What Is Shopify POS?
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.

Reviews of Shopify POS
best popular e-commerce platform used by businesses of all sizes to set up and manage online stores
Comments: Shopify offers extensive customer support through various channels, including live chat, email, and phone support. They also provide a wealth of resources and guides to help you set up and manage your store.
Pros:
Shopify is known for its user-friendly and intuitive interface, making it accessible even for those without a technical background.
Cons:
While Shopify provides a good range of themes and customization options, it may not offer the same level of design flexibility as some other platforms.
Alternatives Considered:
I Am Most Impressed With Shopify
Comments: I’m very happy with them and have convinced my friend to sign up. She is happy with it too
Pros:
I love the ease of use and learning didn’t take too much time. I use it to cash out my customers and inventory management as well as website maintenance.
Cons:
The price. The additional apps can be confusing. I wish they had better apps for social media posts. They did but the social companies pulled the apps as far as I know. I can’t afford paid ads all the time and the posts directly from my products across all socials were so helpful. Now I can only post in Facebook.

A Solid Option for Small Businesses, But Not Without Its Drawbacks
Comments: I have a love-hate relationship with Shopify POS. On the one hand, it integrates seamlessly with Shopify E-commerce, which makes life much easier. On the other hand, it is not very useful as a standalone POS system. If you are not using Shopify E-commerce, I would recommend staying away from Shopify POS, as you will likely be disappointed with the lack of basic features. Additionally, customer support is difficult to reach and unhelpful.
Pros:
Shopify POS has a user-friendly interface that is easy to learn and use, even for new business owners. It integrates seamlessly with Shopify e-commerce, making it easy to manage both your online and in-store sales.
Cons:
Shopify POS is sluggish, slow on older devices, and incompatible with non-Shopify hardware. The Order Printer app is broken even on the native iOS platform. There is no credit card payment gateway integration for merchants in the Middle East, and no inventory reporting.
Great pos for Shopify users
Comments: It does what we needed it to do.
Pros:
East to set up, integrates with full Shopify inventory, and low downtime. Hardware is good. Staff is able to use with little training.
Cons:
I don’t have anything negative to say really.
Alternatives Considered:
