# Tile
The tile component displays interactive buttons for the POS smart grid. Use tiles as customizable shortcuts that allow merchants to quickly access workflows, actions, and information from the smart grid.
Tiles can change their appearance, content, and enabled state based on surrounding context such as cart contents, device conditions, or runtime state. They can display contextual information through headings, subheadings, and badge values.
Each POS UI extension can only render one tile component for each [home screen tile target](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/pos-ui-extensions/latest/targets/home-screen#home-screen-tile-).
### Support Targets (1)

* [pos.home.tile.render](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/pos-ui-extensions/2026-04/targets/home-screen#home-screen-targets)
#### Use cases
* **Quick actions:** Create action shortcuts like "Apply 10% discount" or "Add popular item."
* **Contextual info:** Display dynamic subheadings showing cart totals or item counts.

## Best practices
* **Write action-oriented headings:** Use specific language like "Apply loyalty discount" rather than generic terms like "Loyalty app."
* **Provide contextual subheadings:** Show dynamic information like cart totals, eligibility requirements, or current status.
* **Use meaningful item counts:** Display counts for actionable items like pending notifications or items requiring action, not just informational counts.
* **Launch modals for workflows:** Use `onClick` with `shopify.action.presentModal()` rather than performing complex operations directly.
***
## Limitations
The tile component supports click and long press interactions only. Swipe, drag, and other gestures aren't supported.
