How Do I Connect Hardware to Shopify?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 2:16 pm

It’s pretty easy to connect hardware to Shopify. If you have a physical product, you can use Shopify’s POS (point of sale) system to sell in-store, which requires an iPad and the Shopify POS app. To connect POS hardware like barcode scanners and receipt printers, you’ll need a Shopify POS Hardware Kit.

PRO TIP: If you are planning to connect hardware to your Shopify account, be aware that there are some risks involved. First, make sure that you trust the source of the hardware. If you are unsure, ask a professional for help. Second, be aware that connecting hardware to your Shopify account may void your warranty or cause damage to your account.

If you’re selling digital products, you can use Shopify’s Buy Button to sell on your website, blog, or social media. The Buy Button requires no technical setup and can be added to any website.

To connect payment hardware like credit card readers and cash drawers, you’ll need a Shopify Payments account. To connect to Shopify Payments, you’ll need a compatible payment gateway like Authorize.net, Braintree, or Stripe.
