Online sales channels
You can use Shopify to sell online using a variety of sales channels. Each sales channel connects to your Shopify admin, so you can easily keep track of your products, orders, and customers across all platforms.
Your eligibility for each sales channel will be based on your plan as well as other requirements.

Shopify POS is an app for iOS and Android that lets you process orders and take payments in person. With Shopify point of sale (POS), you can sell in a physical store or pop-up setting. You can manage all aspects of your store from your Shopify admin, which you can access using any browser.
