2 min setup

No coding required

Runs automatically

Keep your Shopify orders organized by automatically tagging POS orders with a “POS” label. This MESA workflow template tags each order placed via Shopify POS, allowing for easy identification and streamlined processing. Simplify order management, enhance reporting, and ensure POS transactions are easily distinguishable from online orders.

How it works

2 steps to tag POS orders with custom labels for easy identification

POS Order Created

App connector: [Shopify Retail POS](/content/apps/shopify-pos/integrate "View Shopify Retail POS integration page"/index.html)• Time to complete: 0 minutes (Auto-configured)

Why this matters: This trigger monitors your Shopify POS system and starts the workflow whenever a customer completes a purchase at any of your physical store locations.

The trigger automatically detects new POS orders across all your store locations and captures the complete order data including customer details, items purchased, payment method, and location information. No configuration is required - it starts monitoring as soon as you activate the workflow. When a POS order is created, it immediately passes all the order details to the next step for processing.

Order Add Tag

App connector: [Shopify](/content/apps/shopify/integrate "View Shopify integration page"/index.html)• Time to complete: 1 minute

Why this matters: This step applies a custom tag to the POS order in your Shopify admin, making it easy to filter, search, and identify orders that came from your physical stores versus online sales.

You'll configure what tag gets added to every POS order by entering your preferred label in the "What tag will be added to POS orders?" field. The default tag is "POS" but you can customize this to anything that works for your business, such as "In-Store", "Retail", or your specific store location name. The step automatically retrieves the order ID from the trigger and applies your chosen tag to that order in Shopify. Once tagged, you can easily filter your orders in Shopify admin to see all POS transactions or create reports based on sales channel.

Frequently asked questions

Can I apply multiple tags to POS orders with this workflow?

This workflow adds one tag per POS order, but you can duplicate the "Order Add Tag" step to apply multiple tags simultaneously, such as both "POS" and your store location name.

Will this workflow tag orders that were started online but completed in-store?

No, this workflow only triggers on orders created entirely through your POS system. Orders that begin online and are picked up in-store won't be tagged since they're classified as online orders in Shopify.

What happens if I change the tag name after the workflow is already running?

New POS orders will receive the updated tag name, but previously tagged orders will keep their original tags. You'll need to manually update existing order tags in Shopify admin if you want consistency across all historical orders.
