Am I missing this information on the steps provided?

I have not yet imported Quickbooks POS data. Must I wait to do the import before downloading Shopify POS on all of our Ipads?

Btw, it would help if Shopify added QB POS integration for businesses who already have a Shopify store.

Hey, @TresaM .

Thanks for reaching out and posting this question!

You don’t have to wait to install Shopify POS onto your iPads and you can import your data at any time. We do have a free app, called QuickBooks Desktop Connector, that we’ve partnered with Intuit on for helping merchants migrate from QuickBooks POS. That being said, we also have a dedicated QuickBooks Migration Support team and we’d recommend getting in touch with them. They can help you with the migration process as well as check if you’re eligible for any promotional programs.
