See every featureShopify POS can't sell by weight. So like most market vendors, I ran two systems — Square for in-person, Shopify for everything else. Two catalogs, two logins, manual reconciliation every tax quarter. I built PopUp because I needed it. PopUp adds weight-based selling to Shopify POS. Mix weight and flat-price items in the same cart. On-device catalog, no Shopify inventory needed, works offline.
Our app enables you to quickly scan price and weight embedded barcodes for sell-by-weight products and automatically insert those line items into your Shopify POS cart, complete with the item's weight and price-per-unit - suitable for cheese and fish mongers, butcher shops, spice shops, delis, and any other businesses that use a label printing scale.
