Since the latest update, the POS app no longer shows the number of items in the cart on tablets. This small detail is actually a critical part of preventing checkout errors for staff, especially during busy periods. This change feels like it shipped without real-world UX testing in a retail environment. If it was intentional, it’s a serious design mistake. If it was accidental, it highlights a lack of QA before release. I strongly recommend restoring this functionality as soon as possible and improving UX testing before future updates. This regression directly impacts checkout accuracy and day-to-day store operations.

We discovered that this app had an active paid subscription on our account despite never being used in our operations. We do not run a POS or retail billing system, so the app had no relevance for our business. When we contacted the support team after identifying the charges, we were informed that a refund would not be provided. This experience highlights a lack of proactive communication and flexibility, especially for businesses that have not derived any value from the product.

Really horrible in term of reporting and session management. They keep removing features. From the REST API, we could have gotten the Device ID information for POS order but they have since removed it from the GraphQL API. Then we had access to the session data in the shopify admin and yet again, this feature was removed. We basically have little help in tracking orders at the POS. Shopify has done little to nothing to support its customers in this regards and frankly seems to be pushing them away to use third party apps.

Absolutely trash. App lags every time you try to login, doesn't find most of my inventory in search and just at the worst time when you have s customer in front of you and maybe more waiting you get flustered and fuck everything up Shopify, this is not fit for purpose sort it or ditch it

Customer service has been extremely disappointing. This app was installed in the PRO version by a developer who has since had their access revoked. We are a production kitchen and do not operate a POS or retail checkout, so this app has never been required or used. Despite this, I’ve only recently discovered that we’ve been paying for the subscription for years. The team can clearly see there has been no usage at all, yet they have refused any form of refund, hiding behind policy rather than exercising discretion. As a small business ourselves, we regularly offer gestures of goodwill to customers when mistakes happen, even when policies technically allow us not to. It’s disappointing to see none of that same understanding or flexibility extended here, especially given the clear lack of use and circumstances surrounding the installation. Very disappointing experience overall.

The update that happened in Spring 2024 made it so slow to process orders. You have to click 9-10 times to get the most basic sale done. Im looking for a better option now

You can have over Millions in sales and over 5 Years.But they can suddenly hold your entire companies payments. Without a good reason. im absolutely shocked they think that any small to medium business would stand for such practice. I immediately switched back to my old POS Also doesn't work on Desktop/Laptop needs to be NEW apple Ipad ( old ones will lag ) . And of course you need to buy theirs ecosystem products otherwise all other products have compatibility issues... shop is great for your website but they CLEARLY missed the mark here.

I came here to read recent reviews because we are still struggling with syncing between our in-store square system and our Shopify website and I keep HOPING Shopify POS systems have improved. By the reviews I read, obviously not. We've tried Shopify POS TWICE and both times it was unreliable. No peripherals - barcode scanner, credit card machine - would remain connected to the iPad so we would have to jump through hoops, WITH CUSTOMERS WAITING IN LINE to reconnect them. Customer support sent us 3 pages of instructions which were insane & STILL didn't fix the problem. HOW CAN SHOPIFY INVENT THE BEST RETAIL SOFTWARE SYSTEM/WEBSITE BUT CAN'T DO POS WORTH A DAMN? So incredibly frustrating.

Disappointing Support & Lack of Flexibility for Small Businesses We purchased the Shopify POS system and hardware solely for a single annual pop-up event, which typically brings in around $900 in sales. Unfortunately, due to a minor oversight when managing multiple new subscriptions for our website, we didn’t realize the POS subscription was still active. The system was used 1 day out of the 365, with the last sale being almost a year ago, yet we were charged over $1,000 during this period of inactivity. When I contacted Shopify to explain the situation and request even a partial refund or credit, I was met with a strict “no refunds” policy, despite their acknowledgment of the minimal usage and the nature of the oversight. Many companies offer goodwill adjustments in such cases to support small businesses — sadly, Shopify did not. While the POS itself works fine for basic transactions, this experience left me feeling that the service is not flexible, empathetic, or supportive when small merchants make an honest mistake. If you’re a seasonal or occasional seller, be very cautious — you won’t find much understanding here if you forget to cancel. looking for a different system for my once a year pop up events

Running a small retail bakery, switched from Square because of their sub-par online product. However, Shopify's POS is really behind. To start, very slow to respond - adding items or discounts to the cart takes forever. With a line of customers waiting, that's no good. Secondly, no modifiers/options (!!!). Customer wants to add toppings to their pizza? forget about it. Third party app for this on the POS are very limited and so slow that it's easier to take order by hand. Also, there are no real tickets. There are drafts, but you cannot print them to attached to orders. No scheduling for order without clunky third party apps, that are even slower. Text and icons are all tiny, especially when adding multiple of the same item there's a little bubble with the number that you can barely see. The "smart grid" presents only 10 tiles at a time (Square fit 25 on the same screen). We keep scrolling up an down as the customers give their orders. For a product that charges $89 a month, this is just embarrassing.
