my typo was so bad I had to re-write. we already saved 700+ human *days* worth of time with v11 across Shopify POS checkouts. 700...days. we're on our way to making Shopify POS the fastest in-person checkout machine in the world. good work team. we're just getting started.

POS v11.0 is about what merchants actually care about: → The cart stays in view while staff work → Edit multiple items without repeating steps → Find or add customers instantly → Checkout with fewer taps This is where @Shopify POS is headed. Not just faster checkout, but designed for how retail actually works.
POS v11.0 is here smoother workflows better customer search bulk cart actions simplified split payments it’s your fastest checkout flow yet

For merchants selling in-store or on the go, we're adding some of your most requested features to @Shopify POS. ​ Customer segments now include distance-based filters so you can drive customers to local stores and events. ​ Customer metafields are now on Shopify POS so you can capture and leverage customer data at retail. Save details like shoe size and let staff know when to offer a birthday discount. Metafields sync instantly across POS and online sales channels, giving you more insight into a customer’s preferences. ​ Offline payments are easy. Now, if you lose your internet connection, you can still accept payments with a Shopify card reader. No more lost sales. ​ Unverified returns are now possible, so when a customer doesn’t have a receipt or order number, you can refund to a gift card. This will be especially convenient for holiday gift returns. ​ The barrier to entry for selling in person has never been lower. You don’t need a physical store or POS hardware to get started in retail. You can accept payments with just a smartphone with Tap to Pay on iPhone and Android. ​ Check out more retail improvements… shopify.com/editions/winter2…

It's a real shame that Reddit seems to care this little about the community that rather than making an effort to talk to developers and moderators and apologize for how this was handled, they'd rather just wall themselves off and and dare users to keep going.

Just got off a call with Reddit about the API and new pricing. Bad news unless I come up with 20 million dollars (not joking). Appreciate boosts. reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comme…
