Background
https://github.com/shop/issues-retail/issues/16752
Note: original PR was closed due to it being based on unstable, while development has now been moved directly on the RC branches of each release.
What is the purpose of this API?
The purpose of this API is to extend register functionality to 3P apps. Specifically, the ability to open the cash drawer.
What problem is it solving?
Shopify POS lacks robust cash management capabilities required by mature retail operations. Our current approach works for small merchants but fails to meet the needs of mid-market and enterprise retailers who require stricter controls, better reporting, and more flexible device-to-register relationships. The ability to control the cash drawer is a fundamental feature that will allow for partners to develop apps to meet the needs of mid-market and enterprise retailers.
