POS CC Reader (Non Shopify-Payments)

[AlanK]

Hello All,

I have both an online store and POS, neither use Shopify-Payments. I am using Stripe and PayPal for processing sales.  I need a credit card reader for the POS system and it seems I can not use the Shopify hardware (card reader) as I am not using the the Shopify payment system (Shopify-Payments).  Is this correct?  I contacted strip about a credit card reader and it seems they only off CC Readers for their own POS system and I need payments to still go through Shopify to track them and handle inventory.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated. 

Thank you for you all for your time.

Any thoughts from anyone here? Does no one care? Shopify sure does not seem to.

Were you able to resolve this? I have the Shopify POS but use stripe as well and I’m having a hard time figuring out what sort of credit card reader I can use that will be compatible with both Shopify and Stripe. I really don’t understand why I’m unable to use the Shopify Tap & Chip reader with Stripe as my CC processor if I’m able to use Stripe as my processor on a Shopify website.

No change. I don’t understand it either. It’s 100% possible. Shopify just refuses to allow it  

its 100% corporate greed.

What are you using to accept card payments within your store? (if you’re still using Shopify with Stripe) I can’t seem to find any information on what equipment is accepted or not. 

Thanks so much for your help!

The ONLY way to use Shopify equipment is if you use Shopify Payments. Period. There is not a workaround or solution to this unconscionable issue. 

The equipment you use to process a payment will not integrate with Shopify POS and you are limited to receipt capabilities. Legally, you must provide a receipt from the actual processor, not just a receipt that states it was debit. So you in reality you have to provide the customer with two receipts.
