How Do I Enable POS on Shopify?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 6:52 pm

Shopify is a platform for businesses of all sizes to create an online store. POS, or point of sale, is a feature that allows businesses to sell in-person as well as online. In order to use POS, businesses must first enable the feature in their Shopify account.

Enabling POS is simple and can be done in just a few steps:

PRO TIP: If you are enabling POS on Shopify for the first time, be aware that there are some potential risks.

1. There is a chance that your credit card information could be stolen if you are not using a secure connection.

2. There is also a chance that your Shopify account could be hacked if you are not using a strong password.

3. Finally, be sure to keep your POS software and device up-to-date to reduce the risk of vulnerabilities.

  1. Log into your Shopify account and go to Settings.
  2. Under Sales Channels, select POS. If you do not see POS listed, click + Add sales channel and select POS from the list.
  3. Enter your business information. This includes your business name, address, phone number, and website. You will also need to enter the currency you want to use for POS transactions.
  4. Enter your credit card information. This is necessary in order to process payments through POS. You can either enter your own credit card information or set up a merchant account with Shopify.
  5. Enable POS for your online store.

    This will allow you to take orders through POS even if you are not selling in person. To do this, go to Settings > Checkout > Order processing and select POS from the drop-down menu next to “Where should Shopify process orders from your POS? “

Now that you’ve enabled POS, you’re ready to start taking orders! For more information on how to use POS, check out Shopify’s POS manual.

Enabling POS on Shopify is a simple process that can be completed in just a few steps. By following the steps above, businesses will be able to start taking orders through POS in no time.
