Yes. Online-only products can be sold through Shopify POS if they are made available to the Shopify POS sales channel.
A product that is currently sold only through the online store can be sold in person by enabling its availability for Shopify POS. Once published to the POS channel, staff can find it in the POS app and sell it at a physical retail location.
So the key factor is sales channel availability: products can be available to the Online Store, Shopify POS, both, or other channels independently.

Yes. Shopify POS can hide products from online stores by controlling sales channel availability.
In Shopify, each product can be made available to specific sales channels, such as Online Store, Shopify POS, Shop, or other connected channels. If a product is available to Shopify POS but not to the Online Store channel, it can be sold in person while remaining hidden from customers browsing the website.
This is commonly used for:
In-store-only products
Clearance or outlet items
Services sold only at a physical location
Test or seasonal products
Merchants can manage this from the product’s Sales channels and apps settings in Shopify, where they choose which channels the product is published to.

Shopify provides a large catalog of apps that work directly with Shopify POS, and developers can also build custom POS extensions using Shopify’s POS app framework and APIs.
One important limitation is that Shopify generally supports apps that extend Shopify POS, not apps that turn Shopify into a connector for another external POS system.
