I Am Most Impressed With Shopify
I’m very happy with them and have convinced my friend to sign up. She is happy with it too
Pros
I love the ease of use and learning didn’t take too much time. I use it to cash out my customers and inventory management as well as website maintenance.
Cons
The price. The additional apps can be confusing. I wish they had better apps for social media posts. They did but the social companies pulled the apps as far as I know. I can’t afford paid ads all the time and the posts directly from my products across all socials were so helpful. Now I can only post in Facebook.
Reasons for Choosing Shopify POS
They had no way at the time of removing inventory from the website and my point of sale system.Reasons for Switching to Shopify POS
I was able to contact someone and ask questions at shopify. The others were also more expensive for hardware.- Industry: Apparel & Fashion

Shopify POS Works Great with 3rd Party Apps
Overall, we are able to find work arounds for most issues and eventually we get things working. The convenience of the Shopify POS App is sometimes overshadowed by a need for 3rd party apps, and lots of time fiddling around. A major plus is that most issues that I encounter are issues for everyone else too, so I can usually find my answers in an archive somewhere. The bad news is that some issues have been around for years and are still not resolved. For instance, the month-end inventory snapshot sometimes takes up to 2 weeks into the new month to show the month prior.
Pros
I love the ability to integrate our online store with our brick & mortar location. Before Shopify, we had to put in every order twice to capture the online sale. Now it's simple to manage our products both online and in store.
Cons
It doesn't have the ability to do Weighted Average Cost (or any other costing method that isn't FIFO). Additionally, Shopify POS doesn't have any report to track adjustments made to inventory-- you must go into each individual item to view adjustment history per item. There's no way to track bulk adjustments made in the inventory screen. We use 3+ apps just to make Shopify POS work as a normal POS should.
Alternatives Considered
LightspeedReasons for Choosing Shopify POS
Quickbooks POS informed us all that they would no longer be supporting their POS system and that sent everyone into a scramble. Shopify was presented as a partnered alternative with many incentives to make the switch to them. We're a non-profit operation with a small brick & mortar store and an even smaller online store so it seemed like a good fit for us!Switched From
QuickBooks DesktopReasons for Switching to Shopify POS
It came down to price at the end of the day. Also, I believe that the CFO was under the impression that Shopify could work with Weighted Average Cost -- we might have gone with something else if she'd known that it does not!- Industry: Building Materials

Reasons to Use
Shopify was a very simple product to learn. It was simple to reach to others so that there could be many working on a entering products. We went from an really old computer software that only allowed one person to input inventory. Shopify made that work very easy to do.
Pros
After being out of retail for a few years, shopify was simply easy to use and to teach to others.
Cons
It was hard to check on human erros. Although it was simple to use checking if items were put in correct tok time.

Savy, Trendy & Handy POS Software
Pros
Shopify POS is my go-to POS software. I use it for almost all purchases. It's easy to scan digital cards, which is useful since most people have tap-to-buy phone capabilities.
Cons
This software is regularly updated and secure. It doesn't have any growth areas in my opinion. It's perfect.

Easy system to connect POS with ecommerce
Pros
If you have a shopify ecommerce, Shopify POS is a no brainer to conect your shop inventory and sales to the online store
Cons
Adds the online fees to your phisical store, is better to pay for the software than paying fees for every sale. Mind the subscription you are using

Shopify POS has been efficient and reliable. It simplifies operations by connecting online and in-person sales, though the costs and reliance on apps may not suit all businesses.

Cons
Hardware costs can be high, and some features require additional paid apps. Additionally, transaction fees can add up if you’re not using Shopify Payments.

Fantastic Product!
It has been so good! I have the ability to market world wide from Zimbabwe and the website never goes down.
Pros
I find it very easy to use and their customer support is fantastic! I have had very few problems in the 8 years I have worked with them that they couldn't solve.
Cons
I would like to say nothing but once in a while a template is a bit of a challenge but that may be more to do with my abilities than them.
