Loyverse POS

Loyverse POS turns a smartphone or tablet into a point of sale. It is aimed at small businesses such as restaurants, cafés, bars, grocery and convenience stores, and clothing retailers.

Staff can ring up sales, apply discounts, issue refunds and give printed or electronic receipts. The app keeps recording sales when the internet is down and syncs them to the Back Office once the connection returns. Card payments through an integrated provider still need an internet connection.

The Back Office, which runs in a web browser, shows sales reports and lets owners manage items, stock, employees, stores and settings. It also covers inventory tracking with low stock alerts, employee clock-in and clock-out, a customer loyalty programme and multi-store management under one account.

The core product is free. The page says optional paid add-ons exist, but does not list them here; check the pricing page for details.

• Runs on iOS and Android phones and tablets
• Works with receipt printers, barcode scanners and cash drawers
• Integrated card payment providers in 30+ countries
• Optional Dashboard, Customer Display and Kitchen Display apps
