Location management
A location is a physical place or an app where you do any or all the following activities: sell products, ship or fulfill orders, or stock inventory. A location might be a retail store, warehouse, popup, or dropshipper. With multiple locations, you have better visibility into your inventory across your business.
Most location management is handled from your Shopify admin. From there, you can add, delete, edit, and activate or deactivate your locations as needed. You can also manage your POS subscriptions from your Shopify admin.
Select Shopify POS device location
You can manage your device locations directly in the Shopify POS app. You can also restrict access to the locations settings on the iPad by activating limited staff permissions.
Whenever you install the Shopify POS app on a device, make sure that you select your location so that the correct tax rates are applied.
Steps:
- From the Shopify POS app, tap ☰ > Settings.
- Scroll down to the Location section, and then tap the name of the current POS location.
- Tap the name of the location you want to switch, and then tap Switch or tap Cancel to go back.
Manage the POS subscription plan for each location
If you're the account owner, then you can select your POS subscriptions by location to ensure that your stores have the subscription that best suits their needs. You can also choose between a monthly or yearly billing cycle.
The POS Lite subscription plan includes Shopify POS's basic features and can be used with every Shopify plan at no extra cost. For an additional monthly cost per location, the Shopify POS Pro subscription plan has extra retail features for sales transactions, inventory management, sales reports, and staff management.
If you have subscribed to POS Pro and you want to uninstall the POS sales channel, then you need to change all of your POS Pro locations to POS Lite before you uninstall the channel.
