Shopify Point of Sale (POS) Integration

The Shopify POS integration allows you to edit customer fields directly within the Shopify POS app for iOS and Android.

Note: In order to use the app on the iPad, the iPad must log in to the app at least one time. This is due to security measures on the iPad. If the iPad does not visit the app, it will not be able to display the fields in POS.

By default the app will not work through Shopify POS, you must go to the settings page and click the "Enable" button. You may be required to authorize additional app permissions for reading order history, this is required for the app to work in Shopify POS.

Once you have Shopify POS enabled you can hide specific fields from Shopify POS. Simply go to edit a field and check the "Hide field in Shopify POS" checkbox. Note that the password field is always disabled in Shopify POS.
