Shopify Point of Sale (POS)

Unified point of sale that keeps your store perfectly in sync

Shopify Point of Sale (POS) is designed for merchants who already run their business on Shopify and want a seamless way to sell in person. It brings your online catalog, customers, orders, and payments under one roof, so you’re not juggling separate systems for retail and ecommerce.

The core strength of Shopify POS is its deep integration with your existing store. Inventory updates in real time, whether a product sells at a market stall or via your online storefront, greatly reducing the risk of overselling. Customer profiles are shared across channels too, making it easy to recognize returning shoppers, view their purchase history, and tailor recommendations or discounts.

Checkout is fast and flexible. Staff can serve customers anywhere in the store, scan barcodes with the device camera, and connect to barcode scanners, cash drawers, and receipt printers for a more traditional counter setup. Support for major cards, debit, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and cash is built in, with automatic tax calculation based on your location and convenient digital receipts via email or SMS.

For retailers who live on follow-up sales, features like email carts, pickup tracking, and unified returns and exchanges are particularly valuable. A customer can discover something in store, complete the purchase later online, and still feel like it was one coherent experience.

There are trade-offs. The app really shines only if you’re fully invested in the Shopify ecosystem, and more advanced features may require upgraded plans and compatible hardware. Connectivity is also important; while some offline capabilities exist, you’ll want a reliable connection to avoid disruptions.

Overall, Shopify POS is a polished, business-focused solution that turns any sales floor, pop-up, or fair booth into a natural extension of your online store.
