Comment on Shopify POSparent

Comments

The acronym always makes me snicker but having dealt with some clients talk about their POS systems, it's a very widely used acronym. In fact, it was a big US company for which I was first part of a conference call where the acronym was used. I snickered in a "they're calling it an iPad? Really?"-way. Then I got used to it. Just like iPad.

I kind of cringed when I saw the name too. But I can understand why Shopify chose it. Potential customers are going to google for "POS" along with a handful of other keywords.
