Shopify is always evolving, with new features and updates rolling out regularly to help retailers stay ahead—but keeping up shouldn't be a chore. That's why this hub tracks every POS update and relevant Shopify changes in one place.
Every two weeks, Shopify releases an updated POS version and this post is refreshed to highlight what's new. If you have multiple retail locations, it's best practice to use an MDM (Mobile Device Management) to manage app versions, and to test each new release on a few devices before rolling it out to all stores. To see previous months' updates, scroll to the bottom of this post.

Updates in POS version 11.10 (July 6, 2026 release date)
Faster cash payments
What changed: Cash payments in Shopify POS are now quicker to complete. Suggested cash amounts appear first for one-tap payment, custom amount entry is still available when needed, and change due now appears in the checkout flow instead of on a separate screen.
Why it matters: This helps staff move through common cash payments with fewer taps and less interruption. For example, if a customer hands over a common bill amount, staff can select the suggested amount and continue through checkout faster.
Access: Automatically available in POS v11.10. No action required; all staff will have access. This feature is rolling out gradually, so you may not see it right away.

Faster split payment entry
What changed: Split payments in Shopify POS are now easier for staff to follow. Staff choose the payment type first, then enter the amount for that payment on a separate screen.
Why it matters: This helps when customers pay with more than one payment method, like cash and card or multiple cards. Each step is more focused, so staff can see what they’re doing and move through multi-payment checkouts with more confidence.
Access: Automatically available in POS v11.10. No action required; all staff will have access.

What changed: Supported email fields in Shopify POS can now suggest common domains, like @gmail.com, while staff or customers enter an email address. This helps complete customer emails with fewer taps.
Why it matters: Email domain shortcuts are useful when staff are adding customer details, sending digital receipts, or entering contact information during checkout. They help reduce typing and make it easier to capture accurate customer emails.
Access: Automatically available in POS v11.10. No action required; all staff will have access.

Receipt choices are streamlined
What changed: We've made two improvements to the receipt delivery process:
-
When customer details are added before payment, if your checkout does not have a customer facing display connected, staff can now skip turning the POS tablet around for the customer-facing receipt step and finish checkout right away.
-
When a customer selects their receipt preference on a connected customer-facing display, that choice now shows up on the staff POS device so staff can see what's already been selected instead of asking again.
Why it matters: Every extra tap and screen-turn adds up during a busy rush. These changes cut out redundant steps so lines move faster, staff spend less time managing the receipt handoff, and customers aren't asked the same question twice. The result is a smoother, quicker finish to every sale.
Access: Automatically available in POS v11.10. No action required; all staff will have access.

Customize all POS receipts in one editor
What changed: Shopify POS now uses one unified printed receipt template across sale, return, exchange, gift, and gift card receipts. Merchants can manage receipt content in the POS channel content editor with bounded customization for header and footer content, smart defaults for branding and business identifiers, and updated gift receipts that remove line items. The new template also adds built-in fields like VAT/GST/PST ID, SIRET number for France, return policy, signature line, and custom text or Liquid blocks without requiring full-template Liquid edits.
Why it matters: Less per-location maintenance, more consistent receipts, and lower risk of missing a regional requirement during a sale or return. Common changes that used to need Liquid (return policies, signature capture, custom text) are now native fields with a real-time preview.
Access: We're rolling this out in phased waves across the POS channel. It will be available to all Shopify POS merchants except those located in Italy. Merchants in Italy rely on the Epson RT printer to fiscalize transactions today. All receipt content and presentation is handled via the Epson RT printer and cannot be altered within Shopify.
Merchants with simple customizations will be migrated automatically, while merchants who had customized their receipts with the Liquid editor have until January 1, 2027 to transition before Liquid editing is deprecated then.
Know at a glance whether you're ready to sell
Why it matters: No more guessing whether your store is ready to sell. Instead of discovering a problem when a sale fails, you see connection and hardware status up front, get next-best actions like enabling offline checkout, and keep serving customers through a disruption.
Access: Automatically available in POS v11.10. Access the Connectivity screen by hitting the associated icon on the bottom left of the Shopify POS app.

Add a keyboard to your POS counter setup
What changed: The Keychron B1 Pro keyboard is now available directly from the Shopify Hardware Store. The keyboard is compatible with Shopify POS and supports Bluetooth, 2.4GHz wireless, and wired USB-C connections, giving retail teams more flexibility for keyboard-driven POS workflows.
Why it matters: For merchants running busy countertop POS setups, a physical keyboard can make common tasks like item search, cart management, and checkout feel faster and more familiar for staff through keyboard shortcuts.
Access: Available as of June 24, 2026 in the Shopify Hardware Store for US merchants.
