Hi.
I would like to know if and when shopify Pos Will be available in Sweden?
I like the apps features but would also like to use it without a third party system.
Topic summary
Shopify POS is currently available in Sweden, but with significant limitations for local merchants.
Key Limitation:
- Shopify does not offer supported card readers compatible with Swedish krona
- Card payment processing requires third-party payment terminals and custom payment method setup
Current Status:
- The POS software and features are accessible to Swedish merchants
- Native payment hardware integration is not available
- No announced timeline for when Shopify might introduce native card readers for the Swedish market
Workaround:
Merchants must integrate external payment hardware to handle card transactions, meaning the original poster’s goal of using Shopify POS “without a third party system” is not currently achievable for payment processing.

Hi @Miixtr
I understand you’re eager to know if Shopify POS is available in Sweden and whether it can be used without relying on third-party systems. As of now, Shopify POS is indeed accessible to merchants in Sweden. However, it’s important to note that Shopify does not currently offer supported card readers compatible with the Swedish krona. This means that to process card payments, you’d need to use a third-party payment terminal and set up custom payment methods within the Shopify POS system.
While this setup allows you to utilize Shopify POS’s features, it does require integration with external payment hardware to handle card transactions. Unfortunately, there’s no specific timeline for when Shopify might introduce native card readers for the Swedish market. Therefore, for the time being, using a third-party system remains necessary for processing card payments in Sweden.
If you need any other assistance, feel free to reply and I will try my best to help.
Best regards,
Daisy
