Can we use Shopify POS in Australia

Can we use Shopify POS in Australia? What's the Credit card rate if we use it in Australia?

[Jason]

Yes but you'll need an external credit card reader. As Shopify Payments is not supported in Australia direct payments are not integrated.

[edit: I'm 99% on this. Someone with more up to date info may want to pipe up]

We're are in the UK and started using POS in the retail store yesterday, works fine with our external credit card reader (ie you process the payment outside of POS, but mark it as paid once the card approval has completed)

Hi Jake. As Jason and Michael said Shopify POS will absolutely work in Australia, but you'll need to use an external reader for accepting credit cards.
