Shopify recently announced the ability to customize the in+store receipts
liquid file. I don’t know if this feature is available to everyone (anyone)
yet. But once it is you’ll be able to do it.
Topic summary
Main request: Display SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) on each item line within the Shopify POS (Point of Sale) app order view, especially for local pickup workflows. Current POS shows title, variant, quantity, and price, but not SKU, making in-store picking hard for large catalogs.
Workarounds: POS Pro supports customizing receipt templates to include SKU, which some have implemented successfully. However, this doesn’t solve the need to see SKU directly in the POS app while staff are mobile.
Operational pain: Similar product descriptions increase selection errors without SKU visibility. For local pickup, picking slips printed via receipt printers sometimes omit SKU, forcing staff to print from Shopify admin instead; one user suspects this is a temporary bug.
Shopify response: A staff member acknowledged the feedback and shared it with developers; no commitments or timelines provided.
Latest update: The requester cites Shopify Editions Winter ’24 and Summer ’24 teasers indicating SKU in POS and asks for a release timeline. Screenshots are attached to illustrate the teasers.
Status: Open/ongoing. No confirmed ETA; awaiting product update and potential fix for picking-slip SKU omission.
