Selling in person with Shopify has never been easier.
Beautiful, simple, and secure, Shopify’s first in-house designed hardware—our newChip & Swipe Reader—is now shipping in the U.S.
In April, we unveiled our latest addition to the Shopify POS hardware family, and started shipping pre-orders in July. Now, we’re excited to announce that the Chip & Swipe Reader is available toallU.S. Shopify merchants.
Building for the Future of Retail
It’s a widely-held myth thatretail is dead. While department stores and big-box chains are shuttering locations everywhere, in-person selling is thriving thanks to specialty boutiques,experiential retail, and multichannel strategies. Smart retailers have recognized that the old way of selling no longer works, and have evolved to respond to customer shopping habits.
We designed the Chip & Swipe Reader with the future of retail in mind. Its versatility and affordability meets the needs of merchants selling in person, whether it’s in store, or at apop-up, festival, or market.

Affordable, Versatile Hardware
