Hey, I was wondering if anybody has had any success with finding a solution of running your POS system on desktop. I do not want to buy an iPad, and then be tied down by the product limits. If a Shopify guru sees this, can we get an update on if there is any desktop plans in the works or if there i…

I guess it depends on the kind of detail you need on special orders. We do a quick sale for the deposit (which we take in our shop on special orders), making sure a good description is put in. We then use notes and add customer details as per usual and unmark the item as fulfilled to it comes up in …

Those are all great ideas! For us it would be quite a load on the front-end, in terms of Shopify products appearing in POS to search and select. I think there are loading issues on the iPads once the stock listing surpasses certain limits. We have jewelry vendors who have product catalogs each consi…

That’s a great solution. I think I’m right in saying products don’t load onto the iPad until they’re triggered as available in POS because you’re absolutely right in saying it will slow down immensely if you have too large a catalogue. I guess not using images would help a lot as well. I’m going…

Old post but still watching. Speaking as someone who’s worked in both retail and retail tech for the last 15 years or so, what I see you want as as POS is: definitely touchscreen. stable. reasonably priced. Given that you can buy a brand new iPad for $379 or so and given how stable it i…

Dear @JoseH , Retailers are really fond of having a POS system on desktop since it will guarantee a more consistent connection between online and offline platforms (as better Internet connection). It’s really unfortunate that Shopify POS hasn’t support POS system on the PC. However, Shopify App st…

Hi Greg, Great input. I hope you can give some advise… we have been running shopify for past 7+ years for our online b2b and b2c channels… works great! In the past we have used POS for b2b trade-shows… again all great!.. BUT we are about to open a new showroom in Australia and want to use the POS sy…

Even though I already had a USB Star Micronics receipt printer for my previous POS system (Lightspeed) I purchased the recommended Star Micronics Bluetooth receipt printer and an iPad and a card reader and a card reader stand. The receipt printer didn’t work and now Shopify says they no longer recom…
