Having Employees place orders through Shopify

Topic summary

A company wants employees to place orders through Shopify but faces a compatibility issue: Shopify POS Pro doesn’t support desktop computers, and all staff use Windows desktops.

Proposed workaround: The user is exploring whether office staff could log into the Shopify backend (admin panel) as staff members to perform the same functions as POS Pro would.

Current status: The question remains unanswered—no confirmation yet on whether the admin backend can effectively replicate POS Pro functionality for desktop-based order entry.

I have understanding that Shopify POS Pro does not support desktop computers, which is a big hurdle for my company since everyone here uses a windows desktop computer.

Is there a way that my office staff can login into the backend of Shopify if I make them all staff and basically do what Shopify POS does?
