Adding the Team Shift tile to POS
Last reviewed: 2026-07-14
Clock-in and clock-out happen through a tile on the Shopify POS home screen. Unlike the rest of setup, adding that tile isn't something Team Shift can do for you from the dashboard — it's a one-time step you complete directly on each POS device.
Why this is a manual step
Shopify POS tiles are added through the POS app's own Smart Grid editor, which lives on the device itself. Team Shift has no way to reach into a POS device and place a tile there automatically — that's why the Setup Guide's "Set Up POS Tile" step has no button, just an explanation, and never marks itself complete (see Installing Team Shift and completing setup).
Adding the tile
- 1
On the Shopify POS device, open the Smart Grid editor (tap the grid or edit icon on the POS home screen — the exact entry point depends on your POS version).
- 2
Find Team Shift in the list of available tiles and add it to the grid.
- 3
Save your changes to the Smart Grid.
Once saved, the Team Shift tile appears on the POS home screen with the subheading Clock In / Out. Tapping it opens the clock-in/out modal for whichever staff member is currently logged into that POS device.
You'll need to repeat this on every POS device you want staff to clock in from — adding the tile on one device doesn't add it to the others.
