Reseña detallada de Shopify POS: 1/5 Shopify POS ofrece una interfaz amigable y una integración directa con la plataforma en línea de Shopify. Sin embargo, en nuestra experiencia operativa en México, hemos identificado múltiples limitaciones que afectan significativamente la eficiencia y la satisfacción del cliente en un entorno minorista dinámico. A continuación, se detallan diez puntos críticos: 1. Falta de soporte para múltiples divisas Operando en una zona turística con clientela internacional, la incapacidad de Shopify POS para procesar pagos en efectivo en diferentes divisas sin conversión automática nos obliga a realizar cálculos manuales. Esto incrementa el riesgo de errores y ralentiza el proceso de pago, afectando negativamente la experiencia del cliente y la precisión en la gestión de caja. 2. Incompatibilidad con Shopify Payments en México En México, Shopify Payments no está disponible, lo que nos obliga a utilizar terminales de pago externas para procesar tarjetas de crédito. Esta situación complica la integración de pagos y puede generar inconsistencias en la conciliación de ventas. 3. Disponibilidad limitada de hardware La tienda de hardware de Shopify no realiza envíos a México, lo que nos obliga a adquirir equipos compatibles a través de minoristas externos. Esto puede resultar en dificultades para encontrar hardware compatible y en posibles problemas de integración. 4. Problemas de rendimiento y estabilidad Hemos experimentado lentitud y fallos en el sistema durante eventos de alta demanda, lo que resulta en interrupciones en el servicio y pérdida de ventas. Por ejemplo, durante un evento con gran afluencia de clientes, el sistema se volvió inoperativo, impidiendo procesar transacciones y generando largas filas y frustración entre los clientes. Estas interrupciones afectan la confianza en el sistema y la reputación de nuestro negocio. 5. Integración limitada con hardware de terceros La compatibilidad de Shopify POS con hardware de terceros es limitada, lo que nos ha obligado a invertir en equipos específicos de Shopify, incrementando los costos operativos. Por ejemplo, intentamos integrar un escáner de códigos de barras de un proveedor reconocido, pero la falta de compatibilidad nos forzó a adquirir el modelo específico que Shopify recomienda, generando gastos adicionales no previstos. 6. Soporte técnico insuficiente En situaciones críticas, el soporte técnico no ha respondido con la rapidez y eficacia necesarias. Al enfrentar un problema técnico que impedía procesar pagos, contactamos al soporte y recibimos una respuesta después de 48 horas, tiempo durante el cual nuestras operaciones se vieron gravemente afectadas. La falta de asistencia oportuna en momentos cruciales compromete la continuidad del negocio. 7. Funcionalidades básicas ausentes Funciones esenciales como la gestión avanzada de inventario y la personalización de recibos están ausentes o requieren costosas actualizaciones. Por ejemplo, la incapacidad de ajustar rápidamente los niveles de inventario desde el POS nos obliga a realizar estas modificaciones desde el panel de control en línea, lo que no es práctico en un entorno de venta al por menor de ritmo rápido. 8. Requisitos específicos de dispositivos La aplicación Shopify POS está disponible solo para dispositivos iOS y Android, excluyendo su uso en computadoras de escritorio o portátiles. Esto limita la flexibilidad operativa y puede requerir inversiones adicionales en dispositivos compatibles. 9. Actualizaciones obligatorias A partir del 3 de noviembre de 2023, Shopify POS requiere actualizaciones cada 180 días para mantener el acceso a la aplicación. Esto puede generar inconvenientes si no se gestionan adecuadamente las actualizaciones automáticas. 10. Falta de soporte para sistemas operativos beta La aplicación Shopify POS no admite sistemas operativos beta. Esto restringe el uso en dispositivos que no cumplen con estas especificaciones. Conclusión Aunque Shopify POS se integra bien con la plataforma en línea, sus limitaciones en el manejo de múltiples divisas, incompatibilidad con Shopify Payments en México, disponibilidad limitada de hardware, problemas de rendimiento, integración restringida con hardware de terceros, soporte técnico insuficiente, ausencia de funcionalidades básicas, requisitos específicos de dispositivos, actualizaciones obligatorias y falta de soporte para sistemas operativos beta lo hacen inadecuado para operaciones minoristas complejas y de alto volumen en el mercado mexicano. Es esencial que Shopify aborde estas deficiencias para ofrecer una solución POS más robusta y confiable.

If you're running a sizeable retail store, I would not advise against using Shopify POS. We transitioned from a specialized POS provider, which we had successfully used for seven years, only to realize within a week that moving to Shopify POS was a mistake. While Shopify is strong as an e-commerce platform, its POS system has serious limitations that make it unsuitable for established or multi-location retailers. Key Issues: Limited Support: Shopify advertises 24/7 support, but in reality, this is chat-only with slow response times, which can be frustrating when immediate assistance is needed for in-store operations. Nobody to help you out with transitioning from existing to Shopify POS. Weak Reporting and Search Functions: Extracting meaningful reports is a challenge, and the search functionality is cumbersome. This makes basic day-to-day tasks much harder than they should be. Poor CRM and Inventory Management: Customer relationship management and stock tracking are inefficient and often unreliable. Managing inventory across multiple locations is especially problematic, which is a major drawback for any growing retail business. High Maintenance Needs: Due to the above limitations, it seems almost necessary to dedicate an employee solely to troubleshooting and managing issues with the system. In summary, Shopify POS may be adequate for small or single-location stores, but for anyone managing multiple stores or a more complex retail operation, this system is far from optimal. It has potential as a website platform, but for POS, look elsewhere.

Sono molto dellusa, dopo una settimana che ho installato POS, cassa fiscale non si collega a software di Shopify (la uso manualmente, ma potevo fare nello stesso modo anche con la cassa di prima) e una settimana che scrivo ad assistenza (solo per chat) dopo poco appare problema tecnico della chat, e devo iniziare di nuovo con prossimo assistente, senza successo. Scritte su scritte senza la risuluzione del problema, spese soldi e solo delusione. Assistenza 7/24 non è vero, perché è inesistente

IT'S DEFINITELY A POS. Hangs constantly and has way too many bugs. Really terrible and tough to get help. We got the overpriced docking station hoping it would help to have everything connected but it doesn't. Shopify should be embarrassed.

I wish I could leave ZERO stars. Not retail friendly in any way. Constant glitches. We regret ever signing on to Shopify POS. Spare yourself and don’t use this company.
