Point of Sale

Nov. 2, 2019

The app updated on the 31st of October. Can no longer sync with my store on my Android. This is a horrible situation.

Don't bother with Shopify or it's point of sale. If something breaks they send you through hoops and redundant test that haven't worked the three other times they had you do it. They avoid replacing their guaranteed products. You are then stuck with a store that can't take credit cards or buy a new one. They were good a years ago, but have fallen. Find another online avenue and find another pos. HORRIBLE. They will just stop answering your emails when they can't fix something. Won't get back to you. Facebook app is a joke. Read before buying into shopify.

Skip this POS. There are apps that you can get which will help, but if you want to run a real business, with many SKUs and a staff that cares about numbers and inventory, or, you know, if you care abut these things, skip this for now. It may be ready in a few years, but it doesn't even really integrate with your Shopify Admin. If all you want it for is the occasional pop up it will do you fine, but it's irresponsible of them to sell it as a viable trustworthy, business focused POS at this stage.

BRAND NEW IPAD PRO AND SHOPIFY POS APP STILL WONT WORK! WHAT IS THE POINT OF HAVING A SEPARATE CHANNEL FOR ONLINE SALES< AND ANOTHER CHANNEL FOR POINT OF SALE IF THE POS APP STILL TRIES TO IMPORT YOUR ONLINE ITEMS!?!?!??! THIS MEANS YOUR ONLINE STORE IS ALSO LIMITED TO 5,000 PRODUCTS EVEN IF YOU MARK THEM UNAVAILABLE IN POS CHANNEL!?!?!?!

It doesn't work with customized products, neither with 99% of the apps of Shopify... So much to improve in this POs to be aligned with website services. Not recommended at all for restaurant businesses with variety of products and customisable dishes.

POS just suddenly stopped working for my retail store and the tech was unable to help. Seems like a terribly unreliable system to depend on for your business.

Absolutely terrible, and missing so many basic features that should be included in any POS system. Admin access is required to login to the store, ok not a problem. Except that the app automatically logs out several times a week and requires the admin credentials and password to get back in. There are staff PINs, but they only work once you are logged into the store with an admin account. There is no way for a POS or limited access account to login. I am rarely at the store, so I have to give all my employees all my login info so they can use the POS app. That's insane! All of my minimum wage, part time employees have full, unrestricted, admin access to all areas of the POS app and online store. When it does logout, it also loses a lot of information when you log back in. The integrated Moneris terminal for one. Under payment methods, the toggle is turned off by default, and when you turn it on, none of the config setting are saved. You have to get the IP address of the terminal again, input the ECR ID as well as the merchant ID, and reinitialize. This happens every time! I have lost hundreds of dollars in sales from customers coming to the checkout to pay, only to have the terminal not work, and my employees not able to get it running before they get tired of waiting. My employees have called me while I'm at my other business (a restaurant) so I can try and trouble shoot it for them over the phone. During which, I'm losing customers there too! Losing customers at two businesses at the same time because Shopify keeps logging out and losing important information like terminal settings. Aside from constantly losing me money, it is also useless when trying to remotely manage a business. If you have multiple locations, don't even bother. It doesn't track employee hours, you can't see when employees are clocking in or out, you can't see how much money should be in the till at any given time, how much cash is being deposited etc. You can only check these from the actual physical iPad at that location. Why can you not check these from the admin console instead of me having to physically go to all my store locations to check each individual iPad? The only reason I migrated my store to Shopify was to have a POS app that synced with my online inventory. What a waste of time.

It only works as an offline solution. It should connect both the online and offline worlds and let you fulfill physical orders from the online warehouse and similar...

Did not sync with my products on the store. Truly excited at first, but once installed, regret it that much..

This does not work with something most all businesses have, a computer. You read that right. It only works on tablets and phones. We moved our website over to Shopify after talking with their phone support only to find this out after we launched our site. VERY DISAPPOINTING! The duplicate data entry continues for us.

Online and POS might as well be from 2 different companies. Other than inventory and customer, they don't behave the same. Couldn't find any Apps from the app store that worked on POS (and if they do, there's no easy way to find the apps that work on both). Their online solution is ok when coupled with the 3rd party apps of the app store but they shouldn't promote themselves as being cross-channel...they're not even close.

there is no tip support for POS app.:(

No Tip featured yet??, please we this important feature as part of the POS functionalities.

BIGGEST ISSUE: Shopify cannot guarantee that the stock for items on the POS is the same as on the back end. Given I display one variant in my store and rely on the software to inform me of availability THIS IS A HUGE FLAW. I've been using the software for 8 months and raised this issue with shopify some 5 months ago now and the problem persists. They have not been able to solve it in that time and don't see the issue as a particularly grave one. considering the cost to add this to the Shopify plan it is absolute obscene that this is acceptable.

We have been trying to get this to work for over a week. Service/support for this product is a joke. This has been a HUGE waste of time for us.

After using the shopify POS for my business it went well.. Unfortunately shopify since signing with apple pay has changed their "TOS" agreement citing that "apple" and apple pay does not approve of the sale of fire arms and or accessories.. Causing me to desperately look for another free or price accomodating POS system and causing me to loose over a full month of business.

We are having a problem with the scanner,IT DOES NOT WORK.I feel I'm getting the ''runaround''.We purchased all the equipment 2weeks ago and still cannot barcode anything.We called on Fri,Sat,and Sun and got nobody.The scanner came with no instructions so we went online to learn how to set up.It took 2 days to get a response,ok sat. and sun. I thought they had 24-7 help.seems to be 9to5. mon. thru fri. The box it came in seemed to be opened before.We have a lot of product on the online store and we have to manually remove items if we sell out of our store front,I hope we don't sell something we don't have.I find it odd they don't call,we have to do everything via email which takes a lot longer.My advise buy the CHS 7Ci on eBay and save $70.00,at least you can return it with no questions asked and ''you get the stand with it''.So we wait for another email:( This process took 5 days and they finally said the scanner is bad.What took 5 days to do via email would have taken 5 minutes buy phone. Now we wait to be approved by the "hardware dept"for a new one,we are now 9 days without a scanner,waiting for another email :( So we were told to buy another scanner before they even credit my account.This all started on 3/3/17,it is now 3/12/17,we went to eBay and bought a used one.I will update this as I go.Still waiting for credit on the bad scanner,and a SHIPPING LABEL!!!!!!!!!! Do not use this company.

Without the tipping feature, and having waited for year as a POS subscriber, we are now looking actively to migrate to another provider.

This may be the only POS on the market without a function to "leave a TIP" for the employee ringing up the order. While we do sell online retail, we offer barbering services, sharpening, etc.. in our brick and mortar store and are unable to let customers leave a tip on their credit card on this POS, and with more and more people not carrying cash, it looks like we may need to switch POS systems before our staff keeps getting upset that they are losing tips. Other than that, it is a smooth POS integration system, but the lack caring enough to add a simple function is why this POS is not ideal for anyone selling anything other than products. If you run a service, beverage, or food company then you definitely need to shop elsewhere for a POS.
