Shopify POS is currently limited to tablets. While some might try workarounds, desktops aren’t officially supported.
Don’t fret! QueueBuster POS is a cloud-based solution that works great on desktops. It integrates with Shopify, so you can manage inventory, sales, and customers in one place.
Here’s why QueueBuster is a good fit for desktops:
Familiar desktop experience
Seamless Shopify integration
Feature-rich for streamlined operations (inventory, sales, etc.)
Accessible from any device with internet (remote management)
Explore third-party options like QueueBuster to enjoy a desktop POS that integrates with Shopify, freeing you from tablet limitations.
Currently, Shopify POS is primarily designed for iOS and Android devices, and there isn’t an official desktop version available. Many users have been looking for alternatives for running POS on a desktop without relying on iPads.
If you’re considering a desktop solution, you might find our LamaPOS app useful. LamaPOS is tailored for Windows and macOS, integrating seamlessly with Shopify for managing in-store sales directly from your desktop or laptop.
For those interested, we offer a demo version of LamaPOS to explore its features. Feel free to reach out to us at support@lamapos.com if you’d like to learn more or try it out.
Hi guys version of bluestack emulator did you use/ are you using, i
downloaded one version, and when i went to download shopify pos it came
back ‘this device is not compatible’
I am looking for a way to use the barcode scanner connected to my desktop to be able to do inventory the same way that we can on the app. Will you explain an alternative? I have no reason for a tablet in my warehouse.
Do you have any plans to extend this application to desktop, can see in the forum no one wants to invest in tablets because we’re all using desktop right now. It’s too much of an investment to purchase laptop and trial shopify pos to see how stable it is. There’s reddit forums saying that the pos hangs/drops off with weak wifi signals. Connectivity with bluetooth scanners/card readers drop off. I need to know that this software along with your ‘defined’ list of hardware works and can handle large volumes of transactions before consider looking at purchasing hardware to transition. Right now the UI even has the ‘cart’ button, which doesn’t make sense operating in B&M, it’s as if there was no UX/UI design thought into the format/wording. There is also comments from a user saying there’s no end of day reports or its’ not live, have to wait for the data to sync. To me it seems like it’s not a priority and was built for you guys to cross sell another product with your ecom being what generates most revenue and this pos is just an add on product
Surely you guys have a roadmap of stories/epics planned at least a year out already. what are you guys actually looking to build/improve for shopify pos. what is a priority in your backlog based on user feedback
Maybe if you share how long this pos has been around, i can guage how serious you guys are about improving this pos software you have.
