Small to large retail business owners who are serious about POS, inventory management, customers and employees.
Coffee shops, restaurants, bars and shops. Poster is versatile and simple to use, with powerful tools for inventory management, analytics, financial reporting and much more!.
We’re thrilled with WooPOS. It’s reliable, easy to use (even for new staff) and it quickly became the backbone of my daily business operations.
It can be very frightening and overwhelming to non savvy users (as opposed to simpler alternatives).
Ease of use, and ability to upload Gift Card in batch. Tracking is excellent and feature to control the card and use of card by customers.
Woocommerce sometimes experience problems if some of the plug-ins are not updated together with Woocommerce.
The greatest benefit is that we are able to create e-commerce websites for customers. People don't always want to work with Amazon and want something that they own.
If you are a novice at technology it is difficult to set up the plugin, understand what everything does -- overload of options -- and manage ( keeping up to date with products).
I use WooCommerce for all of my WordPress Ecommerce projects, it's reliable and easy to customize on the frontend, and clients are happy with it once they get used to using it.
The interface and complicated setup. The system is hard to set up as it doesn't link easily with the SQL database.
Would recommend, Overall great value for the product. Saved a lot of time using Poster instead of excels and other programs for financial and inventory aspects.
Split bill functionality missing. Customization is a hassle.
The way this POS has been built makes it viable for numerous applications. It is up there with Toast, Revel, or any other "leading" Companies, claiming to have the best.
When using on windows it might crash sometimes.
I love the POS system for the waiters as it is clear and straight forward. It's easy to see what is happening via the Poster Boss app.
The inventory is difficult to manage becaus we use a lot of providers and products.
Super easy to use, plenty of customized options, good track of sales.
The integration into our property management system was a bit tricky, but the team helped us out with their know how.
Greg G.: Hey, my name's Greg, I'm a small business owner. I give WooPOS a three out of five. And for more views like this, go ahead and click below. So before using WooPOS, our business was actually just using invoicing. So we use PayPal invoices, and occasionally, we just follow the email. So this is a great way to really start capturing money right at the point of sale. Yeah. So we chose WooPOS for a variety of reasons, but primarily, it was because it integrated with some of the other existing systems we had. We had our website that we sort of served our customers through and they actually had a nice WordPress plugin. So in that sense, we were actually doing those sales online, but that was really important to us, and we didn't want to have to build out our own infrastructure to sort of support that, so this has made it really easy to sort of transition over in that sense. Getting started with WooPOS was ... I would say it was decently easy. It was certainly easier than the alternative that we had in mind, which was building out our own solution. We were going to do that online, and that would've been hard to do on a WordPress site. But WooPOS, they made it very easy to sort of have this plugin and it served our needs pretty quickly. The customization options were left a bit to be desired, but it wasn't terrible, and it certainly had a lot of the functionality we needed right out of the box. So if you're considering WooPOS as an option for yourself, I would encourage you to look at a few things. One, why is this option interesting to you? Are they offering something unique that perhaps another POS service such as Square or Toast isn't ... I know toast is more on the restaurant side, but I think if I were to go back, I would probably use Square for my point of sale services specifically. If it's to integrate for a web storefront, I guess WooCommerce really has that, they do a lot of these online storefronts. It's a good option. It's certainly not bad. I think it makes it pretty easy on some of these other site-building platforms. But if you're starting out fresh, Shopify is probably the way to go in that sense.
