- Short answer
- Yes — retail market catalogs set per-location prices in Shopify POS, but customizing them needs POS Pro or the Plus plan.
- Plan boundary
- Customizing a retail market's catalog needs POS Pro or the Plus plan.
- POS Lite locations
- Region markets only, so prices follow the region rather than the individual store.
- POS Pro billing
- Billed per location, with a lower monthly rate on a 12-month term than month to month.
- Overlapping markets
- Retail markets are more specific than country or region markets, so the retail market's customizations take priority.

- Shopify's retail markets page no longer spells out the overlap priceWhen this answer was published, Shopify's retail markets page said that a POS sale of a product priced differently in retail and country or region catalogs takes the retail market's price. The rewritten page no longer carries that sentence. Shopify's market types page still ranks retail markets as more specific than country or region markets and says the more specific type's customizations take priority, but no page we read on September 26, 2026 names the price for this overlap directly. The summary row now states that priority rule rather than a price.
Can each Shopify POS location have its own prices?
Yes, through a retail market mapped to one store or a group of stores: "Retail markets use POS locations as their condition." Shopify's POS markets overview names the use: "different pricing for different retail location types, such as flagship, outlet, or pop-up locations."
The prices sit in the market's catalog, "a set of products with optional custom pricing." A percentage adjustment can raise or lower every price in it, and for a product you price by hand, "the price that you set overrides the overall price adjustment."
What plan do per-location prices need?
Own prices need POS Pro or the Plus plan, though two Help Center pages word the line differently. Market types: "Retail markets are available for all Shopify plans. Customizing catalogs to use with retail markets requires Shopify POS Pro or the Plus plan." The POS overview: "With Shopify POS Pro, you can create and use Retail markets and map markets to specific retail locations or groups of locations." Stores on POS Lite get "Region markets only", so their prices follow the region.
POS Pro is billed per location: $89 a month, or $67 a month on a 12-month term, for each store that needs its own catalog — how that adds up across stores. Shopify Plus includes "the first 20 POS Pro locations" and waives POS Pro up to 200 retail locations only with Shopify Payments as your primary retail payment provider.
Where does per-location pricing stop?
At your own stores. B2B catalogs price "the companies that you sell to" — that is wholesale pricing, not a price per till.
A retail sale can be associated with both a retail market and a country or region market, and Shopify's market types page says "Retail markets are more specific than country or region markets." Shopify's catalogs page adds that when the same product sits in several applicable catalogs at different prices, "the more specific price is used," and if neither catalog is more specific, "the lower price is displayed."
The currency a till charges in is covered separately: what currency Shopify POS charges in across retail markets.
