Shopify POS app enables merchants to sell from any device at any time

Hundreds of thousands of merchants are using Shopify in various parts of the world to sell their products. Ottawa-based Shopify provides merchants with their own online stores and point-of-sale systems at a low monthly cost. And while Shopify sells specialized equipment to build a point-of-sale system, you already have a cheaper alternative at your disposal. The Shopify POS app makes it insanely easy to use your Android device as a point-of-sale system that’s accessible anytime and anywhere.

Shopify POS was previously only available for Apple’s iPhone and iPad devices; however, the company is today putting the companion app in the Play Store to open the gates to an even larger audience. Merchants with Android devices are now able to take advantage of Shopify’s seamless mobile offering.

Here’s what you’ll need to use Shopify POS for Android:

Your Shopify account needs to use Shopify Payments.
Your Android device needs to use Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) or higher.
Your Android device needs to have internet access (either wi-fi or mobile data).
If you want to accept credit card payments using a card reader, you need to use Shopify-supported hardware.

Everything that merchants know and love about Shopify stick around with Shopify POS. Customers can still pay with cash, credit or debit while merchants see sales and other data sync with Shopify instantly. Statistics from different sales channels are displayed and Shopify will output detailed reports for you as well.

The Shopify POS app is free in the Play Store and Shopify isn’t charging any fees for using it.
