Question regarding the iPad POS stand/hardware availability and/or discontinuation

Hello!
Has there been any announcements regarding the discontinuation of Shopify iPad (USB-C) POS stands? I’m only seeing the Lightning version. Does anyone have a secret stash that they’d like to offload?!

Hello @jdegn

It’s understandably confusing, but there has been no official announcement from Shopify that the USB-C POS stand is permanently discontinued. The most likely reason it’s unavailable is either a significant stock and supply chain issue, or they are preparing to release a new, redesigned model for modern iPads while selling through the older Lightning stock first.

Your best immediate step is to contact Shopify Support directly to ask for an official timeline on a restock or a potential new model, as they may have internal information. While you wait, I’d highly recommend exploring high-quality third-party alternatives.

Reputable brands like Heckler Design or Studio Proper specialize in POS hardware and offer excellent, durable stands that work perfectly with the Shopify POS app and its card readers

Hope this helps!
