Do I need a special scanner?
No. The POS tile runs on the Shopify POS device or phone your store already uses. Scan with the camera or a connected reader.

Receiving in Shopify POS
Receive on the floor,from the POS.
Open the order on a phone or POS device, scan boxes against the PO right where the truck unloads, and publish the new products without leaving the floor. The count happens once, where it actually happens.
At the counter
The tile is where the boxes are.
Receiving usually means a clipboard at the dock and a second round of data entry at a desk later. The two counts drift, and the floor team has no way to publish what just arrived.
- 01
Open the shipment from the till
The same orders as the desk, on the Shopify POS you already use on the floor.
- 02
Count as you unpack
Work the box in front of you instead of carrying a clipboard back to a computer.
- 03
Same order, same balance
What you count on the floor is the same PO the office sees, still open for the rest.
Where the work actually happens
Not every shop has a back office.
Plenty of stores open boxes between customers, at the counter, with the POS already in hand. Receiving should meet that, not ask someone to walk away from the floor.
- Native Shopify POS tile, no extra hardware
- Scan arrivals against the open PO
- Publish new products from the floor
- Same end state as receiving at a desk
On the floor
The practical questions.
Is this different from receiving in the app?
Same workflow, two doors. Check in at a desk in Invoe, or push to Shopify and let the floor team scan. Both land on the same reconciled inventory.
