Mobile-friendly POS workflows

Mobile POS setups are popular for pop-ups, counters, and owners who want to check reporting on the go. Shemify runs as a web app, so you can use it on iOS or Android in your browser.

  • Run checkout from a phone or tablet
  • Update products and pricing quickly
  • Scan barcodes with your device camera (no separate scanner required)
  • Review daily totals and best sellers anywhere

Best practices for mobile counters

  • Keep your menu/catalog tight for speed
  • Use clear product names for clean receipts
  • If you print receipts, use a printer that your device already supports (driver/AirPrint/OS printing)
  • For cash handling, Shemify supports manual cash drawers (more integrations are planned)

When browser-based mobile POS is the right fit

A mobile POS setup is often the simplest answer for pop-ups, small counters, owner-led checkout, or teams that want flexibility across devices. Because Shemify runs in the browser, you can use the same system on phone, tablet, or laptop without waiting for native app installation.

  • Use phones or tablets for lighter counters and mobile selling
  • Switch to a laptop when a larger screen helps
  • Keep the same receipts, reporting, and account structure across devices
  • Use browser access on iOS and Android while native apps are still in development

How to set up a phone or tablet counter

The best mobile POS rollouts usually start with the real counter workflow: where the device sits, whether receipts are printed, how products are searched, and who has access to settings.

  • Test checkout and receipt flow on the exact device you plan to use
  • Confirm whether camera-based barcode scanning matters for your catalog
  • Use permissions so shared devices stay controlled
  • Review reports from the same mobile device or from a separate owner device
