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
Topic summary
A merchant seeks to set different prices for their online store (discounted) versus point-of-sale locations (regular prices). Multiple users confirm this basic functionality is not natively supported in Shopify, expressing frustration that such a fundamental feature is missing from a leading e-commerce platform.
Proposed workarounds include:
- Using wholesale apps like Wholesale Club to create variable pricing by customer tags
- Setting up automated discounts excluded from POS
- Duplicating products for each channel (online vs. POS)
Issues with workarounds:
- Product duplication causes severe inventory management problems, especially for stores with large catalogs (2000+ SKUs mentioned)
- One user reports duplicated products caused API errors at their automated warehouse
- Not practical for businesses with multiple locations
Potential solutions discussed:
- VariPrice app was mentioned but reported non-functional (creates redirect loops)
- MultiPrice app was recommended by its creator as a solution that avoids product duplication and supports different pricing per POS location
- One merchant opened a separate Shopify store exclusively for POS to work around the limitation
The discussion remains unresolved as a native feature request, with users expressing little hope for official implementation despite ongoing business impact.
