Considerations for using the receipt visual editor

Review the following considerations before you use the receipt visual editor:

• You can customize your receipts from your Shopify admin in the Point of Sale channel, or from the Shopify POS app. If you want to make changes to all of your locations at one time, then you need to make your changes from your Shopify admin in the Point of Sale channel.
• When you save a customization, you can choose to apply that customization to all locations, or for the selected location only.
• You can add only a custom header and footer from the visual editor for any specific locations with the Shopify POS Lite subscription.
• Printed receipt customizations that you add from the Shopify POS apply to the active POS device location. To customize your receipt template for other locations, or for all locations, customize from your Shopify admin in the Point of Sale channel.
• Customizations that you make in the visual editor are shared between the POS app and the Shopify admin visual editor for any applicable locations.
• Customizations made in the visual editor apply to all types of printed receipts, such as sales receipts and gift receipts. You can use the code editor to customize specific types of receipts.
