Shopify POS Review

PROS: I’ve been long waiting for Shopify POS on Android devices and finally, it’s available now. It’s a relief because I do not need to use 3rd party collection applications anymore.

CONS: Originally, the software is only available on iPad and iPhone. It took a while before they finally extended their offerings to Android operating systems. Before they release the Android apps, I was using Square. It’s a bit frustrating because I already have a system established for it and it would be a waste to get rid of it now.

PROS: Specifically, I like the ease and speed of searching stuff in the inventory. Overall, Shopify POS is pretty durable and powerful software.

CONS: I had to wait for so long to register the card reader that I’ll be using and it is inconvenient especially when I have to ring up clients. Now, we had a new chip reader and hopefully, it would work seamlessly and better than the card reader.

PROS: I was able to understand how to use Shopify POS without breaking a sweat because of its intuitive interface. At times when I did not understand how to execute an action on the platform, I only had to get in touch with the product's customer care team. Additionally, the hardware's accompaniments provide us with the whole spectrum of retail experience, from searching the inventory to customizing our receipts.

CONS: It would be great if Shopify POS could be enhanced with additional tools for customer data gathering. This need came up when I needed to generate a pre-order via the web app. This meant that the customer had to input his credit card details in the e-store in person instead of simply swiping his card through the reader.

PROS: Our business set up an online shop with a well-known e-commerce platform. Apart from that though, we have been into selling our goods at fairs and markets during weekends. With Shopify POS, we can sell our stock with ease!

CONS: So far there is nothing to dislike about Shopify POS since we have not encountered any issue in the use of this software.

PROS: It integrates all our sales transactions. Payments are also streamlined, fast and accurate. Processing receipts is smooth. At the end of the day, generating a report to consolidate all these transactions is a cinch. No more manual, tedious work that consumes much of my nights before.

CONS: Quite difficult to learn at first. Shopify should have more basic videos on how to integrate the POS into the e-commerce platform and even into the card reader. The system is testy at times due to wrong configurations by user.

PROS: As a business that operates multiple pop-up shops, Shopify POS grants us the flexibility to make our daily processes faster. Whoever handles the event can download the app and login is fast. Also, connecting our square credit card reader is quicker than before.

CONS: The software is excellent and makes the initial operations fast. However, when it comes to completing sales, it takes a lot of processes. I wish they make it more straightforward.

PROS: With Shopify POS, anyone who wishes to establish or operate a business can now do it in one robust platform. Whether you want to build a website, offer discounts to clients, or set up shipping in a particular location, the software makes it all easy.

CONS: The software’s versatility sometimes makes things confusing for users. Good thing there is YouTube and Google that help me make sure I am doing the right thing.

PROS: This tool really helped make accounting easier for me since it's the only thing I need to use when using my phone to pay with my credit cards. I don't have to sift through multiple apps since there's only one place where my money has to be processed.

CONS: I think it may have compatibility problems with the iPhone X since it isn't working as well when I use it on that model. I am also not a big fan of how often updates happen just so it keeps working.

PROS: I just love how this software helps me establish my own store. It got all I need and offers the options necessary for running my business, from orders and shipping to payouts and handling taxes. Highly recommended.

CONS: While Shopify POS works great on the desktop, it tends to be confusing when used on the phone. I find it hard to master its features.

PROS: There are a lot of things I like about this tool, but the best thing about it is how user-friendly it is and how that leads to business processes that move along smoothly. There wasn't a steep learning curve when it came to using this tool, and I was able to get the hang of it after just a couple of tries. I also found it easy to implement changes on the spot, and the changes are reflected immediately and automatically.

CONS: I really think that this tool should be able to work even without WiFi or when it's offline because you won't always have an internet location in your location, as I know from personal experience. I have also encountered times when there are changes present that I didn't make, but I'm not sure if this is because of the tool or me being unfamiliar with some of the functions as of now.

PROS: The ease of use of Shopify POS is the most outstanding thing about it. Because of that, it is rather easy for us to update our website and make it more appealing to visitors. Apart from that, this platform helps our business can take and process orders smoothly. Plus, the customer service is excellent.

CONS: It would be great if Shopify POS enhanced the order dashboard with additional options. Customers always change their minds once orders are set and it is still very much of a hassle for us to edit them.

PROS: We never have problems taking our business out in the farmers' markets, pop-up shops, etc because of Shopify POS. This tool has made payment processing, tracking sales, and checking inventory easier and possibly even when we’re on the go.

CONS: Things get a bit complex when the attachment for scanning cards gets disconnected.

PROS: Processing transactions is fast, simple and easy. It's flexible and got the native app for my phone. I can bring it with me on vendor events, do the transaction right on location. I can also pull stocks from our nearest warehouse without losing track of the items' source. This way, sales records per warehouse are kept intact.

CONS: The card reader can be glitchy, so I end up entering the number manually. Not a big deal, but this can easily be solved had the reader app been built into the main POS.

PROS: It's easy to learn, set up and use. My team has no problem getting up to speed with the features. It has a great degree of flexibility, whether for a pop-up, retail, e-commerce, and events. It's Android/iOS apps help you skip the need to install expensive hardware, I use my phone to take orders. This system brings our order and inventory closer together.

CONS: It lacks the option to identify the sales source. Everything is lumped under one area.
