About Shopify POS
Shopify POS is a point of sale software that helps businesses streamline operations related to inventory tracking, payment processing, customer loyalty, marketing, and more on a centralized platform. Administrators can configure user roles, set up access permissions, assign unique PIN codes, and distribute sales commissions to staff members.
Shopify POS has the essential features you’d expect from a traditional POS plus the features you need for the future. Run your online and retail stores from one app, so you don't need to keep track of multiple inventories, catalogs, and payment systems. Customers and orders are synced across online and in-store, so offering local pickup, processing returns/exchanges, rewarding customers through loyalty programs, and selling gift cards anywhere is easy.
Get the POS that gets your retail business.

Awesome. They’ve changed our business to one that was making $500 a month to one that has quadrupled in size in just a year.
Pros
I have been so impressed with everything that Shopify offers. Their reporting, different integrations, website building, all of it is so impressive.
Cons
I haven’t found anything that I don’t like about Shopify. I’ve been very impressed with them from the beginning.

Despite the minor flaws, I still use Shopify POS because it is the easiest POS solution for my business. The pricing is fine as well.
Pros
The Shopify POS is linked to my product list, which makes it easy to select which product(s) shoppers are buying.
Cons
It was hard to set a temporary sales tax. I live in Oregon where we don't have a sales tax, but sometimes travel to other states for conventions or shows. While at the show I need a way to set a location-based temporary sales tax and at the same time allow my online customers to check out without any sales tax. That was surprisingly hard to do last time I used Shopify POS. It's possible the problem has been fixed by now... I haven't used it since before the pandemic started.

I can do the same on Square for FREE
Reviewed on 2017/06/10
Pros
Integrates with my Shopify Store (Something Square Cant), great for inventory across online offline, integrates with Epson printers.
Cons
PRICE, Shopify POS is expensive and does not require the price tag when compared to the competition. IT has an app store but those apps addon more price to the monthly fees. Also, the Shopify POS's payment terminal doesn't support TAP which is pretty bad. Switched to Square and never going back.

Overall, I would refer any in person sellers to this software.
Pros
I love this software because it is so easy to deploy and operate. Also the way that the hands held card reader is shaped is very nice. The software itself integrates smoothly with my Shopify store, and it runs perfectly.
Cons
There is not anything I would change about this software as of right now. It works great and integrates well.

The old POS app was very easy to use, but with the update I am thinking of switching to Square. I reached out customer service about the possibly of reverting to the old app; they respond quickly which is great, but unfortunately we are stuck with the new app which I do not think will work for our business.
Pros
Shopify makes it easy to add and edit products to your library. It's great that it tracks inventory and can easily see sales and customer data.
Cons
I have been using shopify pos for almost 2 years and am very disappointed with the recent upgrade. We use the pos app for farmers markets and oftentimes don't have great internet. With the new update, we cannot even get into the app without great internet. Additionally, there is a new password feature that is used to get into the app. It was not very intuitive to figure out how to turn this off and caused some problems with our staff. The new layout is not very user friendly as I find myself having to do several extra steps to complete a sale than I used to.
