Yeah, I was charged a dollar for two months in a row said I had been given 30 more days then all sudden 41 n 93 $ took out of my acct no without notice bounced my acct n took out money of pending bills never used or sold anything because every time I set up the account, it says I was active and then I look again and it says one more step one more step one more step to make active to open store so basically I was charged for a service that was never used or seen joke, big joke

JI was charged without being notified. I could not understand why I was being charged over $100 per month for an account that I had frozen. Sure enough, Shopify decided that they should keep charging me for POS Pro, which I DID NOT realize was added to my account. Sad to say, and see that this feels like just another money grab.

Got this app for free as part of Shopify plus. When we downgraded to shopify standard Shopify decided it would be ok to start billing us for it. We've never agreed to any kind of paid plan for this app, but Shopify have been billing us for over 12 months before we'd noticed. They don't want to refund us for an app we never agreed to pay for so I guess we're taking them to court.

Customer care is a joke. Requested to speak with someone over the phone multiple times. Insisted on dealing with issue through chat. absolute joke

Reseña detallada de Shopify POS: 1/5 Shopify POS ofrece una interfaz amigable y una integración directa con la plataforma en línea de Shopify. Sin embargo, en nuestra experiencia operativa en México, hemos identificado múltiples limitaciones que afectan significativamente la eficiencia y la satisfacción del cliente en un entorno minorista dinámico. A continuación, se detallan diez puntos críticos: 1. Falta de soporte para múltiples divisas Operando en una zona turística con clientela internacional, la incapacidad de Shopify POS para procesar pagos en efectivo en diferentes divisas sin conversión automática nos obliga a realizar cálculos manuales. Esto incrementa el riesgo de errores y ralentiza el proceso de pago, afectando negativamente la experiencia del cliente y la precisión en la gestión de caja. 2. Incompatibilidad con Shopify Payments en México En México, Shopify Payments no está disponible, lo que nos obliga a utilizar terminales de pago externas para procesar tarjetas de crédito. Esta situación complica la integración de pagos y puede generar inconsistencias en la conciliación de ventas. 3. Disponibilidad limitada de hardware La tienda de hardware de Shopify no realiza envíos a México, lo que nos obliga a adquirir equipos compatibles a través de minoristas externos. Esto puede resultar en dificultades para encontrar hardware compatible y en posibles problemas de integración. 4. Problemas de rendimiento y estabilidad Hemos experimentado lentitud y fallos en el sistema durante eventos de alta demanda, lo que resulta en interrupciones en el servicio y pérdida de ventas. Por ejemplo, durante un evento con gran afluencia de clientes, el sistema se volvió inoperativo, impidiendo procesar transacciones y generando largas filas y frustración entre los clientes. Estas interrupciones afectan la confianza en el sistema y la reputación de nuestro negocio. 5. Integración limitada con hardware de terceros La compatibilidad de Shopify POS con hardware de terceros es limitada, lo que nos ha obligado a invertir en equipos específicos de Shopify, incrementando los costos operativos. Por ejemplo, intentamos integrar un escáner de códigos de barras de un proveedor reconocido, pero la falta de compatibilidad nos forzó a adquirir el modelo específico que Shopify recomienda, generando gastos adicionales no previstos. 6. Soporte técnico insuficiente En situaciones críticas, el soporte técnico no ha respondido con la rapidez y eficacia necesarias. Al enfrentar un problema técnico que impedía procesar pagos, contactamos al soporte y recibimos una respuesta después de 48 horas, tiempo durante el cual nuestras operaciones se vieron gravemente afectadas. La falta de asistencia oportuna en momentos cruciales compromete la continuidad del negocio. 7. Funcionalidades básicas ausentes Funciones esenciales como la gestión avanzada de inventario y la personalización de recibos están ausentes o requieren costosas actualizaciones. Por ejemplo, la incapacidad de ajustar rápidamente los niveles de inventario desde el POS nos obliga a realizar estas modificaciones desde el panel de control en línea, lo que no es práctico en un entorno de venta al por menor de ritmo rápido. 8. Requisitos específicos de dispositivos La aplicación Shopify POS está disponible solo para dispositivos iOS y Android, excluyendo su uso en computadoras de escritorio o portátiles. Esto limita la flexibilidad operativa y puede requerir inversiones adicionales en dispositivos compatibles. 9. Actualizaciones obligatorias A partir del 3 de noviembre de 2023, Shopify POS requiere actualizaciones cada 180 días para mantener el acceso a la aplicación. Esto puede generar inconvenientes si no se gestionan adecuadamente las actualizaciones automáticas. 10. Falta de soporte para sistemas operativos beta La aplicación Shopify POS no admite sistemas operativos beta. Esto restringe el uso en dispositivos que no cumplen con estas especificaciones. Conclusión Aunque Shopify POS se integra bien con la plataforma en línea, sus limitaciones en el manejo de múltiples divisas, incompatibilidad con Shopify Payments en México, disponibilidad limitada de hardware, problemas de rendimiento, integración restringida con hardware de terceros, soporte técnico insuficiente, ausencia de funcionalidades básicas, requisitos específicos de dispositivos, actualizaciones obligatorias y falta de soporte para sistemas operativos beta lo hacen inadecuado para operaciones minoristas complejas y de alto volumen en el mercado mexicano. Es esencial que Shopify aborde estas deficiencias para ofrecer una solución POS más robusta y confiable.

If you're running a sizeable retail store, I would not advise against using Shopify POS. We transitioned from a specialized POS provider, which we had successfully used for seven years, only to realize within a week that moving to Shopify POS was a mistake. While Shopify is strong as an e-commerce platform, its POS system has serious limitations that make it unsuitable for established or multi-location retailers. Key Issues: Limited Support: Shopify advertises 24/7 support, but in reality, this is chat-only with slow response times, which can be frustrating when immediate assistance is needed for in-store operations. Nobody to help you out with transitioning from existing to Shopify POS. Weak Reporting and Search Functions: Extracting meaningful reports is a challenge, and the search functionality is cumbersome. This makes basic day-to-day tasks much harder than they should be. Poor CRM and Inventory Management: Customer relationship management and stock tracking are inefficient and often unreliable. Managing inventory across multiple locations is especially problematic, which is a major drawback for any growing retail business. High Maintenance Needs: Due to the above limitations, it seems almost necessary to dedicate an employee solely to troubleshooting and managing issues with the system. In summary, Shopify POS may be adequate for small or single-location stores, but for anyone managing multiple stores or a more complex retail operation, this system is far from optimal. It has potential as a website platform, but for POS, look elsewhere.

Sono molto dellusa, dopo una settimana che ho installato POS, cassa fiscale non si collega a software di Shopify (la uso manualmente, ma potevo fare nello stesso modo anche con la cassa di prima) e una settimana che scrivo ad assistenza (solo per chat) dopo poco appare problema tecnico della chat, e devo iniziare di nuovo con prossimo assistente, senza successo. Scritte su scritte senza la risuluzione del problema, spese soldi e solo delusione. Assistenza 7/24 non è vero, perché è inesistente

IT'S DEFINITELY A POS. Hangs constantly and has way too many bugs. Really terrible and tough to get help. We got the overpriced docking station hoping it would help to have everything connected but it doesn't. Shopify should be embarrassed.

I wish I could leave ZERO stars. Not retail friendly in any way. Constant glitches. We regret ever signing on to Shopify POS. Spare yourself and don’t use this company.

$89 a month for limited "PRO" features is such a waste for small businesses. The most troubling issues amongst a few are: the inability to limit my staff's view of order history. There should be an option to perhaps allow staff to only view at a certain location's order history on the day they're perhaps working, or within a certain time period. Any business owner will understand the concerns that come with staff being able to view the store's ENTIRE order history. There's not option to limit this. Furthermore, I have a traveling company that sells across local markets, to have to pay $89 per market to keep location inventory in sync is just ridiculous. Shopify POS is a ripe off.

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.

Shopify sells you this app with certain features, then at a whim, and with no notice to the users, takes away those features and functions. It is routinely changed (with no notice) so that you end up with multiple errors at the check out and constantly have to re-train staff, and re-work all your processes. As an example, the save cart feature (which they still advertise as available) is gone. The 'improvement' is clunky, hard to use, and full of bugs. They removed the one button to search for a client in your system to assign to a sale. They introduced a bug where the cursor jumps in the middle of you typing. They changed the only good thing they had (their search engine) so now it tries to auto correct your spelling, for names! This is just the most recent in a long line of frustrating choices by the devs at Shopify. Their careers page actually shows you they *encourage* their staff to change fast and create chaos. It's literally their value set and culture - to make sure that there is no stable system for users. We actively search for other pos systems routinely, and will continue to search until we find something that is better or Shopify finally listens to its user base and corrects this poorly designed system. We feel trapped and lied to. Go read the user forums before you decide to use this system.

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.
