Add POS UI extension “Print Z-Reports” to your POS app for displaying and printing Z-reports

To view and print Z-reports directly in the Shopify POS app, you must first enable the POS UI extension “Print Z-Reports” in the Shopify admin.

This can be done in a few steps and is a prerequisite for viewing and printing Z-reports directly on your iPad or Android device.


Steps to enable the extension:
  1. Log in to your POS app/Shopify admin area.
  2. Go to Sales Channels > Point of Sale in the menu.
  3. Click on “Settings” at the top.
  4. Scroll down to “POS App”.
  5. Under “App Tiles”, click on “Add Tile”.
  6. Select “Print Z-Reports” and save.


The tile is now active in your POS app and visible on the home screen.


Access in the POS app (after activation):

Once the extension is active, you can retrieve and print Z reports as follows:

  1. Open the Shopify POS app.
  2. Tap the new “Print Z Reports” tile.
  3. Select the desired session.
  4. Tap “Print Options” > “Z-report Print Preview”.
  5. Print via AirPrint (iOS) or compatible Android printers.


Note: Printing via a receipt printer (e.g., Epson TM-m30) is not possible, as Shopify currently only supports sales receipts on these printers.


Who is this relevant for?

This extension is particularly important for:

  • Cashier teams who want to check or archive Z reports directly on site.
  • Stores without on-site desktop access that only work via the POS.
  • Mobile workflows, e.g., for pop-ups or trade shows.


Extension not showing up?

If the tile does not appear in the POS app:

  • Make sure you have saved the change in the admin.
  • Refresh the POS app once (close & open).
  • Check if the POS version you are using is up to date.
