Shopify POS 10.0 Is Here: Here’s What’s New and Why It Matters

Shopify has just rolled out Point-Of-Sale (POS) version 10.0 - a major leap forward in making in-person retail smoother, faster, and more on-brand than ever. At Makro Agency, we partner with growing and enterprise merchants who rely on POS as a key part of their omnichannel operations. This update offers tangible improvements for store staff, shoppers, and anyone customizing the POS system with extensions.

In this blog, we’ll explore what’s new in POS v10.0 and what it means for your retail business.

1. New Navigation for Faster Access

Gone is the top-menu navigation—version 10.0 places key actions like the Register, Lock Screen, and Connectivity in a left-hand sidebar. This small visual change delivers big workflow gains by making the interface more accessible, especially during busy in-store moments.

Why it matters:
Your staff can spend less time tapping around and more time serving customers.

2. Smarter, Contextual Search

Version 10 introduces a much smarter inline search experience. Search results are now tailored to the active tab—Product, Order, or Customer—making results more relevant and precise.

Why it matters:
Sales associates will spend less time digging and more time doing. It's a huge time-saver for high-volume stores.

3. Visual Design Overhaul

The look and feel of the POS app has been refreshed with a sleek, modern design. Expect a more intuitive cart experience, clearer checkout buttons, and dynamic cart labels that tell you whether you're building a new order, handling a return, or finishing a draft.

Why it matters:
A cleaner interface helps reduce errors at checkout and increases speed—especially critical for peak traffic times.

4. POS Extensions Compatibility

Good news: If you’re already using custom POS UI Extensions, you don’t have to lift a finger. Shopify POS v10.0 applies all visual updates automatically. Navigation and search updates apply only to the native app.

Why it matters:
Makro clients with custom POS solutions can enjoy the new look and performance without worrying about technical compatibility or manual updates.

5. What You Can Do Next

• Try it out: The update is live on the App Store now.
• Plan for rollout: Ensure staff are trained on the new layout.
• Customize your experience: Want help updating your brand theming or building smarter workflows? That’s where we come in.

Shopify POS v10.0 brings the kind of updates that streamline retail operations without disrupting them. And for Shopify Plus merchants, every second saved at the POS adds up to better performance and better service.
