Last verified 2026-11-01. STALE marks a plan we have not re-checked at its source in over 30 days. 2 of 5 plans above are marked. shopify.com/pos/pricing geolocated to EUR. USD pricing sourced from NerdWallet Shopify POS review dated February 4, 2026, corroborated by NerdWallet Shopify general review (February 4, 2026). All USD figures are consistent between both NerdWallet sources. The corroborating page this record cited (https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/small-business/shopify-review) is gone: on 2026-09-11 it answered 200 and redirected to https://www.nerdwallet.com/business, both from a residential connection and from a datacenter on another continent — so the page is gone rather than withheld from one asker. This record therefore no longer claims an independent second witness for its figures. The page the figures were read from, shopify.com, still answers. Cross-checked against nerdwallet.com.

A new dated entry is stamped here each time the price moves — the record builds itself.
From 2026-10-16 our record reflects a correction we published, not a vendor price move, so earlier figures are not compared with it.
Tracked since June 2026. No change record has cleared two sources yet, so nothing is published on the wire.
Corrections to this record
Changes we made to our own record of Shopify POS, newest first: a figure read again on the vendor's page, a plan it no longer lists, a note. None of them is a price change by Shopify POS. Every correction on the site is in the corrections log.

Basic (with POS Lite). Correction 2026-09-11: The monthly price moved from $29 to $39. The plan's own note says the recorded figure is the yearly-billed rate and names $39 as the price billed monthly, in the same sentence. The monthly price holds the month-to-month price — the schema says so and the annual discount carries the saving separately — so the comparison tables were understating the entry price of this plan by the whole discount. Both figures are read from the note as it stood; nothing was derived. This is the same correction 190 rows took on 2026-09-09 and a hundred more on 2026-09-10, missed here only because the note says "billed yearly" or "when billed annually" where the check wanted the word "annually" alone.

Dead citation disclosed, price unchanged. https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/small-business/shopify-review was read twice on 2026-09-11: it answered 200 and redirected to https://www.nerdwallet.com/business from a residential connection and answered 200 and redirected to https://www.nerdwallet.com/business from a datacenter on another continent. One reading is not evidence — 27 pages this sweep called gone answered the second machine perfectly well — so only the ones both vantages agree on are written down. The record now says the link is a dead end. No figure changed: a price read on a day was read on that day, and the page going away later does not unread it.

This standing as a plaque
Shopify POS currently holds a gold deskmark here — Rank 2 of 8 · POS Systems. Anyone may show it. There is nothing to apply for, nothing to pay, and displaying it changes no score: the standing comes from the published algorithm, which never reads commission data. We never ask anyone to show it, and its link carries rel="nofollow".
The image is drawn from our live data, so it follows the standing rather than freezing it: if Shopify POS moves up or down a tier, the plaque on your own site says so at our next publish. Nothing is tracked beyond the ordinary web-server log that records any image request.
