Point of Sale

Without the tipping feature, and having waited for year as a POS subscriber, we are now looking actively to migrate to another provider.

Easy to view my products and love the fact that I can keep my inventory in one place. I am planing soon to try it on my new ipad

I have been using Shopify on-line since 2013, and POS as soon as it came out. In the beginning, they had a free version, but it did not print receipts or have a "Save Cart" feature. So I opted for the paid version of POS. It wasn't much more at the time, but then Shopify combined the paid version as part of the ecommerce site for no extra fee, Yay! (Except Hey, I have been paying for it for a while and now it's free? hmmm) So then they raised the price of the ecommerce, which still included the previous paid POS version. Fine. I was okay with the arrangement.

Most of my sales are online, but once a week we are open, like a pop-up. I love the POS system on the ipad, that uses a barcode scanner, printer, and card reader. And for years I used the "Save Cart" feature as customers tend to pile up all the things they want to purchase to keep their hands free. This feature saved the day.

Except now they have a Pro Version - For $89 a month extra! As soon as they came out with it, they took away the "Save Cart" feature in the "lite" version, (which was what the version I had was now called). I cannot justify spending $89 more a month for 4 days of sales just so I can save carts while my customers shop. My work around is to have a second ipad so I can at least have 2 carts going at a time. My customers often travel far to be able to purchase in store, and they buy dozens of little items that take a long time to ring up. While they are shopping another customer often comes up to purchase one thing, but we have customer #1's cart going, ugg. So that is when we can use the backup ipad.

PLEASE Please Shopify, let me have "Save Cart" back. We only need it on one register, one day a week. I guess it is too much to ask. BTW, I have 3 Shopify sites, doesn't that buy me "Save Cart" for just 1 of them? Or, maybe a fix for my POS?

New update is terrible. Unable to search collections, confusing layout and massively over priced. Shopify please fix!
Looking for alternative.

Expensive, and doesn't let you to add customize fields on the receipt. Vend POS is cheaper and lets you print anything that you want on the POS receipt. Shopify is getting left behind. Doesn't have a proper Customer Display as well.

Incredibly disappointed with the new shopify POS system, it has made our lives so much harder. I recently emailed shopify with a list of around 10 things which are worse in the new app, and am yet to hear back. The worst of which is that the new system just doesn't work as quickly as we do, searching for products takes about a second each time for them to pop up whereas before it was immediate. The search function seems much less intelligent now, frequently the product we are searching for is at the bottom of the search list. Layout is also much less efficient. Also very unhappy the tab service is no longer included as part of the POS and we have to pay and extra £70 a month for this. Incredibly frustrating and hoping shopify can fix the major flaws in the new system so we don't have to search for a new provider.

It works great, however it would be good to get an email to remind us when an update needs to be done.

I use this app to help with in person sales at tradeshows. It is easy to use and has been working fine for me. Only one issue I have had is needing to do an update before making a sale and took a long time to complete.

J'ai utilisé cette application car j'ai une boutique physique et une boutique en ligne, je ne voulais pas utiliser des software différents. POS est très intuitif et simple, nous l'avons tout de suite pris en main. Il faut l'utiliser sur une tablette, il est moins bien sur l'ordinateur.

Absolutely love this app! Used this recently and a trade fair, for both cash and card transactions! So seamless! My customers where so impressed! Useful for those who didn't have cash or when I didn't have enough change, who ended up paying by card. I highly recommend!
