased a cheaper cash drawer off Amazon. Everything was able to set up smoothly, including the cash drawer. I am not tech savvy, but I was able to set it up myself with no issues. With the barcode scanner, checkout is a breeze. The app makes it possible to personalize options. Add discounts in a click. Very user friendly. Once I am financially able to justify it, I would like to upgrade to the pro, but it's not feasible at this time. I would really like to be able to print a survey but haven't found one yet. I don't know if it exists?

After nearly 5 years of use, the Shopify app is now easier to use and has alot of new functions that cover different needs than in the beginning. Love dealing with the Shopify Gurus who are always friendly, knowledgeable and professional. They have really started to focus more on those of us who use the app in a bricks and mortar location only but always strive to encourage you to get an online store, which hopefully someday I will attempt.

Really good App with lots of functionality and deep integration into Shopify! :-)
