Shopify has made a set of changes to speed up checkout in POS, the point-of-sale app you use at the register.
Card payments now process faster. Paying with cash, a gift card or a split payment also takes fewer taps.
Receipt handling is quicker too. When Shopify recognizes the buyer, the receipt screen comes up with the right choice already selected. To enter a customer's email at the register, you can use email domain shortcuts, so you type less.
Why it matters
Each sale saves a few seconds. Over a busy hour, that adds up and helps keep the line moving.
What to do this week
- Check your POS app version. These checkout changes need Shopify POS 11.17.0 or later.
- Update the app on each register or device if it has not updated on its own.
- Try a cash sale, a gift card and a split payment on a test order to see the new flow.
- Ask staff to use the email domain shortcuts for customers who give an email address.
