Shopify POS Go is the all-in-one mobile POS device built for reliable, fast and simple on-the-floor selling. The hand-held device functions as a POS station, barcode scanner, and card reader, helping businesses easily process transactions without the hassle of additional hardware.
Shopify , a provider of essential internet infrastructure for commerce, has launched two point-of-sale (POS) solutions in Australia to empower merchants with the product and platform they need to design seamless, reliable, and integrated in-store experiences.
For businesses looking to turbocharge their countertop setup, Shopify’s best-in-class POS Terminal is now also available to Australian retail businesses. The payment hardware provides a full-featured customer display, guiding buyers through purchase with clear flows for checkout, payment, PIN entry, tipping, and receipt selection. POS Terminal accepts tap, chip, and swipe payments at the counter, with solid WiFi and Ethernet connectivity.
The launch of these POS solutions follows findings from a Shopify study that found that when it comes to making new product discoveries, preferences towards browsing in-store (42%) and online (41%) are almost evenly split among Australian consumers.
Shaun Broughton, Managing Director APAC at Shopify said: “We know that unified commerce is more important than ever, with our research showing a reasonably even spread between online and in-store preferences among consumers. But creating an efficient and differentiated in-store experience can often be quite challenging for merchants balancing outdated solutions that are disconnected from their online presence and back-office systems.”
“With the launch of the POS Go and Terminal, we’re doubling down on in-store retail and are thrilled to support Australian businesses with our next-generation point-of-sale technology. Both products work seamlessly with Shopify’s ecosystem of tools, apps, and omnichannel data reporting to create a unified experience, both for our merchants and their customers.”
Alexandra McNab, COO at Bared Footwear said: “Shopify’s new POS Go has had a fantastic impact in our retail channels, enabling an elevated shopping experience for which Bared is renowned. It’s early, but we’re already finding the device has enabled better end-to-end service with our floor team, reducing queues at the counter, and freeing us up to spend more time genuinely helping our customers. We’ve piloted the device in one store, and are definitely excited to roll them out across our network.”
