SUMMARY:Shopify deadline: Shopify's POS Go stops working as a handheld on 
 26 May 2027
DESCRIPTION: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 sho
 p floor. Shopify recommends the Verifone Victa Mobile or Tap to Pay on a 
 phone instead.\n\nWhat to do:\n- Check whether you sell on the floor with
  POS Go: If your POS Go only sits on the counter with a tablet\, it will 
 keep working. If staff carry it around\, plan a replacement.\n- Compare V
 icta Mobile and Tap to Pay: Victa Mobile is Shopify's direct replacement\
 , with tap\, chip and swipe and a built-in scanner. Tap to Pay on a compa
 tible phone needs no new hardware but takes contactless only and has tran
 saction limits.\n- Swap well before May: Order and test replacements ahea
 d of 26 May 2027\, especially if you rely on mobile selling for peak days
  or events.\n\nFull story: https://www.ecomwire.co.uk/story/shopify-pos-g
