I run a network of Shopify stores in the automotive space. For most of them it's been straight merch sales done with in-house shipping & fulfillment with varying degrees of success.
Recently I started working with a group of guys to put on Drag Races at tracks, and Shopify POS has been a lifesaver, today was our first event, and I wasn't even there, I watched the whole thing from my computer at home and any problems the guys at the track had I was able to fix and push out in minutes!
We have a merch trailer, and 3 gate processors all tied to a single Shopify POS Pro subscription to run sales at the events. We carry a starlink with us to have reliable internet throughout the event.
We use the 3 gate processors with iPads and card readers to sell tickets at the gate, and the merch trailer has a cash drawer and single iPad POS setup.
I could not for the life of me figure out how to implement a different smart grid per device. So I ended up creating two pages and just instructing gate to use the first page, and merch trailer to use the second.
This is our first event and we had well over $30K in ticket sales today. But I really would love to figure out how to restrict the specialized smart grid I had setup for the gate to be used on only the gate devices, and the grid I setup for the merch trailer to be used by the Merch Trailer exclusively.
