What is a retail POS system?

A retail POS (point of sale) system is the software and hardware you use to ring up sales, take payment and record what left the shelf. A good one also tracks inventory, customers, staff and reports, so the register and the back office never disagree.

How much does a retail POS system cost?

Retailer OS is $99.99 per store a month plus $9.99 per user seat. The online store is an optional $99.99 a month add-on. There is no platform fee and no cut of your sales; card processing is billed by Stripe directly on your own account.

Do I need special hardware?

No. Retailer OS runs in a browser and as an app. Card payments in store use a Stripe Terminal reader, and you can add barcode scanners, receipt printers and a cash drawer. Your existing hardware may work; check the hardware checklist before buying anything.

Does it work if the internet goes down?

Yes, in the desktop app. Offline selling works there and syncs when the connection returns. It is not available in the iPad or web apps, so plan on the desktop app at any register that must keep selling without internet.

Can one POS run several stores and an online store?

Yes. Each location is a store with its own stock, and the online store sells from the same inventory, so a sale in one channel updates the count in the others.

Can I move from Square, Shopify POS, Lightspeed or Clover?

Yes. You can import your catalog, customers and history. See the migration guides below, and try it free for 14 days with no card.

A retail POS system rings up sales and takes payment. A good one also keeps stock right across every location, controls what staff can do, and feeds your online store and books, so you stop reconciling three tools by hand.

How to choose

What a retail POS system should cover

Selling: Fast checkout, split tender (cash, card, gift card, store credit), returns, price overrides with permission, quotes and house accounts.
Inventory: Variants, barcodes, receiving against purchase orders, transfers between stores with in-transit tracking, and reorder points that work per location.
People: Roles with limits on voids, refunds and discounts, a time clock and an audit trail that shows who did what.
Customers: Profiles, purchase history, loyalty, gift cards and email or text marketing with consent.
Online: An online store on the same stock, pickup and delivery, and marketplace channels without double entry.
Money: Clear processing fees, daily drawer reconciliation, and accounting sync so month-end is not a rebuild.
Reliability: Offline selling in the desktop app, backups, and support when something breaks on a Saturday.
