Why is my POS PRO checkout process so slow?

Shopify Discussion

Hi,

Lately, we are having very slow time checking out customer sales. Sales used to be very quick and easy and about 1-2 months ago it slowed to a crawl. I spoke with a POS PRO guru over the phone and they had me try using my phone data network to run a sample sales.

The difference was night and day. So, their conclusion was an internet/wifi network work problem on the merchant side. Its very possible that’s true, however this is happing on 2 iPads on 2 different networks. Both networks we have are running at maximum ISP speeds and no other devices/apps are acting slow. It appears only POS PRO app has slowed down,

I have done the following:

  • Made sure iPads and POS App is up-to-date.

  • Reset POS PRO account

  • Delete and reinstall POS PRO app

  • Reboot network router (many times)

  • Restored network router to default settings

  • Disabled firewall settings in router.

Has anyone experienced slow checkout on POS PRO? Does anyone have any tips or suggestions?

Thanks,

Mike

Can devs please respond to this topic?

I have a similar issue at my store. Takes about 20-30 seconds from card tap to printed receipt

Customers don’t want to be hanging around and neither do we, time is the biggest currency.
