Shopify POS: Rich Customer Profiles

Rich Customer Profiles

All merchants can now see and interact with customer profile information in its own unique area, outside of the standard checkout view on the POS app. This view lets merchants and POS staff add/edit customer info, update preferences, and view recent orders.

Our previous UX only allowed users to add/edit staff when they were added to a cart in the app. The new Customer Tab will better represent what merchants actually do with customer information and put us in a better place for future improvements to the app.
