The omnichannel selling module enables staff members to configure email-based carts, send product recommendations, manage online purchases and handle shipping operations. Shopify POS allows employees to categorize products based on multiple categories and variations, such as type, season, size, color and material. It lets team members request stock transfers, maintain inventory counts, create purchase orders and handle demand forecasting processes. Additionally, it enables professionals to create customer profiles with information, such as contact details, customer tags, order history, shipping details and marketing preferences. Shopify POS comes with an API, which allows businesses to integrate the platform with several third-party solutions. It is available as part of Shopify on monthly subscriptions. Support is extended via email, phone, documentation, community forum and other online measures. > > Verdict: Rated **4.6/5** by 242 users.

It makes selling products online a lot easier for business owners. > > **Cons**: I don’t like the cost that is associated with the product. Honestly, it is not worth the price of the product, especially if your not selling your own products. > > I don’t use it anymore due to the cost, because I have not sold any of my products while using the product. ----- ### "Imperfect, but a must-have if using Shopify" — 4.0/5 > **Eric** | *23 May 2025* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The interface between Shopify's ecommerce platform and its POS platform is almost seamless. Some very helpful natively included tools connect the two. To name a few: - You can easily make an order in Shopify POS for shipping or fulfillment from another location. - Store credit is interchangeable between POS and online. - The mobile app is excellent. - Setting up a new location (such as a pop-up market) is intuitive. - Inventory, customers, orders, reporting, and discounts are seamlessly integrated between Shopify e-commerce and Shopify POS. > > **Cons**: There are many features that you would assume are natively included in Shopify POS that are not present. Here are some striking examples: - You can not look up past orders by customer phone number. - You can not generate a list of past customer orders by line item. - Fractional product quantities are not supported. You can't sell 1.522 kg of apples. You would have to sell 1522 grams of apples, and price per gram. - Shopify POS is not supported on desktop computers. - Offline functionality is severely limited. - Printed receipts are capped at 50 line items. > > Shopify POS is improving all the time, but still has room to grow. If you are already relying on Shopify for e-commerce, Shopify POS is by far the best choice for in-person sales despite its limitations. It's tempting but ultimately inferior to use another POS platform and set up the necessary integrations between it and Shopify ecomm. If you are not relying on Shopify for e-commerce, investigate Shopify POS very carefully. Don't presume that it has certain features -- generate a complete list of every POS feature that you rely on, especially features that are specific to in-person sales, and verify that they are included natively. ----- ### "Shopify pos" — 4.0/5 > **Heather** | *9 May 2026* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Its super easy to set up and it makes it easy to take payments online and in person. You can send invoices and receipts easily. > > **Cons**: Its way to expensive on my opinion. Every transaction had a percentage that thou have to pay just for someone making a payment. > > Its great, I use it online to take payments from customers and I also use it in person if a customer doesn't have cash ----- ### "Strong, Reliable Checkout for Content-Driven Sales (with Some Workarounds for Digital Products)" — 5.0/5 > **Kristin** | *21 April 2026* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Even though we primarily use Shopify for digital products tied to our YouTube funnel, the biggest win is how seamlessly everything connects. Checkout is smooth, reliable, and converts well — which matters a lot when traffic is coming from video. It’s easy to set up products, manage offers, and integrate with tools we’re already using. We also love the flexibility — whether it’s one-time purchases, bundles, or limited-time offers, it’s all pretty straightforward to implement without needing a developer. > > **Cons**: Shopify isn’t really built for digital-first businesses out of the box, so there’s some workaround required. Things like delivering digital content, managing access, or customizing post-purchase flows often rely on third-party apps or extra setup. It can also get expensive once you start stacking apps to make everything work the way you want. Reporting is solid, but not always tailored to how we think about funnels or content-driven sales. > > Overall, it’s been a reliable and scalable platform for our business. We’re able to turn YouTube traffic into purchases without friction, and that’s been huge. While it takes some initial setup to make it work for digital products and content funnels, once it’s dialed in, it runs smoothly. It gives us the confidence that when we send traffic — especially from YouTube — the backend will hold up and convert. For a growing brand, that reliability matters more than anything. ----- ### "Overall great platform." — 4.0/5 > **April** | *24 April 2025* | Apparel & Fashion | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's extremely user friendly and doesn't take a lot of time to train someone. Great layout. > > **Cons**: Shopify will continuously make updates and not inform their customers about the changes. It isn't until we need to use a feature and it isn't there anymore, that we realize the changes. > > Overall it's a great platform. It's very user friendly and our staff have an easy time using it. ----- Page: 1 / 11\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/372951/shopify-pos?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/372951/shopify-pos) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
