United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, Netherlands, Denmark, Belgium, Spain, Australia, and New Zealand Supported card readers for Shopify POS Card reader The disadvantages of an external terminal are that you need an account with your terminal provider, and that Shopify shows the payment status of an order but not any transaction details. You can find an external terminal provider anywhere in the world, and because the payment is processed outside of Shopify, you don't have to set up a specific payment provider in your Shopify admin. You can also use an unsupported external card reader. To use a supported card reader, your store needs to be in a supported country and use a compatible payment provider. These supported card readers are integrated with Shopify POS, so you can take a payment from Shopify POS, and then the details for the transaction appears in Shopify in the order's Timeline. Shopify POS has several supported card readers: Which card reader you choose depends on where you're located, which payment provider you use, and what device you're using to run Shopify POS. If you use an external card reader, then you need to check with your payment processor which card types your terminal accepts. If you are in the United States, then you can also accept Apple Pay Cash payments with a supported card reader.
In Canada, the Swipe card readers can't accept payment from debit cards that are Interac only (for example, Interac cards that aren't Debit Mastercard or Visa Debit). If you have trouble swiping a Debit Mastercard or Visa Debit card with a Swipe reader, then try entering the card number manually.
Shopify's supported card readers accept payment from all major types of credit card, as well as Debit Mastercard and Visa Debit cards.
