  • It’s ok...

    Need to be able to do EXCHANGES not just returns. Creates more confusion, redundancy and time as you have to do multiple transactions for simple exchanges.

    “Open the cash drawer” should NEVER be a titled feature, bad practice from a loss prevention standpoint. Stick with “No Sale”.
  • Not so happy anymore!

    I rarely write reviews, but I felt I was compelled to write about this app.
    When I first started using this app it was good with little problems, nothing I can handle, but when I purchase my second account and tried to transfer my almost 6000 items, it turned into a nightmare, the system by all means is NOT SMART. It’s been two days now trying to transfer my items from one account to another, with the help of ShopKeep support, still no progress. Too many restrictions in UPC for instant, gotta be 8,12 or 13 digits and cannot start with certain digits such as #5.
    There are so many apps to make it easier your your international customers to contact you for free, such as WhatsApp or Viber, why don’t you have one? Why do I need to pay almost a dollar per minute to get help from you?
    Very frustrated and really considering to change unless some miracle happens.

  • The latest updates are terrible

    The latest updates to the UI make things cumbersome and slow things way down. Wordy. Poor placement of buttons. Just bad.
  • Not suited for restaurants, very glitchy

    Tickets magically stop printing when you need them most; there’s no good way to program a half and half pizza; there’s no way to print multiple checks at one table without a plethora of button taps; there’s no way to reassign a table on the seating chart once the ticket has been opened; and there’s no itemized server report at the end of the shifts where servers can go through their checks for mistakes. There’s more, but you get the idea. Wouldn’t recommend for any restaurant needing more than just a rudimentary system.

  • I wish it worked properly

    If it worked without all the problems it would be good. We have over 4200 items. Pretty busy store. Current problem is app has to be restarted every other day. Always when there is a line at the register. Employees have to call me and if I’m by a computer then I can deactivate and reactivate, otherwise they have to call the 1-800 number and sit on hold. New updates from apple cause problems. We can’t update computer until they fix current problem. Been with tech a few times about app problem and the last one said they don’t know what it is and they hope it fixes itself soon. I’ve replaced all hardware and done everything I can. Had to put a post it note on our Clover saying unable to use Apple Pay at this time. I really wish Apple or someone with the tech capabilities would buy Shopkeep and fix all the problems. I’ve had to close the store early a few times due to ShopKeep problems. Lost revenue. I am having to spend over a grand more to add a second register so hopefully when one freaks out, we have another. I have too much money and time invested in shopkeep to give up now. But I am starting to look around for better systems. Very very frustrated. The response, I’m sure, will be the same generic response everyone else has been getting.

  • Not very powerful

    When bulk exporting (which you have to do to edit more than one item at a time) all barcodes starting with a “0” deletes the “0.” This means that when you reupload the bulk inventory to the system almost all the barcodes are corrupted and won’t scan items. Horrible software and support
  • Not all it was presented to be!

    Definitely not for the bar or restaurant industry. On top of that very poor service. Only had it in place for two weeks and there are so many holes in the system for this industry I really think they should not market or promise so much when it is clear the developers have not been in the full restaurant / bar business.

  • Payment Corruption

    Keeps crashing and saying the payment was “corrupted” if you do a split payment that includes a credit card. Tried following the instructions to “uncorrupt” it. Never wound up doing anything and i had to restart the iPad. Turned out the customer had been charged but it didn’t show up in our back office but I’m sure itll show up on our bank statement.

  • Never felt more like a loser

    Knew what I needed.. was ready to buy... never felt a more snobbish attitude in my 50 years on this planet... as if my interest in this product was a nuisance in their $9.00 coffee breaks and account issue that prevented me from logging in was my issue, not theirs and after 48 hours of no response and being snubbed automagically on their site. It was a courtesy ofthem to go out of their way to reply and tell me they won’t help. You will be paying for the privilege to talk to these for the rest of your life... choose elsewhere..there is better....have found it

  • All is great... 😁Except... 🤨DYMO 🤮

    After being on here a year and a half, we’ve enjoyed growing our business along side ShopKeep. Our only issues that continues to upset us is that we have to print our labels w/ a DYMO label printer. DYMO doesn’t seem to care about making their systems user friendly. And when you have to contact customer support... you can be on hold for an hour.
    😮BOO DYMO
    🥳YAY SHOPKEEP
