Multi-channel commerce company Shopify is launching POS Go, a mobile point-of-sale system that lets sellers transact on the go, according to a Tuesday announcement.
With POS Go, merchants can accept tap, swipe and chip payments; monitor their sales and inventory; and track product information, customer notes and purchase history, according to the news release.
The hardware addition comes as e-commerce growth has slowed at this stage of the COVID-19 pandemic. As shoppers have flocked to stores, Shopify said it saw offline sales soar in the first half of the year. In May, brick-and-mortar sales were up 14% over 2019 figures, per Mastercard data.
