Point of Sale

I've started using this app in order to integrate my retail outlet with my upcoming online site. It has made a lot of things easier for me. However, my struggle is only in setting up a receipt printer as per requirements as the specified printers are not available in India. It would be better if shopify can incorporate commonly available printers for the India market.

it is good as it sync with the website, so it is easy to update the inventory and customer information. yet for discount or searching products are still frustrasting sometimes.

Flexible, reliable. Not a fan of new card reader however.

We’ve been with Shopify for several years now for our website & POS. Prior to Shopify we used 2 very popular and highly noted POS platforms both with pros & cons & both costing more than Shopify’s upgraded version. We switched our 13 yr old Brick & Mortar over to Shopify’s POS platform approx. 4yrs ago and have been relatively pleased with our decision. In our experience, anytime a new upgrade is rolled out with any platform there has always been growing pains and it never seems to be at the right time. What I do know is that in our 4 yrs of using Shopify’s POS many of the upgrades they have implemented is a direct result of listening to the customer. Can they do more, absolutely. Let us all remind ourselves with this pandemic how we’ve had to change direction in the blink of an eye including Shopify. Trying to keep up with an influx of demand can be daunting even for the big guys.

We tried Shopify POS but we can't change the tax with custom products, we asked for a change but they said there is nothing they can do. they lost a customer for this reason hope they will fix this limitation in the future.

this app is an embarrassment for SHOPIFY - nothing more or less. To be able to use it properly you need an iPad 3 at least (iOS 10.xx ) - if you want to use it on android you have to create a staff account with full(!) permissions - which is outright ridiculous. My plan has 5 staff accounts which is enough for the online store but I have 4 sales staff in a small shop - now they all have to log in to one account and I have to track sales across staff members manually. Also don't bother shopify "gurus" with support questions, they know close to nothing about the app.

IT SEEMS TO ME THAT ALL "PRO" FEATURES SHOULD BE FEATURED ON THE "BASIC" POS. AS MUCH AS I ENJOYED THE EASE OF EXCHANGES ON "PRO" I SWITCHED BACK TO "BASIC". I WILL NOT PAY $90 A MONTH FOR EXCHANGES. ANOTHER FEATURE THAT SHOULD BE IN "BASIC" IS PUTTING A TRANSACTION OF HOLD. I CAN GET TO THE ANALYTICS I NEED AT ANY TIME OFF THE SHOPIFY APP... I DON'T NEED MY EMPLOYEES TO HAVE ACCESS AT THE REGISTER. I LOVE SHOPIFY, BUT IT WAS I LITTLE BIT OF A LET DOWN THAT YOU GUYS TRIED TO CHARGE SO MUCH FOR THESE "UP GRADES" THAT SHOULD BE REGULAR FEATURES OF ANY "POS" SYSTEM. BEST -JIMMY

Severely lacks some key functions. Like the ability to program in discounts. Or conditional pricing. The only true benefit is linking to the online store and tracking inventory and sales across sales channels. Otherwise, I'd be using Square, no doubt.

If you think you're going to get the same app for an Android as you would with an Apple iOS device, think again. The Android version is just a dumbed down/watered down version of the Shopify mobile app - reduced to just the checkout portion. In other words, you're not really getting a dedicated POS system.

This app has been perfect for our needs. Collect peoples money for each purchase reliably at an event. We don't need extra stuff.
