Shopify POS help
Shopify isn’t only for ecommerce — you can also offer your clients a full retail experience with Shopify POS. Shopify POS is a user-friendly iPad app that lets merchants make sales in store. You can run it on its own, or sync it with an online Shopify store to track all your client's online, mobile, and in-store orders in one place.
We’ve assembled this collection of videos and articles to help you get your clients running Shopify POS in their stores.
Hardware
Shopify POS integrates with a cash drawer, iPad stand, barcode scanner, receipt printer, and credit card reader.
If you want to resell the POS hardware for profit, you can use the hardware reference numbers to acquire the hardware from a distributor like BlueStar that can dropship the product for you.
If you don't want to resell the POS hardware, it can be purchased at the Shopify Hardware Store as a complete kit or piece by piece.

Shopify POS app setup
The Shopify POS app handles all customer-facing activities and in-store settings. You can provide the merchant with a link to the Shopify POS documentation so they can learn about using the app.
Refer a merchant
If you have a client who is interested in Shopify POS, there are a few ways that you can get credit for your referral and receive your share of revenue from that merchant:
- Provide your client with your referral URL (sometimes called a partner token) when they sign up for a Shopify account. You can find your referral link on the Referrals page of your Shopify Partners dashboard.
- Complete the merchant referral form. A POS Specialist will contact the merchant within 24 hours to answer any questions your client might have, and you will be associated with their account as the referring partner.
