It is my understanding that this simple and basic function is not something that the fancy Shopify system can handle.

I was only talking to a client yesterday about this very issue. I’ve seen it on another system but as far as I am aware it is not available on Shopify. They assume that you will want to sell the product at the same price in-store and online.

The only way round it is to use one of the wholesale apps like Wholesale Club which allows you to offer variable pricing by customer tag etc. https://apps.shopify.com/wholesale-club
The other option is to use automated discounts and exclude from POS.

This is so important and needed for everyone who is working with a webshop and POS with multiple locations. This could be the deal breaker for me since I can no longer work around this with discounts etc. I want to add the list prices for each location separately.

I am not even 1% surprised that Shopify doesn’t support this natively, I have long since given up hope that they offer anything beyond the most basic fuctionality out of the box. But I’m very surprised that there isn’t an app that allows for this. I am about to need this feature very badly and if I can’t do with with Shopify I will have to switch to something else.

Hi, all.

Thank you for reaching out and contributing to the thread.

I can definitely understand the importance of having this functionality to be able to set up different prices for Point of Sale and the Online Store. While this is not a native feature currently, I will be passing along your feedback to our product development team for consideration. I recommend keeping our Shopify Changelog handy to stay up to date with new features.

In the meantime, a workaround is duplicating your products and making each product available on Point of Sale and the Online Store respectively.

Acknowlegement is always appreciated but we all know this will just be tossed on the pile with all the other requests that haven’t seen any movement for 5+ years.

The suggestion of duplicating products may work for some, but my store has 2000+ products so it isn’t realistic. Also once you split the products into two, the inventory numbers are no longer linked.

I have emailed a couple of the companies that make shopify apps with similiar but not quite right functionality to ask if they will consider adding this feature. I think that is the only way it will become a reality anytime soon.

Have you found any solution to this problem? I was looking at apps today and there is an app, but it has no reviews or sample stores so I am weary. It is called VariPrice - POS Custom Pricing

Thanks for the hint you are referring to this one: https://apps.shopify.com/variprice

I just looked it up and since there is a free plan that will be sufficient for me, I‘ll go and give it a try. It is relatively new (3 weeks) so maybe that’s why there are no reviews.

Did you try out this app? Any luck? I was looking at it also a few weeks ago.

Duplicating our products? Thats the answer?

So inventory visibility be damned, we cant get a basic feature in the supposed #1 ecommerce platform?

Here is a quick feedback from someone with three different locations who did duplicate products as a work around. It caused severe problems at our automated warehouse because the API wasn’t able to distinguish the original product from the copy of it. Which lead to wrong connections between the (copied) products and the stock count in our warehouse.

Please add this crucial feature. Each week I am receiving ads how great Shopify POS is but this elemental feature is still missing.

I installed it but it didn’t work. It adds a button to the POS dashboard but that button creates a loop back to the website of the plugin.

14

This is still really important to me and negatively affecting my business becasue I can’t easily implement this very very basic request. I have 0% hope this will be implemented but one can dream.

Duplicating product will cause inventory issues and for large scale sku it’s not practical.

16

You can use the app MultiPrice to set variable pricing for online store vs. POS locations, without needing to duplicate products which causes inventory issues. I created the app after hearing so many store owners struggle with this issue. Hope it solves your problem!

Creating an app for an in-demand feature is smart. I wish you success.

I’m wondering if you app will handle different prices across different locations on the website? E.g. buy in New York = $100, Miami = $90?

Thanks @JacobBannier ! My app allows for setting different prices for each physical location, i.e. the POS system in New York and POS system in Miami can show different prices. The online store prices can also be different but not by user location, i.e show different online store price for a user in Miami vs. New York

Hi, we just installed your app. It seems to work nicely on Firefox (Win and Mac) but freezes Shopify on Safari Version 18.5 on an iMac 2017.
