Shopify POS hardware setup

Open the doors with a counter that just works

We spec, supply and set up Shopify POS hardware for retailers across Australia, so your first sale goes through as smoothly as your thousandth.

Why it matters

The last two minutes of a sale decide how it feels

There is a moment in every store where the browsing stops and the buying starts, and it happens at the counter. When the card reader connects first time, the receipt prints with your name on it and the drawer opens when it should, nobody notices. That is the point.

When it does not, everybody notices. The queue backs up, your team apologises for the till instead of talking about the product, and the store you have spent months building feels a little less finished than it is.

Retail is hard enough without wondering whether the hardware is going to hold up on a Saturday.

Who you are working with

We have been setting up point of sale for a long time

Point of sale is not a sideline for us. It is more than 25 years of work, through cash registers, through the shift to integrated systems, and now through Shopify POS.

We know which devices hold up in a busy store and which ones look good in a photo. We know how a florist sells differently from a homewares store. And we know that the goal is not a pile of hardware, it is a shop floor where your team can serve people without thinking about the technology at all.

That is the part we take off your plate.

The plan

Getting there is straightforward

  1. 1

    Tell us about your store

    How you sell, how your store is laid out, what is coming next. We listen first.

  2. 2

    We handle the hardware

    We spec what suits your store, source it, and configure it before it reaches you.

  3. 3

    You open and sell

    Set up remotely or on-site depending on what the job calls for, with your team shown how it all works before your first customer walks in.

Hardware

What we set up

We work with the hardware Shopify recommends for Australian retailers, so every piece is current, supported and known to work with the rest.

Taking payment

  • Shopify POS Terminal. Countertop terminal with a customer-facing display.
  • Victa Mobile. All-in-one handheld that sells on the floor, then docks as a till.
  • WisePad 3 card reader. Compact Bluetooth reader with a PIN pad, for a second lane or a market stall.

Holding it all together

  • Shopify POS Hub. Wired connections and power, Apple MFi certified.
  • Bosstab stands. Tablet stands that turn to the customer when they need to.
  • Cash drawers. Opening on the sales that call for it, staying put the rest of the time.

Moving stock

  • Zebra DS2278 with cradle. Wireless Bluetooth scanner that also runs wired through its cradle.
  • Zebra DS2208. Wired scanner, handheld or hands-free.
  • SocketScan S720 and dock. Light and wireless, for scanning out on the floor.

Printing

  • Epson OmniLink receipt printer. Thermal receipts over Bluetooth, Ethernet, Wi-Fi or USB.
  • Brother QL-1110NWB label printer. Wi-Fi labels up to 4in by 6in, straight from your Shopify product data.

Still working out what you actually need? That is the conversation to start with. Talk to us and we will spec it around your store.

Already have hardware?

Send us the list

If you have devices already, send us the list. We will configure hardware that sits on our supported product list, which mirrors Shopify's recommended hardware for Australia. Sticking to that list is what keeps everything stable long after setup day.
