Shopify POS iOS and Android device compatibility requirements
Shopify POS is available for only iOS and Android devices. It's not available for laptop or desktop computers, or Amazon Fire tablets.
Shopify POS works with devices that meet the following requirements:
| Device | Description |
|---|---|
| iPad | Generation 5 or higher running iPadOS 15.1 or higher |
| iPad Air | Generation 2 or higher running iPadOS 15.1 or higher |
| iPad mini | Generation 4 or higher running iPadOS 15.1 or higher |
| iPad Pro | All iPad Pro models running iPadOS 15.1 or higher |
| iPhone | iPhone 7 or higher running iOS 15.1 or higher |
| POS Go | POS Go running the latest Shopify-provided software updates |
| Android | Phone or tablet running official Android version 10.0 or higher, with Google Play Services and Google Mobile Services activated |
Shopify POS no longer supports iOS 14 or lower. With older versions of iOS, you can continue to use the app but you can no longer update it. To take advantage of bug fixes and new features, you need to update your device to iOS 15.1 or higher. If that isn't possible, then switch to using Shopify POS on another device that is running iOS 15.1 or higher.
iOS permission requirements
If you update your device to iOS 15.1 or higher and use third-party Shopify apps, then you might need to activate Cross-Website tracking in your iOS settings. Cross-Website tracking lets third-party Shopify apps that you install in your Shopify admin stay connected in Shopify Inbox, Shopify Point of Sale, and the Shopify app.
To activate Cross-Website tracking, complete the following steps:
- On your iOS device, open the Settings app.
- Tap Shopify, Shopify POS, or Shopify Inbox.
- Activate Allow Cross-Website Tracking.
