What
Shopify is force sunsetting legacy "POS link" tiles. Our app is NOT going away, but merchants must migrate to Filljoy's newer app tiles which have all the same functionality. Eventually, Shopify will block access to these old tiles and remove them from all POS devices.
Deadline: Wednesday, February 5 2025
However, we strongly recommend migrating as soon as possible in order to minimize disruption to staff and store operations.

FAQ
Why do we have to migrate? Can we stay on the old tiles?
Shopify is force sunsetting legacy POS Link tiles which means eventually the old tiles will cease to function. App developers are responsible for communicating this to merchants and helping to facilitate migrations to newer tiles.
Are these new POS UI Extension tiles stable?
Yes, Filljoy launched these POS UI Extension tiles in summer 2023 and spring 2024, respectively. Many merchants have been using these tiles in production since then.
Do these newer POS UI Extension tiles offer any benefits over the legacy POS App Links?
Yes! POS UI Extensions are built on a completely different technology stack and render elements natively within Shopify POS. Some benefits include:
- Significantly faster tile loading time
- Improved product search component which also supports barcode scanning
- More user-friendly price number input
