How to Get Shopify POS Closing Cash Discrepancy Alerts

Get notified when the difference between expected and counted cash passes your threshold.

Short answer

Shopify POS Pro already provides register session reports that show the difference between expected and counted cash. If you want an email when a closing discrepancy exceeds your tolerance, CashRadar – POS Alerts can monitor for qualifying discrepancies.

What can Shopify POS do natively?

The Shopify admin can show register sessions, cash tracking reports, and discrepancy summaries across locations. This is the right place to investigate and reconcile the amounts; do not replace these controls with alerts alone.

See Shopify's official cash tracking report documentation for native reporting details and current plan requirements.

How CashRadar helps

CashRadar adds a configurable closing discrepancy threshold and manager email notifications. It complements Shopify reporting: staff still close out sessions and managers can investigate exceptions using the original Shopify data.

How to set this up

  1. Choose a reasonable discrepancy threshold for the store.
  2. Install and activate CashRadar for Shopify POS Pro.
  3. Set notification recipients and test the process on a genuine closed register session.

Requirements and limitations

CashRadar requires Shopify POS Pro and one-time POS background extension activation. Features operate according to supported activity and background checks, so this is not a promise of instantaneous notifications. For full specifications, consult the official app listing and documentation.
