Searching for products

You can search for products in the Shopify POS app by using the global search bar or by tapping Products in the navigation bar. From the search results, you can browse your products, view product details, and add a product to cart.

You can search your products by the following attributes:

• Barcode
• Variant name
• Product title
• SKU
• Tags
• Vendor
• Description

Your search term doesn't need to exactly match the product attributes that you're searching for. You can search using partial words or words out of order. The products that best match the attributes in your search display in the search results.

Products must have their publishing settings set to available for the Point of Sale sales channel for those products to display in Shopify POS. You can set the availability for your products from your Shopify admin.

Note

When you first start using the Shopify POS app, or when you change your store location, your Shopify POS app syncs with your admin and your products import into the app. Importing products is automatic and usually takes a few minutes. You can still search for and scan products during the import, but you might experience a delay in search results.
