“The POS Go is deprecated and will stop working as a mobile POS device on May 26, 2027.”
Shopify is retiring the POS Go as a handheld till. From 26 May 2027 it will only work as a customer-facing card reader on the counter, paired with a tablet, so staff won't be able to carry it around the shop floor. Shopify recommends the Verifone Victa Mobile or Tap to Pay on a phone instead.
