Shopify is always evolving, with new features and updates rolling out regularly to help retailers stay ahead—but keeping up shouldn't be a chore. That's why this hub tracks every POS update and relevant Shopify changes in one place.
Every two weeks, Shopify releases an updated POS version and this post is refreshed to highlight what's new. If you have multiple retail locations, it's best practice to use an MDM (Mobile Device Management) to manage app versions, and to test each new release on a few devices before rolling it out to all stores. To see previous months' updates, scroll to the bottom of this post.

Updates in POS version 11.1
Updates in POS version 11.2 (March 19, 2026 release date)
Faster discounts at checkout, easier publishing in admin
Mistyped codes, broken tiles, and too many taps to find the right promotion—discount friction at checkout is common, and it costs time and margin. Two updates address the most common causes.
In the Smart Grid editor, you can now select discount codes from a dropdown when creating a discount tile instead of typing them manually. Fewer typos, fewer mismatches, fewer failed tiles, and a setup process that works even with new or seasonal staff running the register.
In the POS app, the discount flow is streamlined so codes are easier to find and apply with fewer taps. Recently used codes are quicker to access and an improved number pad speeds up manual entry. Discount codes are a POS Pro feature.
POS editor update is automatically available in Shopify Admin > POS Channel to staff with permission to access POS Channel.
Discounts update is automatically available in POS v11.2. No action required; all staff will have access.

Accurate device attribution for saved carts
When a cart is saved on one POS device and completed on another, the sale is accurately attributed to the device where the checkout occurs. This enhancement helps keep your cash tracking accurate, payments smoothly reconciled, and order histories clear and reliable. No more confusion about which device handled the sale—just seamless and accurate tracking across your POS devices.
Automatically available in POS v11.2. No action required; all staff will have access.
Speed up pickup orders with barcode scanning
Barcode scanning is now available on the "Prepare for pickup" screen, making it faster to fulfill pickup orders. Use your device's camera or a physical scanner to quickly match and manage items ready for pickup. Visual indicators like checkmarks and quantity counts keep your team organized and reduce errors during order preparation.
Automatically available in POS v11.2. No action required; all staff will have access.

Sell from multiple legal entities from one Shopify account
Shopify Plus store owners can now sell from multiple business entities within a single country using one Shopify account, all managed from a single admin. Configure entity assignment through Shopify Markets, and sales and payments are attributed to the correct entity automatically.
- No more managing duplicate stores or complex workarounds for multiple legal entities
- Sales, payments, and compliance are clearly attributed to the correct entity—simplifying reporting and reconciliation
Set up Shopify Payments accounts for each entity in Shopify admin under Settings > Payments, then assign entities to locations via Shopify Markets. When staff process sales in POS, payments are automatically attributed to the right entity—all managed from one admin with detailed entity-level reporting.
Available in POS v11.2, but requires setup to enable. Please follow the steps in the Help Center.

POS extensions can now run without network access
Developers can now configure their POS UI extensions to keep running when a POS device loses network connectivity. This helps in environments with unreliable internet connectivity, letting store owners maintain a consistent experience without interruptions.

Updates in POS version 11.1 (March 4, 2026 release date)
Limit staff access to customer information
With the new View Customer Details permission, you can choose which staff members can see personally identifiable customer information—like names, emails, addresses, and phone numbers—while still letting them ring up sales as usual. It's a straightforward way to limit access to sensitive data for roles that don't need it, and to stay aligned with your privacy and data protection requirements.

See matching text in POS search results
The POS global search in version 11.1 now displays the exact text that matches your query—such as SKUs or barcodes—in product, order, and customer search results. Staff can quickly confirm they've found the right item without opening additional details.
When searching by SKU or barcode, the relevant matching text appears directly in the results, reducing search effort and speeding up cart building. Order searches now show product context alongside customer info for easier confirmation, resulting in fewer taps and a smoother experience for retail staff.
