We install and configure Shopify POS card readers, printers, scanners, cash drawers and tablets so your point of sale takes payments on day one. On-site in Brisbane, remote for the rest of Australia.
Shopify POS hardware setup is the installation, pairing and configuration of the physical equipment behind a Shopify point of sale: card readers, receipt printers, barcode scanners, cash drawers, iPad or Android tablets, stands and customer displays. It is for Australian retailers opening a new store, moving to Shopify from another POS, or adding registers and locations, who want the point of sale working properly without doing the setup themselves.
The service includes a site check, advice on what to buy, physical installation, pairing every device to the Shopify POS app, receipt and GST configuration, test transactions and a staff handover. It is one part of our Shopify POS Services. If you also need the store itself set up in Shopify, see Shopify POS Setup Services.
Every device that plugs into or pairs with Shopify POS. If you are still deciding what to buy, start with the Shopify POS Hardware Guide (Australia).
Paired to your iPad or Android tablet over Bluetooth, tested with contactless, chip and PIN.
Countertop terminal set up on your network, paired to the POS app, with the customer-facing screen configured.
Enabled on your staff phones so you can take contactless payments with no reader at all.
Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or Ethernet thermal printers connected, with receipt layout and auto-print set to suit you.
Handheld and stand scanners paired and tested against your product catalogue.
Wired to the receipt printer so the drawer opens automatically on cash sales.
Fixed or swivel stands mounted, cabled and positioned for both staff and customers.
Customer-facing screens configured to show the order, totals and tipping where you want it.
Not sure which reader, printer or stand suits your counter? That is part of the scoping conversation. We check what works with your devices and your counter before anything is ordered.
Seven steps from an empty counter to a register taking live sales.
We look at your counter, power, Wi-Fi coverage and how staff move through a sale, so the layout works before anything is bought.
We tell you exactly what to order from Shopify's official store or an authorised reseller, and what to leave on the shelf.
Stands mounted, cables run, printers and drawers positioned, tablets locked down for retail use.
Every card reader, printer, scanner and drawer is paired to the Shopify POS app and assigned to the right location and register.
Receipt templates, your ABN and business details, GST settings and refund policy text are configured in Shopify.
We run live sales, refunds, split tenders and cash sales on each register so nothing surprises you on opening day.
A short walkthrough of the hardware with whoever runs the counter, plus written notes on restarting and re-pairing devices.
The handover covers the hardware only. For a full run-through of selling, refunds, discounts and end-of-day reports, book Shopify POS Training for your team.
Same service, delivered two ways depending on where your store is.
We come to your store, install the hardware and stay until the first live sales have gone through. Brisbane CBD, inner suburbs and the wider metro area.
For stores outside Brisbane we configure everything in Shopify ahead of time, ship a checklist, then guide you through pairing and testing over a video call.
Once you are live, the same team handles printer drop-outs, reader pairing problems and drawer faults through Shopify POS Support and Troubleshooting.
Two separate costs: the hardware, and our time to install and configure it.
You buy hardware directly from Shopify's official store or an authorised Australian reseller at their prices. We do not resell or mark up equipment. Current Shopify store prices in AUD:
We quote the work after a short scoping call. The cost depends on the number of registers and locations, whether the job is on site or remote, and how much existing hardware can be reused. You see it in writing before you agree to anything.
To get a quote, Book a Shopify POS Consultation and tell us how many counters you run and where they are.
Tell us what you sell, how many counters you run and where they are. We will scope the hardware, quote the work and get you taking payments.
