SMALL BUSINESSES BEWARE

Shopify is engaging in deceptive and fraudulent business practices and will your legitimate business funds are not safe with Shopify! Shopify will lie to your face and tell you that support chat can’t answer your questions, only Shopify Team leads can lie to your face and force financial harm on your business

Great app!

Great overall experience! Easy and fast to use. The only problem is the receipt is hard to send via email or text to the customer, it is complicated to get the email/number correct. I have not yet used the new version and I hope that that small problem is solved. I totally recommend this app to all small businesses with Shopify! It is a very wonderful experience.

★★★☆☆ Canada · v10.0.3 · 24 Apr 2025

New update a downgrade

The new update has removed the colours from the tiles, so they all blend together and its difficult to quickly pick the option I want. This must be even worse if you have low vision! Why change something that wasnt broken, just to make it worse? I guess to make it look "cleaner", at the expense of usability. Otherwise, this app often drops bluetooth connections, skips letters when were searching products, and has issues collecting payments during checkout. 3 stars is generous.

What happened?!

This used to be a great app but now doesn't function properly. I loved the bar code scanner but now it almost never works. Same thing with the card reader it almost never connects causing loss in sales! I've tried using it on multiple devices and it's the same on all of them! I'm seriously considering changing platforms for my buisness.

The app could be great, but having it fail while making a sale is a huge issue

Multiple times now I’ve had to completely uninstall and reinstall the app while trying to make a sale at a show. This is an insane experience, and makes it really hard to have confidence. What happens is the app locks up when showing variants, and never loads them. I’ve thrown away the app, even logged out and back in, it only corrects after throwing the app away. And after the last update, it’s started blocking the product listing when you search with the keyboard, so now I have to scroll through all of my products to find the right one. It’s a seriously poor experience for both me and my customers.

HORRIBLE UPDATE

Please fix this, the newest update is ruining our in store sales. Every time someone checks out the buttons for cash go away and we had to force close and try and click it fast before the buttons disappear and then we have to force close the app between every purchase because the screen won’t clear and freezes and then doesn’t even give us an option to print a receipt. The new update and recent ones have been a NIGHTMARE. I don’t know how we can continue using Shopify in our brick and mortar if this continues because we can’t take all of this chaos anymore and it is SO SLOW! On top of that the new update for returns and exchanges is the worst! So confusing and impossible to figure out how to do an exchange. Are humans even making these updates?! They make no sense!!

Tap and Pay not working

The Tap and Pay refused to work on my iPhone 15 ProMax on a craft show day. I hadn’t used it since December. As I have had a similar problem in the past, I assumed it was an update. When I went to test it a few days later to troubleshoot it, it was suddenly working fine. Hopefully whatever the problem was, it was resolved.

Can yall STOP with the updates??

The interface of the app changes every. damn. month. Who did you hire for this, and why are they perpetually dissatisfied with their own work? In a busy retail space when new employees get hired all the time, it’s a huge headache to re-learn how to use the app every couple of weeks. The checkout is different, the discounts are different, the buttons get shuffled around and changed CONSTANTLY. It also now *encourages* you to collect the personal information of customers without their consent. We’re so tired.

Tap & Chip reader

I’m in #3 in one year. When the first one wouldn’t work anymore they replaced it. But it was at Xmas time and I had no back up. Had to wait 10 days to receive a new one. Then I orders a second to have on hand in case it broke again and us be left with none again. The second one lasted 6 months when I had t replace it again. Wouldn’t charge then it won’t connect. I’m tired of replacing these abs being stuck with nothing. I looked into changing to Clover but then I still have to pay fees to shopify. Not overly impressed.

Awful update

What is going on with the POS Shopify app? This update is hiding checkout options when we need customers to pay. Freezing when an order is able to finish so we have to force close the app all day between purchases. Where in the world or how do you do an exchange??? The button says return or exchange but only gives return option. This app has become horrendous lately for our business

Customer View always disconnected in short time

I always use iPad Shopify pos with customers view by Android tablet. Both app is latest version always and turn off power saving mode for both, but still disconnected customer view in minutes. So every time we need to scan QR code and connect to customer view again and again.... at least 5-6times per a day. it makes our shop staff stressfull actually...

【追記】問い合わせ後の返信が異様に早い!

【オーナーなのにログインできない問題】 無料のLiteプランにしてから、こちらのアプリをダウンロードしたのですが、PINコードが作成できません。 オーナーでもログインするために必要なPINコードを作成するのに、有料版のProにし、「スタッフ」の項目で権限を与えてPINコードを作成する必要があります。 使い勝手が悪いと感じる。。 ↓ パソコンからShopifyの「Point of Sale」→ 「概要」の下の方にある「何かお困りですか?」の「サポートに連絡する」から、上記の問題について質問する。 ただし、英語で質問する必要あるので、翻訳アプリを使って質問を送る。 ↓ すると、約10分後で返答が帰ってくる! 英語だったので、翻訳アプリを使いながら操作してみる。 «操作手順» (オーナーのアカウントで) ストアの「設定」→「プランと権限」→「自分の名前を見つけてタップ」 →「POSまでスクロール」→「ピンを生成してメモ」→「保存をクリック」 ↓ この手順で再度ログインしたら、いけました! 英語対応しかないのが残念ですが、メール対応が異様に早く、解決できたので星4つにします。 ありがとうございました!

Bugs never seem to get fixed

Known bugs seem to not get fixed -Bug with barcode scanner will fill barcode into search bar but doesn’t add product to cart. Rebooting ipad works sometime, other times we have to forget and pair scanner again. This happens with multiple different scanners and ipads almost daily. - Shopify removed search feature within customer orders on new POS. This was a great feature when customers want us to search for certain products they have purchased in the past.

Tap to Pay

Please Shopify, FIX YOUR TAP TO PAY. I have to disconnect and reconnect my tap to pay reader multiple times a day. This is extremely disruptive and annoying to both staff and customers. This never used to happen and now it happens daily. I’ve tried everything on support, I’ve tried different tap to pay readers (we have 3) and nothing keeps them connected.
