Shopify POS in Denmark: One System for In-Store and Online Sales

Shopify POS is Shopify's point-of-sale app for iPad, iPhone and Android, and it uses the same products, inventory and customer records as your Shopify online store. Shopify POS is available in Denmark, with in-person card payments through Shopify Payments, a Danish hardware store and the app in Danish.

OkayScale is a Danish Shopify agency based in Esbjerg. As a Shopify POS agency we move a store from another POS system to Shopify POS, or integrate the POS system it keeps with Shopify. For Filuca B, a women's fashion retailer with a physical store, we moved the online store from Scannet and the register from EasyPOS to Shopify and Shopify POS, so both now run on one system. The new Shopify store went live in November 2026. Prices below are Shopify's own Danish prices on 11 November 2026.

When does it make sense to run your physical store and online store on one system?

One system makes sense when you sell the same products in both places. Shopify POS draws on the same inventory as the online store, and staff can see a customer's orders from both. The app runs on iOS and Android only, not on a computer.

One exception matters: According to Shopify, cafes, restaurants, pubs, nightclubs and grocers in Denmark must by law use a POS system registered and certified with the Danish tax administration, and Shopify POS is not. If you're unsure, ask the Danish Tax Agency (Skattestyrelsen) first.

Shopify POS pricing in Denmark: POS Lite vs POS Pro

Selling in person is included in every paid Shopify plan at no extra cost. It is often still called POS Lite, though Shopify's Danish pricing page now says basic in-person selling. POS Pro is an add-on at DKK 590 per month per location on monthly billing, or DKK 440 on a yearly plan. The yearly plan is paid monthly but commits you for 12 months.

Feature	Included in your plan (POS Lite)	POS Pro
Price per location	DKK 0	DKK 590 per month (DKK 440 on a yearly plan)
Customer profiles, discount codes, refunds, gift cards and staff PINs	Yes	Yes
Exchanges	No	Yes
Staff roles and permissions	No	Yes
Tracking and adjusting inventory in the POS app, and receiving stock transfers	No	Yes
Pickup in store and ship to home	No	Yes
Daily sales reports	No	Yes

You also pay for the Shopify plan (Basic is DKK 249 a month in Denmark, or DKK 189 on yearly billing) and a card fee on each payment. With Shopify Payments, an in-person card payment costs 1.7% on Basic, 1.5% on Grow and 1.4% on Advanced. POS Pro is chosen per location, and Shopify recommends it for stores with many walk-in customers, staff at different levels or a large catalog. For development costs, see what a Shopify store costs.

Shopify POS hardware: check what you already have before buying new

According to Shopify, the starting point is a phone or tablet plus a card reader. Shopify's card readers require Shopify Payments and a paid plan. The prices are the list prices in Shopify's Danish hardware store on 11 November 2026, and Shopify doesn't say whether they include VAT.

Card reader	What it is	Price
BBPOS WisePad 3	Small Bluetooth card reader with a PIN pad	DKK 449
Shopify POS Terminal	Countertop terminal with a customer display. Needs a tablet or phone running Shopify POS	DKK 1,861
Verifone Victa Mobile	Handheld device that runs Shopify POS itself, takes payments and scans barcodes	DKK 2,229 (DKK 2,529 with dock)

Don't order receipt printers, scanners or cash drawers up front: Shopify says existing hardware works with Shopify POS in most cases. At Filuca B we checked before the switch whether the store's receipt printer, cash drawer and scanners could be used.

Payments in Shopify POS in Denmark: do MobilePay and Dankort work?

The short answer: MobilePay yes, Dankort not confirmed. Card payments run on one of Shopify's card readers with Shopify Payments, or on an external terminal from another provider. With an external terminal the payment runs outside Shopify, and staff mark the order as paid by hand.

• Cards and wallets: According to Shopify, its card readers accept Visa, Mastercard and American Express, plus Apple Pay and Google Pay.
• Tap to Pay: With Shopify Payments, a phone can be the terminal in Denmark: an iPhone XS or newer, or a phone running Android 13 or later.
• MobilePay: Denmark's mobile payment app works in Shopify POS when Shopify Payments is active. The customer scans a QR code on the POS screen. It counts as an online payment: through Shopify Payments, MobilePay costs DKK 49 a month plus 1.6% + DKK 1.00 per payment on Basic.
• Dankort: Denmark's national debit card is not on Shopify's current lists of cards accepted in person. When Shopify Payments launched in Denmark in 2019, Shopify wrote that Visa/Dankort would be supported, but the Help Center does not say how a co-badged Visa/Dankort is handled on a card reader, or what happens with a Dankort-only card. Ask Shopify Support and test with your own cards before you cancel your current terminal.

Switching to Shopify POS from another POS system: what it involves

Switching POS systems comes down to five things: products and inventory, customers, gift cards, loyalty points and staff.

• Products and inventory: Every product needs to be in Shopify with variants and barcodes, the store is set up as a location, and inventory is counted.
• Customers: Customers from the old POS system and from the online store become one list. Marketing consent has to follow each customer.
• Gift cards: Gift cards with a balance have to be carried over so they can be redeemed from day one, in store and online.
• Loyalty points: At Filuca B we moved the members and their points from EasyPOS to our loyalty app Loyalino, so points can be earned and redeemed at the register.
• Staff: Each staff member with POS access gets their own PIN, and on Basic without POS Pro only a limited number of staff can have access. Practice sales, returns and gift cards before the register goes live. A collaborator account, which agencies normally work from, can't be given POS access, so anyone testing needs a staff account.

If the online store changes platform too, as it did at Filuca B, it is one combined Shopify migration.

When is it better to keep your POS system and integrate it with Shopify?

Not everyone should switch. For Jardex, a Danish menswear retailer with physical stores and B2B customers, we moved the online store from Magento to Shopify while EasyPOS stayed as the POS system in the stores. We built an integration between Shopify and EasyPOS that transfers orders and customers and keeps inventory in sync, with EasyPOS as the master for inventory.

That route fits when the POS system works well across several stores, is tied to systems you don't want to touch, or does something Shopify POS doesn't cover. The trade-off is an integration that has to be built and maintained, which is Shopify development work.

Loyalty at the point of sale with Loyalino

Loyalino is our own loyalty app for Shopify, with points, VIP tiers and referrals. On Loyalino's paid plans, which start at $29 a month, staff can look a member up in Shopify POS, see their balance and tier, enroll a new member at the register and apply a reward to the open cart. In-store orders earn points too.

Frequently asked questions about Shopify POS

Does Shopify POS work without internet?

Partly. You can take cash offline. Offline card payments have to be switched on in advance and come with limits, and a payment can be declined once the POS is back online. Gift cards, customer search, discount codes and returns don't work offline.

How fast are Shopify Payments payouts in Denmark?

According to Shopify's Help Center, the minimum settlement time in Denmark is 3 business days, and the bank typically needs another 24 to 72 hours.
