Overview
The Booxi integration for Shopify POS eliminates the need for your staff to switch between different apps or devices. By bringing your appointment management directly into the Shopify interface, you create a faster, more focused environment for both your team and your customers.
A Single Interface: Your staff can view schedules, manage bookings, and check in clients without leaving the Shopify POS app. This removes the "software shuffle" and keeps the focus on the person in front of you.
Fluid Transitions: Having appointment details accessible within the POS makes it easier for your team to move from a service to a retail sale. It ensures that the transition to the cart is quick and professional.
Reduced Friction: By consolidating your tools into one screen, you minimize technical distractions, reduce the risk of manual entry errors, and speed up the overall customer journey from arrival to checkout.
Setup
To access the Booxi Shopify POS app, you must have already installed the base integration, accessible from the Shopify app store. For setup instructions, see here.
*Note: To obtain access to the POS app, you must enter a Partner API key (see Settings).
Once the base integration is installed, follow these steps:
Open the "Point of Sale" tab in Shopify (Sales Channels section).
Under "Customize your POS experience, click "Open Editor".
In the left menu, select Add tile > Embedded apps > Booxi.
Then, select Embedded apps > Booxi
Save
Then, to access the Shopify POS app on mobile/tablet, you must download it from the Google Play Store or the App Store.
On the home screen, select the Booxi app tile.
When you first open the app, you will be prompted to complete the setup process:
Enter your Partner API key if you haven't already. If you don't have one, contact your Booxi representative.
Enter your Merchant API key. This determines which store's appointments will be displayed in your app. To find your key, go to the "My Business" tab > Business details.
