Point of Sale

I do not recommend POS for France market : - No distinct bank payout per store location - No cash reconciliation - No ZDECAISSE (specific report for France) - Cannot print labels per "supplier order", have to print each individually... The POS idea is good but the product is below standard.

Pessima app. Non è assolutamente un POS completo, ci sono tantissime lacune e spesso presenta dei bug al checkout. Inoltre è limitato in tutte le sue funzioni. Esperienza terribile non lo consiglio a NESSUNO.

Constant, constant, constant issues. Hardware that must be purchased from them is absorbently priced & not reliable. Even used hardware purchased cheaper is over priced & horrible. Card readers, scanners, printers are only consistent at disconnecting then slow to reconnect---if they even decide to reconnect. So many in person sales have been lost because of this. It's very embarrassing & makes us look unprofessional and ill prepared. After this past week's issues, I'm seriously debating leaving Shopify altogether. And YES, everything is up to date. It would be wonderful if there was a PC version and hard wired hardware. This wifi and bluetooth enabled garbage is extremely unreliable. Shopify has an excellent ecommerce platform, but their POS is very limited as to what can integrate and the hardware is, simply put, junk. I've brought these issues up before with a CSR in a chat, but none of my opinions or experiences have been taken seriously, nor have the issues been resolved. I feel as if I've wasted not just money, but time and valuable customers.

I'm looking for a new POS system. The checkout just hangs, sometimes as you're trying to add a product to cart, other times before loading the payment screen, and at other times when completing the payment. It's awful, even more so since the most recent update. It's also cumbersome to add products to the cart in the first place. POS needs to be quick, and at the moment I'm losing customers because of this awful app. I'm heading into my busy part of the year and I simply cannot rely on this app. If Shopify want to see what a good POS app looks like, then see how Zettle's works - it's head and shoulders above this one. I wanted to be able to run my ecommerce store and POS via the same company, but now it's looking like I'll need to revert to Zettle for POS and keep the store with Shopify. That's more work for me, in terms of adding and syncing inventory, but this app is barely usable. Another minor issue is that, as the checkout is loading, the margin (in actual GBP) pops up quickly. How would a customer feel if they saw that? My life flashes befoe my eyes each time as I try to shield the tablet from them. Seriously, Shopify - do better. in the meantime, I'll decide whether to revert to Zettle or find another provder. Awful, awful, AWFUL app.

The most recent changes have made the checkout process so slow! There is so much unnecessary tapping and lag to check a customer out, and there is zero customization to bypass it. If you are selling in a fast-paced environment, get ready for delays. We bought the 3 POS machines last summer and are now stuck in this ecosystem. This was a huge mistake.

I regret having to leave a negative review for Shopify POS. Our experience has been terrible. We needed a system to consolidate our inventory in one place, and despite the bad reviews, we decided to give it a try anyway. Unfortunately, the negative reviews were right. It's disappointing to see a big company like Shopify unable to fix their POS issues. We've lost numerous sales because their hardware wasn't working properly. Now, the system is completely dead, and according to their support, we have to wait 48 hours for a resolution. TERRIBLE.

There's an issue with the printer on the app, it stops working several times a day, letting my customers waiting for so long without the printed receipt. Cannot know when it work when it stops, I paid for the Shopify Pro, such a scam. If this issue is not solved, I must quit this app and go back to my old system Lightspeed. Many people have the same issue that has been raised from last year but not solved yet. https://community.shopify.com/c/retail-and-point-of-sale/epson-tm-m30ii-bluetooth-printer-very-slow-to-print-a-receipt/m-p/1889791

I have been using the free version for 2 years. Although it wasn't perfect, it did the job. The last couple of months have been terrible, but even worse, the last week or so. Completely unusable. So slow. The time it take to do a product search is way too long and the lagging is terrible. I can honestly say, it is not fit for purpose. Customers are waiting too long. The extra steps to add something to the cart and no more 'save cart' is very disappointing. I would not recommend this app to anyone in it's current state. Side note - When using an IPAD, if you connect a barcode scanner via bluetooth, the keyboard disappears. If you have variables, you still have to go into the product and select it, but you cannot because there is no keyboard.

We do not recommend this app. Recent changes to the app were not implemented with us (shop owners) in mind. It was cumbersome and didn’t work correctly leaving our customers sitting at the counter…waiting…while we tried to ‘correct’ or re-enter their order! It seems the developers are not familiar with how shop owners utilized this app and install upgrades without warning, that do not work correctly and create bad data. Support for this app is sub-standard. It took about 6 weeks for a resolution to one of the issues and then created another. We have been using it for years and it had been pretty good. Currently it barely deserves a one-star.

Stuck with unused WisePad3 device. I feel really stuck with the NO solution that Shopify offers me.... I bought this WisePad3 before a fair. I was waiting for a fair to take place and ordered beforehand and then I did not use it and it was a horror to find the info to send it back to. It was a complete quest to even find the return possibilities. The device is unused, not even opened. I hade to go through a long servive procedure before I got the email that I am stuck with this and they advice me to sell it on eBay. Can you believe it? I can not understand the non-flexibel attitude of this big company, working with small online retailers.

Until recently, I would have given this app a 5 star rating. However, the arbitrary removal of the saved cart function to be replaced with draft orders (a different workflow) on the paid plan (US $89 a month) is a bit extreme for a small business. Really they need to reintroduce the feature else will need to look at Square POS again.

This app is basically a rip-off. I switched my plan to lite, but it still charged me $89 per month.

This ap is not for Makers who travel out of their home tax area to do markets. There are other point of sale services that handle toggling taxes on and off in a more efficient and simple manner. While the thought of having synchronized inventory tallies between online and in person sales is appealing, this point of sale ap really doesn't manage the different sales tax collection requirements when you sell in person in a Province that is not your home Province. Glad I realized this before I subscribed to Pro.

I’ve been using the save cart feature on the normal version of POS for a few years now, and while it wasn’t perfect, it did the job. Shopify has now made this a pro feature, but the save cart option doesn’t actually work. I spoke to them about and they stated that they’re still fixing bugs on it. So, I’m paying for a pro feature that doesn’t actually work? You released a new update with the feature being ready? I spoke to someone about going back to the old software while it was being dealt with and they said they would need to get back to me. Well it’s been 7 days and no response.

We have been using the POS system for 5 months now, along with the Wisepad 3. It's a terrible device. Every time customers want to pay, a mandatory update has to be performed, which can only be done if the battery is above 50%. Moreover, an update takes as long as 10 minutes. So, think carefully before purchasing this product with a Wisepad.

I would never recommend shopify to anyone who likes to have good customer service and get their payments in a proper amount of time. We have had nothing but issues with the payments taking 8 days to go to bank, to the connector to quickbooks desktop connecting but putting all of the information in the wrong place. It has been a nightmare. We spend hours on the phone with the customer service people and then they tell that they will have a team email us. The communication is terrible and we have only had this system for less than a month.

Eventhough it is the native app for shopify, it has recurrent connectivity and sincronization issues with barcodes and inventory It is unpractical that only certain hardware is available for use with the app, and that this hardware is unexistent outside certain countries or extremely expensive. It makes no sense that my current computers cant be used, and im forced to use tablets of mobile devices. This issue, next to the associated hardware makes scaling extremely expensive, and opening new venues implies purchasing the expensive and selective associated hardware. Finally subscription costs are expensive, charging 80USd for being able to associate sales with employees. This should be a basic feature of the app, included with the plus 1000USD i pay monthly for shopify

TERRIBLE APP, doesnt work in PC only in expensives equipments

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.

Malheureusement la version gratuite est très maigre. Pourtant elle est partie intégrante de l'abonnement (pas gratuit du tout )
