Simple à installer, à paramétrer. fait très bien le job. Des améliorations seraient à apporter au niveau de shopify d'une manière générale, par exemple : pouvoir gérer des prix différents entre boutique on-line et PDV, lorsqu'un client ouvre un compte en boutique qu'il soit automatiquement taggé PDV pour que l'on puisse distinguer les clients boutique physique des clients web.

Hi! I would like for the Chipper to hold a charge longer and to stop going into sleep mode. Otherwise, I like using it. Thanks! Jennie :)

Thanks for your review, Jennie! For context, the Chipper reader can process around 500-600 transactions daily, when fully charged. Merchants are recommended to charge the battery daily as needed in order to meet this estimated transaction number. If the Chipper has been inactive for more than 30 seconds, it enters standby mode to conserve power. The reader will stay connected to your iOS or Android device while in standby mode, and will automatically exit the standby mode when you resume activity. If you're running into specific issues with the Chipper and its battery life however, feel free to contact our Retail Support team via your POS app by tapping = > Support > Contact support. Our team can investigate the issues in more detail and provide the necessary troubleshooting from there. Thanks! -Kimi, Shopify Support

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.

Hello Floratuin, thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We appreciate your feedback regarding your experience with changing the tax on custom items. Regarding the tax on custom products, we would be able to do a Price Override to a custom item in the cart to achieve the desired price. Alternatively, we can create the product and add a tax override to that product. At the moment, the POS app uses the location's zip code to calculate tax. In the meantime, I have put your feedback forward to our teams on customizing tax with custom products.

I've been using Shopify's POS system now for the better part of a year for my In-Person events when I do shows. For what I need it to do, it does a good job but I would like to state that it can be slow at times to load items scanned. I've also had issues with the chip reader just not wanting to work so it takes rebooting / unpairing / repairing several times before it finally syncs with my POS system again. Aside from those issues, I have no other complaints! It's been a pretty solid machine that helps me enormously at these conventions. When it finally clonks out, I will most likely migrate over to using the handheld device instead since it's compact.

Hello Fatty Pancake, thank you for your feedback. We are happy to hear that you like using our POS system. As for the barcode and the card reader issue, because you go to events with the POS we always recommend using your own hotspot, the internet in events can be weak at times and causes the hardware to not function as expected. We would also recommend reaching out to the Retail Support to ensure that you go through any troubleshooting steps necessary to get this issue fixed.

Terrible system for retail. While Shopify has an excellent ecommerce platform their POS is lacking many basic features, is very limited as to what can integrate and the hardware is simply junk. Their card readers never stay connected, they never have hardware in stock so be sure to buy 2 of everything when they do have it or you will be forced to do manual card entry at an inflated fee as well as adding time to every card transaction. The worst part is they do not seem to care to make any real updates. Every forced update they send just causes more bugs and more issues. We are currently looking for a new system due to their lack of performance.

Why can't we choose the currency on the POS? I am in Canada but I chose to have my store currency in USD. When I am selling at an event, it does not give me the option to choose Canadian funds. Very frustrating.

Hi Vision K9 Company, thank you for submitting your feedback on this. To accept payments in the Shopify POS app with a Shopify card reader, your Shopify account and Shopify Payments account must have the same currency, location, and country settings. The POS app will use the same currency as your Shopify store. To accept in-person POS payments in multiple countries, you must create a separate Shopify store and Shopify Payments account for each additional country, unless your store is in the European Union (EU). More on this can be found in our help document on Setting up Shopify Payments for POS. I greatly appreciate your feedback on this as I know the team is always trying to improve the experience when using the POS and help make in-person sales fast and easy. I have gone ahead and submitted feedback to our team about this and I would recommend checking out the Shopify Changelog for any future updates on this.

Terrible experience trying to migrate my existing QB data. Don't listen to the sales people that will tell you how simple and automated the process will be. Two months later I'm doing it all myself the hard way. The hardware is all Apple so be ready to replace everything if currently a PC user. It's just like the regular Shopify platform in that several basic and obvious features are lacking and might only be overcome with another app. Want to save a customer cart in POS and later open it to complete the sale on a different pos device? There's an app for that. 1st Update: I am a pro subscriber and know I can save the cart on one POS device, but it's not possible to reopen that cart on a DIFFERENT POS device. 2nd Update 8/21/2024 Shopify POS still sucks. During POS transactions we are creating customers and they are immediately dropped from the sale. I try to add them back to the transaction, but it can't find them. We try creating them again, but get the error message that the email already exists. So the customer exists but can't be found when wanting to add them to the sale??? Shopify support says this is a known issue and to just create the customer first. Previous support gaslit me into thinking this was some unique issue and wanted me to provide VIDEO of it randomly happening. It's not the first time support has run me in circles only to find out that it's actually a known issue.

I have been a vendor at 4 festivals so far for a total of 6 full days and used their chip reader and this POS app. No problems other than disconnecting from the hot spot a couple times due to my phone or IPad. Although I could not print the report offered on days totals from the POS the print button was not clickable. Very easy to use and set up. Just have to make sure products are set to POS in Shopify admin. and disable tax setting when done if you're collecting taxes in another state temporarily. Other wise taxes will be collected on online orders if someone from that state orders online. Setting up inventory for the POS in the Shopify admin is confusing for me, for others probably not so. When I have more time I will call support to help me figure out. The POS app and reader has worked well for me.

we were on the Shopify Plus subscription for a year and cancelled. Shopify Plus comes with the feature of Shopify POS Pro and we did not have this feature prior to being on Shopify Plus. A few months after being cancelled from Shopify Plus, Shopify just decided to activate Shopify POS Pro on three of our stores with NO authorization. I'm trying to run my business not take hours of my time to have you reverse a feature you place on my three stores without our authorization.

Dear Luxe B Pampas Grass Wholesale, thank you for leaving your feedback. We appreciate your concerns and would like to address them: We understand that after downgrading from Shopify Plus, you were still subscribed to the POS Pro plan. This is expected, as downgrading your online account won't affect the POS plan. We don't change the plan from Pro to Lite without the merchant's consent and the same if it changes to the PRO. If you want to change your plan, it needs to be done under the POS channel. It won't change if you downgrade your online plan.

Really not designed well, can't use Laptop/PC (which runs Shopify!), scanning items takes too long, with too many 'select' steps, just want to barcode scan and move quickly to get customers through in-store checkout process. Buggy connectivity to Wisepad3 card reader. Merchant fees are higher than using a standalone EFTPOS machine (even after Shopify surcharge). Only reason still have this app is it is a stitch-up for some Stocky app functionality :(

Hello The Combat Company, thank you for leaving your feedback. We appreciate your feedback about having our POS work on a computer. At the moment, our system can only be used on a device and cannot support working on a computer and I am happy to send this as a feedback for our developers. As for the Wisepad 3 reader, if you are having issues with the connection make sure that the card reader is at least 50% charged and the POS is up to date, which is 8.9.0. Please reach out to our Retail Support by sending your POS logs. We are here 24/7 to help.

Super easy so far. I am a physical store and purchased the iPad stand, barcode reader, receipt printer and chip reader. I purchased a cheaper cash drawer off Amazon. Everything was able to set up smoothly, including the cash drawer. I am not tech savvy, but I was able to set it up myself with no issues. With the barcode scanner, checkout is a breeze. The app makes it possible to personalize options. Add discounts in a click. Very user friendly. Once I am financially able to justify it, I would like to upgrade to the pro, but it's not feasible at this time. I would really like to be able to print a survey but haven't found one yet. I don't know if it exists?

Do not use this app if: You deal with a lot of customers a day, this will add minutes to every transaction just adding barcoded items to the cart because it doesn't do it automatically once a product is scanned. You have lots of products with variants that you have to rely on checking the SKU a lot because they don't have barcodes, or the differences are not obvious in the title or photo. The SKU and barcode is not visible on the first screen when searching for a product. You have to click on each product variant to see the SKU number. Bummer if you don't pick the right one on the first or second try. ˜ Sadly, I really enjoy stocky so now I'm stuck with POSpro because they don't do them separately and now, I have to pay for another POS app on top of it. Sigh.. Note to the Shopify retail team: I suggest you pop into a couple of stores that use this app and process transactions for half a day at each, you will soon realise how frustrating it is. Also, why is POS not available on a web browser? We all have computers already, why are you forcing people to have to buy another piece of hardware?!

Dear Mollies Make And Create, thank you for leaving your feedback. We appreciate your concerns and would like to address them: - We have received feedback from many merchants about the SKU not showing in the product detail. Our developers have added the SKU section to the product page in their latest update. - We also received feedback about the barcode scanner and have sent it to our developers for consideration. If a product has multiple variants, the scanner will bring up a list so you can choose which variant you want to add. - At the moment, Stocky is only available for the Pro Plan as part of the feature. However, Shopify now has a section to create POs from the admin without any additional fees. - We appreciate your feedback about having our POS work on a computer. At the moment, our system can only be used on a device and cannot support working on a computer.

The app itself is ok as long as you stick to the recommended hardware, or it just won't work! (Basically stick to American based Apple products). My issue is the features it allows in the free version are lacking, that, in retail certain abilities are considered standard. For example the ability to make an exchange on a sale and the use of existing discount codes from the website end (i can tick the box but unless I use pro it doesn't feed it through). I don't want to pay an extra £80 just for this option, so I have to the calculations manually and adjust stock manually. I don't need multiple outlets or more than 5 staff I can barely afford myself! I understand the software is different than the e-commerce software, so billing is separate, but someone really needs to look at the needs vs extras because what I need vs what I want are two very different options. Maybe allow a system of choose what you want and charge accordingly... better yet, just allow me to do exchanges and use discount codes on the POS.

RetroEsque, thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. I'll let our Reviews Team here know about your review. They look into feedback from merchants and consider it for use on our platform. I also wanted to let you know, for the Lite plan you can still apply discount codes to the items in the cart. You can apply a discount to the whole cart or individual line items. Feel free to reach out to our Retail Support if you have more questions.

You can also check the [Shopify Changelog website](https://changelog.shopify.com/?utm_source=gurucopy&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=Gurus).

The app is a bad, forced update after forced update, and all that seems to change is making our ipads unsupported. even worse if you pay shopify more money for their tap and chip reader. They may as well go back to a wired connection to the ipad because they don't seem to know how to use bluetooth technology. Having to restart the app every time the devices sleep isn't an acceptable solution. They've opened up their business to third party apps for everything else they may as well just let third party hardware/software handle this part as well.

Hello Park & Fifth Clothing Co, thank you for taking the time to post your feedback. We are constantly improving our app by releasing new updates that can fix bugs and add new features. As for when the hardware goes into sleep mode, we recommend checking the app's permission: In the iPad Settings Menu > search for Shopify POS > ensure the app's Location Permissions are set to "Allow while using" and "Allow cross-website tracking" toggle on. This ensures that if the reader reaches out while the screen is asleep or while the app is minimized, the app will still have the appropriate permissions to complete its security checks and be able to reconnect. If the issue is not fixed, feel free to reach out to our Retail support. The team is here 24/7 to help.
