Headline and summary, read by a synthetic voice.

What changed: Shopify began suggesting smart grid tiles in POS based on the products and discounts a merchant's staff use most, drawing only on that store's own catalogue, orders and POS activity; each suggestion explains why it's recommended, and merchants decide whether to add or dismiss it, with nothing changing until they save it.

Who is affected

Shopify POS merchants who use the POS editor in Shopify Admin or the Add tile flow in Shopify POS.

What it means for your business

For businesses using Shopify POS, this means frequently used products and discounts can be surfaced as checkout tiles faster, without manually rebuilding the grid.

What to do

Open the Add tile flow in Shopify POS or the POS editor in Shopify Admin, review the suggested tiles, add or dismiss each based on your needs, and check removal suggestions for tiles unused in the past year.

When it takes effect

Source gives no separate effective date; the feature was announced on October 12, 2026.
