For the most part, very good in helping us identify orders that have come in that have been fulfilled vs. ones that still need to be fulfilled.

Performance of Shopify POS Across Market Features

Shopify POS Likes & Dislikes

Like

Visiually it's pretty easy to follow.

Like

Adaptable to different locations Link to ecommerce system Customer profile/ account linking for existing and past orders

Like

How easy it is to integrate with our website and the fact it doesn't cost us any extra is a big bonus.

Dislike

For a while we couldn't merge accounts. Now we can. There is also a lag when our order volume gets really high and sometimes orders won't show up for several minutes or hours. Also, sometimes the software goes down.

Dislike

Limitations in being able to customise shipping methods, discounts and products to POS specific

Dislike

Having to set up different versions of a product for different store types. E.g. Outlet.
