Shopify POS Receipts

POS Cafe used to provide receipt code that turned a Shopify POS Pro sales or gift receipt into an order ticket grouped by prep area. Shopify has removed the receipt code editor from Shopify POS, so this option is no longer available and the code can’t be installed or edited. This page explains what that means and which POS Cafe printing option to use instead.

What changed

Shopify POS no longer lets merchants customise printed receipts with code. The Edit code option that POS Cafe’s receipt templates relied on is gone, for every Shopify plan, so receipts now print in Shopify’s standard layout. There is nothing to configure in POS Cafe for this: the feature depended entirely on Shopify’s editor.

What to use instead

All of POS Cafe’s other printing options route each item by prep area and don’t depend on Shopify’s receipt layout:

If you want	Use
Order tickets for every order at the location, including online, kiosk and open tabs	An Epson or Star receipt printer on POS Cafe’s print server. See Epson Server Direct Print or Star CloudPRNT.
A ticket on the printer already connected to a POS device, with no extra hardware	A Shopify POS Printer. It prints the orders taken on that device.
A paperless kitchen	Fresh KDS screens.

Choosing How to Print Order Tickets compares them side by side.

Tip

If you previously used the receipt-code order ticket with the printer connected to your POS device, the closest replacement is a Shopify POS printer: add it in POS Cafe with the same printer name, choose its prep areas, and the ticket prints automatically after each checkout.
