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.

The biggest waste of money! Such an expensive devise that does nothing! It goes flat in about 30 minutes and then takes 8 hours to charge. It doesn't even do everything I need. Every time I turn it on it updates for about 30mintues. Its like something from the 80s trying to do the work of things in 2025. TERRIBLE!!!! AVOID!!! Just pay $9 a month for EasyScan!

I have been using the Shopify POS Pro for just over a year. It seems the system had no input from a retailer, but was put together by a bunch of techies. It's really bad on basic reports, which are essential to run a multiple location retail company. Overall the experience has been frustrating!. If anyone from Shopify reads this - Just hire some people with some practical hands-on retail experience!!

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.
