Plans for selling in person

The total cost of Shopify POS is a combination of your plan, transaction fees, and POS Pro locations.

Your plan is the foundation for your account. It gives you access to point of sale, online sales, payments processing, marketing, analytics, shipping tools, and more.

Your transaction fees are a percentage automatically debited from each sale made through Shopify. Transaction fees will depend on the plan you choose.

POS Pro is the subscription for your retail locations. It gives you access to advanced POS features such as staff, inventory, and customer relationship management at select locations. We recommend POS Pro locations for businesses that have a lot of foot traffic, multiple tiers of staff, or a large inventory catalog. Shopify POS Pro is an additional $89 USD/month billed yearly for each location.

There are a few things businesses need to set up a new POS. To start with Shopify POS, you'll need a smartphone or tablet and a Shopify card reader.

You may also choose to add hardware accessories to complete your POS setup. Build out your checkout counter with Shopify’s flexible iPad stand and compatible hardware accessories like barcode scanners, cash drawers, receipt printers, and more. Browse Shopify hardware.

Bringing your own hardware accessories? Check if they’re compatible.

POS Pro and POS Lite are the settings for your retail stores.

POS Lite is included with every Shopify plan. On POS Lite, you can take in-person payments, capture basic customer information, and accept limited returns and exchanges.

POS Pro is the upgrade for your retail locations and it costs $89 USD/month/location. On POS Pro, you get advanced features designed for businesses selling from a permanent retail location.

The Pro subscription adds the following features:

• Unlimited POS logins for staff
• More control over staff permissions
• Rich customer profiles and lifetime value reporting
• Faster workflows for discounts, exchanges, stock transfers, and in-store pickups
• Deeper insights about product performance with in-depth inventory reporting

If your retail business sees a lot of foot traffic, has multiple levels of staff, or carries an extensive product catalog, we recommend POS Pro for your locations.

Yes, all plans come with the ability to sell online. Depending on the plan you choose, with Shopify you can build and manage a website and sell on social media and online marketplaces. Learn more about online plans.

You can use Shopify POS in nearly every country in the world. However, to get the full benefits of Shopify POS we recommend using Shopify Payments and integrated Shopify POS hardware, both of which are available only in select regions. To learn if Shopify Payments and Shopify POS hardware is available where you are, check out the supported countries and regions on the Shopify Help Center.
