Shopify POS stores cash register session status and history. If you need notifications about a session staying open longer than your operational threshold, CashRadar – POS Alerts provides register open-time alerts for Shopify POS Pro.
What can Shopify POS do natively?
Register sessions should generally be closed at defined intervals, such as the end of a shift. Shopify documentation notes that leaving them open for too long can make expected-cash and discrepancy reports less reliable.
See Shopify's official cash tracking report documentation for native reporting details and current plan requirements.
How CashRadar helps
CashRadar lets you configure a maximum open duration and can email the selected manager when scheduled checks detect a qualifying session. Because checks are scheduled, alerts should not be treated as second-by-second monitoring.
How to set this up
- Define when sessions should normally close in your operation.
- Set an open-time threshold and manager recipient in CashRadar.
- Verify the first alert against Shopify’s register session record.
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.
