Managing your POS Apps
POS UI Extensions are a way to use apps to enhance and personalize your retail experience for Shopify POS.
For example, some extensions use the device scanner to complete stocktakes, scan loyalty or employee cards for discounts, or receive products in store.
You can use the UI Extensions settings in the POS sales channel to manage the extensions across your store locations.
There are multiple options available for developers to customize the Shopify POS app. Learn more about extending the capabilities of Shopify POS from Shopify's developer documentation.
