Shopify POS: features, pricing and who it fits
Merchants on Shopify can sell in person through Shopify POS, which uses the same catalog as the web store. Every plan carries a baseline version, and POS Pro adds $89 per location monthly. Roles for staff, inventory management and customer profiles all require Pro.
