Shopify POS Retail Package: POS System for Shopify

Thanks to Shopify POS, you can get the extra functions by adding the retail package to your Shopify plan.

For the retail package, you can generate a retail store experience by using additional hardware with Shopify POS. By using a barcode printer, you can easily print barcodes for your products as well as add them to the cart only with scanning the barcode with a barcode scanner. Besides that, in order to print receipts, gift receipts, and paper gift cards for your customers, you can also integrate a receipt printer for this.

Another great benefit that the retail package brings, it gives you functions that can help manage your e-commerce store as register shifts, cash tracking, staff PINs, and saved carts.
