my typo was so bad I had to re-write.

we already saved 700+ human *days* worth of time with v11 across Shopify POS checkouts. 700...days.

we're on our way to making Shopify POS the fastest in-person checkout machine in the world. good work team. we're just getting started.

We recently shipped Shopify Design. 


Here's a technical breakdown of how I built it. 🧵

Design at Shopify is having a moment. A big moment!
Incredible talent, and even stronger output.

So we gave it a home: https://t.co/qkXmfsLHzM

POS v11.0 is about what merchants actually care about:

→ The cart stays in view while staff work
→ Edit multiple items without repeating steps
→ Find or add customers instantly
→ Checkout with fewer taps

This is where @Shopify POS is headed. Not just faster checkout, but designed for how retail actually works.

@darrinhenein @owner Congrats Darrin, amazing news

[Shopify Developers @ShopifyDevs]

Polaris is now stable with one unified toolkit for apps and extensions

[Patrick Banta @pbanta]

Proud of this one – a culmination of many months iterating on design, stress testing, and rebuilding the POS design system from scratch.

We just shipped v10 of @Shopify POS. Major redesign. Faster. Smarter. And built for selling in person, your way.

Here are the headlines:
- Branded POS screens
- New home screen layout & navigation
- Redesigned cart
- Smarter, faster search

Fewer taps. Cleaner workflows. More control.

If you’re not already selling in person, there’s never been a better time to start.

For merchants selling in-store or on the go, we're adding some of your most requested features to @Shopify POS.
​
Customer segments now include distance-based filters so you can drive customers to local stores and events.
​
Customer metafields are now on Shopify POS so you can capture and leverage customer data at retail. Save details like shoe size and let staff know when to offer a birthday discount. Metafields sync instantly across POS and online sales channels, giving you more insight into a customer’s preferences.
​
Offline payments are easy. Now, if you lose your internet connection, you can still accept payments with a Shopify card reader. No more lost sales.
​
Unverified returns are now possible, so when a customer doesn’t have a receipt or order number, you can refund to a gift card. This will be especially convenient for holiday gift returns.
​
The barrier to entry for selling in person has never been lower. You don’t need a physical store or POS hardware to get started in retail. You can accept payments with just a smartphone with Tap to Pay on iPhone and Android.

@darianrosebrook @disco_lu @laurenloprete @ayyDhar Love this! Rooting for this conversation to happen.

@krispuckett @Shopify Welcome aboard!

@round Fewer buttons, fewer manufacturing complexities, cheaper production costs, more profit. Enshitification of an entire industry, even at the expense of safety.

[Patrick Banta @pbanta]

@wa2goose @Shopify Love this move

[Patrick Banta @pbanta]

@laurenloprete My POV has been fairly fluid on this over the years. Currently, my thoughts are that code is the source of truth and trying to maintain truth in a design tool is a lackluster time investment for designers. Maintenance cost is just too high when one can open the app and see it.

[Patrick Banta @pbanta]

@mostly_kcsports It’s on 38 the spot apparently. Only way to watch is over antenna?

[Figma @figma]

There's no right answer we're just curious
