Overview of POS Checkout Update
Shopify has introduced changes to the POS checkout infrastructure that affect how split payments are processed. This update impacts the handling of orders with multiple payments and their visibility to third-party integrations.
Key Changes
- Orders with multiple payments will briefly appear as partially paid in the database while being created, until updated with the final payment status as paid.
- Apps or integrations querying the order during this interim state will see the partially paid status.
- A webhook will now fire for each individual payment made, instead of firing once for the entire order.
Impacts on Integrations
These changes may require workflow updates for shops using third-party integrations that rely on split payment webhooks.
Scenario Example
If your shop uses a fulfillment integration that automatically processes orders based on the first webhook firing (when an order is partially paid), you must update your workflow to ensure fulfillment only happens when the order’s financial_status is marked as paid.
Next Steps
- Evaluate whether your shop has third-party integrations that could be affected by these changes.
- Contact your integration provider to discuss necessary workflow adjustments.
- Reach out to Shopify Support for additional assistance or to clarify any questions.
