Point of Sale (POS) Software

Point of sale (POS) software records sales and helps businesses run checkout; the choice often comes down to business fit and whether it works on the platforms you use.

Compare free plans and starting prices, offline mode, inventory tools, sales channels, and staff accounts. The platform marks show where a product runs; API means a public way for other software to connect to it.

How to choose

Which platforms does it need to run on?

Choose a POS that supports the devices and operating systems your staff will use. The platform marks cover web, iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, and API access.

A public API can let other software connect to the POS. Check whether the integrations you rely on are supported before choosing.

Does it fit my kind of business?

Compare business focus to find a system suited to your operation. Restaurant and retail needs can differ, so look for a match before weighing other features.

What inventory tools and sales channels do I need?

Check inventory tools and sales channels against how you track products and take orders. The right fit depends on the way your business sells and manages stock.

How should I compare plans and prices?

Check whether there is a free plan, a free trial, or a paid starting price. Pricing may be listed as a starting amount or available on request, so confirm the terms that apply to your needs.

Will it work when the internet is down?

Compare the offline-mode details if checkout needs to continue without an internet connection. Check what the product can do offline before you commit.

How many staff accounts do I need?

Compare staff-account support with the people who need to use the POS. Confirm account details and plan limits with the maker.
