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.

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.

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.
