Can you run the Shopify admin on a Chromebook?
On desktop, Shopify's help has you log in at shopify.com/admin in a supported browser. For best results, Shopify recommends the latest version of Google Chrome, and it supports the latest two versions of all major browsers, unless otherwise noted. Keep Chrome current: older operating systems might not support its newest version.
The pages we read don't name ChromeOS (see below), and the Shopify app is documented for Android and iOS devices, so on a Chromebook, try the admin in Chrome. In the app, some advanced settings require a desktop — see what the mobile app can't do.
Can a Chromebook run Shopify POS?
Shopify's POS hardware page says:
Shopify POS is available for only iOS and Android devices. It's not available for laptop or desktop computers, or Amazon Fire tablets.
The POS pages we read don't mention Chromebooks. For the counter, plan an iPad, iPhone or Android device — see POS devices and OS versions.
For POS, an Android phone or tablet needs official Android version 10.0 or higher, with Google Play Services and Google Mobile Services activated, and iPhone 7+ and supported iPads need iOS or iPadOS 15.1 or higher; as of November 2026, Shopify says that in 2027 Android devices must run Android 13 or higher and iPads and iPhones must run iOS 18 or higher — so check a counter device you buy now against the 2027 minimum.
Can you print shipping and barcode labels from a Chromebook?
Shopify Shipping labels need a desktop printer or a Shopify-supported label printer, and the label pages we read don't name ChromeOS — see which label printers work with Shopify Shipping labels.
Shopify says to connect the printer to a desktop computer and install the appropriate software; the DYMO LabelWriter Wireless lists Mac and Windows computers only. Confirm its software runs on your computer before you buy.
Searched November 5, 2026, for Chromebook and ChromeOS: admin and app — Shopify's supported-browsers, admin and app pages; POS — its FAQ, troubleshooting and hardware pages; labels — its shipping-label and barcode-printer pages. None names either.
