Serial Number Tracking In Shopify POS + E-Comm

Has there any solid developments on capturing serial numbers natively in Shopify POS or E-Comm?

It’s a shame to think that Shopify is losing out on so much revenue from Apple Authorized Campus Stores or re-sellers who require their POS systems to include/track serial numbers on receipts for them to be considered valid in the eyes of Apple.

We’ve been ready to make the switch but just can’t even consider it because there’s no system in place for tracking serials.

Hope to hear an update or valid solution regarding this soon!

Hello, @SVACampusStore .

Serializer - Product Tracking may be able to help. With the app you can add unique serial numbers or any other custom item information to your sold products in Shopify admin or add this information to the products in Shopify POS cart. Serial numbers are searchable and linked to the order and customer, so you could easily find more information about any specific sold item. The app supports order printing capability, so you could include the serial numbers in your printed invoices as well.

Hi everyone

We’re exploring the idea of building a Shopify app that helps merchants track and assign unique serial numbers to products — especially for in-store (POS) sales.

If you’ve ever struggled with serial number tracking for returns, warranties, shrink prevention, or compliance, we’d love to hear from you.

@SVACampusStore You can now utilize SKUSavvy for serialization tracking of unique inventory and sell it via Shopify POS via the ScanSavvy app. So this will enable you to start off the serialization process by creating a PO and scanning in serial numbers upon receiving. You can have serial numbers as optional, required, or disabled on your product as well.

Once you have serialized inventory you can install the ScanSavvy Shopify POS extension which will enable you to scan the serialized inventory directly from the POS app, which will pull up the unique serialized inventory piece to put it in the cart. Upon making the sale, that unique serial number is taken out of stock on your Shopify and SKUSavvy account so serial number tracking is aligned and traced back to that specific sale.

Other features of SKUSavvy serialization:

  • Combine serialization with lot tracking and expiration dates
  • Store serial numbers to bin locations for simple pick-pack-ship operations
  • Limit serial number sales based on available stock
  • Serial number barcode generation
  • Easily connect serial numbers to sell through Shopify POS

Get the serialization app and add the ScanSavvy Shopify POS app for full serial number tracking. Reach out with questions or to get a demo.
