When tipping is enabled, Shopify POS can prompt customers to add a tip during checkout for eligible payment methods, depending on the payment setup and country support.
Merchants can configure:
Suggested tip percentages (for example, 10%, 15%, or 20%)
Custom tip amounts
Whether tipping is enabled for a location
Tips are recorded as part of the transaction and appear in Shopify’s reporting, allowing merchants to track gratuities collected through the POS system.
Tipping support may vary depending on whether Shopify Payments is available in the merchant’s country and the payment hardware or payment provider being used.

Yes. Shopify POS supports multiple locations.
Shopify allows merchants to create and manage multiple retail stores, warehouses, pop-up shops, and fulfillment locations within the same Shopify store. Each location can have its own inventory, staff, and sales activity.
With multi-location support, merchants can:
Track inventory separately at each location
Sell from different retail stores
Transfer inventory between locations
Fulfill orders from the most appropriate location
View sales and reports by location
Manage staff permissions for specific locations
Offer local pickup from selected stores
Shopify POS automatically updates inventory at the location where a sale occurs, helping keep stock levels accurate across all locations and sales channels.

Yes. Inventory can vary by location in Shopify POS and Shopify.
Shopify supports multi-location inventory, allowing each retail store, warehouse, pop-up shop, or fulfillment center to have its own inventory quantity for the same product.
For example, a product can have:
10 units at Store A
5 units at Store B
20 units in a warehouse
Shopify POS tracks inventory per location, so sales made at one location reduce stock only at that location. This enables merchants to:
Manage inventory independently for each store
Transfer stock between locations
Fulfill orders from different locations
Prevent overselling
View stock availability by location
Report on inventory and sales for each location separately
This location-based inventory system is especially useful for businesses with multiple retail stores, warehouses, or temporary event locations.

Yes. Shopify POS can ship products to customers.
If a customer is shopping in a physical store but wants an item shipped to their home, staff can create a ship-to-customer order directly from Shopify POS. The order is processed through Shopify and can be fulfilled from the appropriate location.
This is useful when:
A product is out of stock at the store location
The customer prefers home delivery
Large or bulky items are easier to ship
The merchant wants to complete the sale without requiring the customer to purchase online later
Shopify POS can collect the customer’s shipping address, calculate shipping options (based on the store’s shipping settings), and send the order into Shopify’s fulfillment workflow. Inventory is updated accordingly, and the customer can receive shipping confirmations and tracking information through Shopify’s order system.
See lessDoes Shopify POS support local pickup?

With local pickup, merchants can: Offer Buy Online, Pick Up In Store (BOPIS) to customers Receive picRead more
Yes. Shopify POS supports local pickup.
Shopify POS works with Shopify’s local pickup (buy online, pick up in store) workflow, allowing merchants to manage pickup orders from their retail locations.
With local pickup, merchants can:
Offer Buy Online, Pick Up In Store (BOPIS) to customers
Receive pickup orders in Shopify
Prepare and fulfill pickup orders from a specific location
Mark orders as ready for pickup
Notify customers when their order is ready
Complete the pickup transaction through Shopify POS when the customer arrives
Because Shopify POS and the online store share the same inventory and order data, stock levels are updated automatically when pickup orders are fulfilled, helping prevent overselling and keeping inventory synchronized across channels.

No. Shopify Payments is not available in India as of 2026. India is not included in Shopify’s list of supported countries for Shopify Payments, so Indian merchants cannot use Shopify’s native payment gateway.
Instead, merchants in India must use a third-party payment gateway integrated with Shopify, such as:
Razorpay
PayU
Cashfree
CCAvenue
Paytm Payment Gateway
Billdesk
Because Shopify Payments is unavailable in India, Indian Shopify stores generally rely on these external providers to accept UPI, credit cards, debit cards, net banking, wallets, and other local payment methods.
