# Targets

Targets define where your POS UI extensions appear within [Shopify's Point of Sale interface](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/pos) and what capabilities they receive.

Targets serve specific purposes: some render persistent UI elements within existing screens, others provide interactive menu items or buttons, and some launch full-screen modal experiences for complex workflows.

Use this reference to explore all available targets and understand where they appear in the POS interface.
