About Shopify POS

Shopify POS is a point-of-sale solution that helps retail businesses streamline operations related to marketing, inventory management, payment processing, product reporting and more on a centralized platform. 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.

Pros:

Easy to use and train employees. Inventory management is a breeze and integrates with every tool we used. Payment processing is a breeze and tracking customer profiles, well worth the money.

Initial set up is a little tedious, but once everything is up and running and synchronized it is a dream.

Imperfect, but a must-have if using Shopify

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.

Functionality

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.

Reasons for choosing Shopify POS

At the time, Square had frequent system outages. Shopify's reported uptime was better.

Reasons for switching to Shopify POS

We were already relying on Shopify for e-commerce. We made the switch to have full integration between in-person and online sales.

Pros:

It so easy to use and update at the same time. You do not have to have products in the pos to use when you are at events

Cons:

It is hard to connect the card readers. It took us a minute to get the card reader to work and once it did it was ok.

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.

Reasons for choosing Shopify POS

Shopify has better ecommerce options than square which we needed to prioritize.

A good platform for beginners.

Pros:

The learning curve with Shopify is fairly easy. They have tutorials, and a lot of the stuff necessary is intuitive. I never had issues with the security features, or with bugs or glitches. You do need a few plugins for a fully functional store, but most of them have free options.

Cons:

The marketing opportunities on Shopify aren't as easy to find as I'd hoped, and so my ROI wasn't as high as it could have been.

Reasons for choosing Shopify POS

At first, it was just ease of use. Shopify websites are definitely easier to set up than Wordpress with WooCommerce.

Shopify POS Works Great with 3rd Party Apps

Overall, we are able to find work arounds for most issues and eventually we get things working. The convenience of the Shopify POS App is sometimes overshadowed by a need for 3rd party apps, and lots of time fiddling around. A major plus is that most issues that I encounter are issues for everyone else too, so I can usually find my answers in an archive somewhere. The bad news is that some issues have been around for years and are still not resolved. For instance, the month-end inventory snapshot sometimes takes up to 2 weeks into the new month to show the month prior.

Functionality

Pros:

I love the ability to integrate our online store with our brick & mortar location. Before Shopify, we had to put in every order twice to capture the online sale. Now it's simple to manage our products both online and in store.

Cons:

It doesn't have the ability to do Weighted Average Cost (or any other costing method that isn't FIFO). Additionally, Shopify POS doesn't have any report to track adjustments made to inventory-- you must go into each individual item to view adjustment history per item. There's no way to track bulk adjustments made in the inventory screen. We use 3+ apps just to make Shopify POS work as a normal POS should.

Reasons for choosing Shopify POS

It came down to price at the end of the day. Also, I believe that the CFO was under the impression that Shopify could work with Weighted Average Cost -- we might have gone with something else if she'd known that it does not!

Reasons for switching to Shopify POS

Quickbooks POS informed us all that they would no longer be supporting their POS system and that sent everyone into a scramble. Shopify was presented as a partnered alternative with many incentives to make the switch to them. We're a non-profit operation with a small brick & mortar store and an even smaller online store so it seemed like a good fit for us!
