Self-service online store kiosk with in-person payment capture

Payments + Shipping & Fulfilment

Topic summary

A merchant is exploring how to build a self-service kiosk that displays their Shopify online store on a touchscreen, allowing customers to browse and checkout in-person. The goal is to integrate physical payment capture—via card swipe, insert, tap, or Apple Pay—using a device like Stripe’s Verifone P400 terminal connected to the tablet.

Key Technical Challenge:
The proposed flow would push order data to the Stripe Terminal at checkout, capture payment, then complete the Shopify order. The original poster seeks feedback on this approach and alternative payment terminal solutions.

Community Responses:

  • Multiple users express interest in similar setups, especially post-COVID, but report limited progress or unanswered questions.
  • Eflyn is mentioned as a company offering custom Shopify self-checkout kiosks (McDonald’s-style), though one user reports difficulty reaching them. A representative later confirms the solution is functional and now available across the US and Canada.
  • Partteam/OEMKiosks is referenced as another provider with Shopify integration.
  • Pendoo positions itself as building physical-retail-native self-checkout specifically for Shopify.
  • One user notes Shopify’s native checkout isn’t optimized for brick-and-mortar (e.g., can’t remove shipping options).

Status: Discussion remains open with no confirmed working implementation from the original poster.

Hi mattdronkers! Have you had any luck with this? I want to do the same thing but only offer a few products, and also collect shipping fees and shipping information.

I found a kiosk management app called Facelet (an employee commented in a forum thread in 2015) but it just barely misses the mark for me by not pulling in the custom order form on my product page and also by not collecting shipping fees.
