Shopify adds persistent cart button to mobile POS in v11.15

Shopify released POS version 11.15, introducing a persistent cart button on mobile devices that keeps the active cart visible as staff navigate the app. The button shows recently added items, the item count, and a running total so staff can verify the cart without leaving their current screen.

Staff can tap the persistent cart button from the Home, Products, Orders, or Search screens to open the full cart view. When the cart is closed, the interface returns to the screen where the staff member left off. The button also provides confirmation when discounts, customer information, staff assignments, custom sales, or fees are added to the cart. In the updated mobile navigation, the persistent cart button replaces the existing Cart tab at the bottom and the former “Go to cart” bar.
