Required staff permissions for Shopify POS

Note

If your store or organization hasn't been migrated to the role-based access control model, then you need to assign permissions directly to users. Learn how to assign permissions with legacy Users and permissions settings.

To access Shopify POS using a Shopify account or login credentials, users need the following permissions:

Staff permissions required for POS

Permission category	Permission
Point of Sale access	Access Point of Sale Sub-permission: Set up new or updated POS devices

Users with limited admin permissions and POS app only staff can't access Shopify POS unless the store owner, organization owner, or a user with a user role that has the Set up new or updated POS devices permission logs in to the Shopify POS first.

In cases where your POS app also uses other apps, the initial login user must also have a user role with permissions for those apps for the initial login. In the App permissions section, select any individual apps that are for the Shopify POS.

Store owners and users who have all the available permissions can log in to the Shopify POS app and view Shopify POS staff PINs.

For information about creating roles and assigning them to your Shopify POS staff, refer to Point of Sale staff management.

For information about adding Shopify POS app only staff, refer to Adding Point of Sale staff.

For more information about staff permissions you can customize, refer to Description of store permissions.
