Shopify POS Pricing 2025: The Complete Guide for Retailers

Articles POS Shopify

Quick answer: Shopify POS starts at $5/month with basic in-person features and goes up to $89/month if you want full retail tools (POS Pro). You’ll also need a Shopify plan, pay card processing fees (2.4%–5%), and buy hardware starting around $429.

If you’re running an ecommerce business and want to expand into in-person sales, Shopify POS is a natural fit. But the pricing model isn’t always clear, especially now that Shopify bundles some features by default and makes POS Pro an optional upgrade.

I’ve helped clients roll this out in retail stores, pop-ups, and hybrid setups. Here’s exactly what Shopify POS costs—and how to choose the right setup.

Shopify vs Custom Website: How Should You Build an Online Store?

Articles Shopify

We should mention: Shopify is just about the polar opposite of a custom website build. It’s not quite as “rudimentary” as a solution like Wix, but the whole idea behind Shopify is for merchants to create an online store on their own, without the need for a college degree in web design.

A custom website build, on the other hand, requires web development knowledge from you, or the person you hire. In short, Shopify is a more clean, packaged, off-the-shelf platform for launching an ecommerce site within minutes (if you’re really fast).

A custom website, although pricey and complicated and more time-consuming, provides significantly more flexibility and control over the final product that is your site.

For ecommerce web design, two paths stand before you, each promising unique experiences for building an online store.

On one side, there's Shopify, the renowned platform that offers a seamless and user-friendly experience for ecommerce web design.

On the other side, there's the allure of a custom website, crafted by a skilled developer, offering limitless possibilities and complete control over your digital kingdom.
