Changing your smart grid

The home screen on the Shopify POS app has a smart grid that is a set of configurable tiles that display different resources. You can add tiles representing frequently accessed products, collections, third-party apps, or features. If a third-party app has multiple functions, then you can choose which function the tile performs.

You can add additional pages and group tiles into these pages and reorder tile positions on each page.

To add tiles, you need to be the store owner or have a staff account with the Customize smart grid for device's location permission.
