### "The most complete and Simple POS"

November 8, 2016

5.0

I got this software for a client who had a couple of retail stores, he need something simple and something he could monitor from remote. And of course in his money range. PHP Point of Sale did the trick, easy to install, It took a little bit of time to setup the products, but once done the client was happy and I had a done job.

Pros

Easy to install and a lot of options for different types of business

Cons

sometimes some of the menus u have to get used to because the don't explicitly say what is is for.

### "Excellent platform to build from"

November 8, 2016

5.0

I am an experienced PHP developer that specializes in database applications for customer management. I have used PHPPOS for 2 client projects (a yoga studio and magazine publisher) as a base platform to customize from. PHPPOS has made it easy to extend, adding on extra modules as needed for my clients.

Pros

Excellent out-of-the box functionality. Open source and self-hosted, so a developer can build onto it.

Cons

Support for product shipping would be excellent, it's something I ended up adding myself.

### "Awesome support!"

June 13, 2019

5.0

Pros

The software is really well thought out with lots of useful features and functionality, it has the feel of a mature project that has been developed with care and attention to detail. The support is fantastic, the developer is extremely responsive and helpful and has even added customizations and extra functionality with no extra charge.

Cons

There is very little to dislike. PHP POS didn't quite sync with our woocommerce website at first, but the developer was really helpful and worked with us to resolve that problem quickly and easily.

### "Best solution for small businesses at a very small price!"

November 8, 2016

5.0

We have installed PHP Point of Sale in several boutiques and the feedback from the clients have been great. It is a very user friendly solution with all the necessary functionalities required for small businesses. More importantly, the source code is yours - therefore, using our own PHP programmers, we have created custom reports for each of your clients and even added a ticketing module to allow our clients to print price tickets in different formats. Our experience with the PHP Point of Sale's support team has been exceptional - they have always replied to our support issues within minutes and even take the time to connect to our terminals using team viewer to help with upgrades. For the money, there is no solution out there that is as extensive and this one!

Pros

\* Open Source code \* Simplicity of the software \* Reporting and Exporting capabilities \* Centralized database

Cons

Currently, it does not plug into an e-commerce platform.

### "We loved it until we developed our own"

February 27, 2021

4.0

Great. We loved the easy to use, easy to deploy and syncing features. It syncs to your woocommerce store.

Pros

It is easy to use. It is easy to understand for people who are not used to POS systems. We were able to train new employees on how to use it very quickly. The fact that you can connect several stores online was great.

Cons

Out of nowhere the team behind it decided to make it close source and forcing you to switch to their online SAS option. That didn't work well for us since we have poor internet connection in some of our stores. Therefore we had to develop our own software. The team behind PHP point of sale have since retracted their efforts to make it close source, but it was too late for us; we moved on.

Reason for choosing PHP Point of Sale

Opensource nature. It's syncing capabilities.

Response from PHP Point Of Sale

September 18, 2025

Thank you for the review. We still no longer offer the download version for many reasons. Harder to support (manual server troubleshooting), many clients losing data due to no backups, and rampant piracy. We have had at least 10 instances of people making their own copies and starting businesses based on our own work. We found one such instance with 140+ copies. We no longer could support this as business model.

### "POP software evaluation"

November 8, 2016

5.0

The software is great and when our IT person is looking for changes your people are right on it and do great work. The biggest issue is getting bogged down with the cloud because of extremely slow DSL lines (and sometimes they just stop) and to do anything about it we need to install T1 lines. Other than that we this is best product we have used.

Pros

Amazing service to fix gliches and download our initial database. The ability to sort things by date scenarios and know where stores are at during the day is amazing.

Cons

As I said before sometimes our internet service which is a DSL doesn't work and that makes life difficult. That service is not by our choosing. We have areas of Pittsburgh that don't even have any service other than dial-up. We will have to put in T! lines at a substantial cost.

### "Best POS I've used or tried. Easy, packed with features and reliable. "

April 17, 2018

5.0

Pros

How much I can do with the program. I have a standalone version I have tailored to fit its use in an antique mall with 50 vendors. I can teach even the most computer unsavvy vendors how to make item tags. BECAUSE of the program's ease of use.

Cons

Only one upgrade with stand alone purchase. Would like the ability to remove some features that are not applicable to my business with just the ability to turn off.

### "Great value for service provided"

November 8, 2016

We apprecite having access to your service because it makes our job easier and lets us have different kind of reports to follow up on payments, clients and dates. We would definetely recommend it for a small business like ours.

Pros

The reports and that the items can be customized for access from employees and according to the firm's needs.

Cons

There are some items that don't really apply to us, but they're not an obstacle to create new type of payments or users.

### "Highly recommended!"

November 29, 2016

5.0

I needed a web based POS solution that would run on any platform and I found PHP Point of Sale by searching the web. I decided to try it because the price was within my budget and I can tell you this software has not disappointed! It is really easy to install, configure and operate. We use it to sell jewellery and it helps us track sales and inventory. I'd recommend to anyone looking for an intuitive and practical POS software.

Pros

It is easy to use

Cons

Does not interface with our accounting software.

### "Excellent product - Excellent Value!"

November 8, 2016

5.0

I was looking for a new POS system for a client that is a very small business and couldn't afford to pay huge monthly licensing fees. A couple of times a year they run two registers, but mostly just the one. Other POS systems were expensive, inflexible and didn't offer the simple-to-use functionality we were looking for. We discovered PHP Point of Sale and their setup, ease of use, price point and flexibility are really second to none. From reporting to ordering to managing inventory, this little system does it all! Best of all, when using the Cloud-hosted version, they do all your backups for you!

Pros

Simplicity. Easy to setup and use. Nice interface. Works with existing hardware.

Cons

Honestly. I haven't found one thing that doesn't work for us. If I could have created software for my client, I would have created exactly this software.

### "PHP pos best value"

November 29, 2016

5.0

I have used PHP pos since it's inception and have never been disappointed. What I like is the developer never stops developing and so many new features have been added over the years. My search for a mobile pos that could easily incorporate scanning and credit cards without huge expenses has allowed us to continue to come back every year. If you are a small business wanting to get started quickly and economically this is the system you need.

Pros

Ease of setup and use. Great value.

Cons

Nothing

### "Perfect for our small business "

November 8, 2016

5.0

Chris has been fantastic. He is always available for help and such quick response time. Php is one of the few pos programs that allows a customer account which is essential for our business. Also as we are a seasonal business they are very flexible with our season and I can't stress how important that is when it came to choosing a software. Thank you I will continue to recommend php.

Pros

Customer accounts

Cons

Some reports are limited it Chris seems to always find us a fix

### "Great platform to extend in many ways "

April 20, 2018

5.0

Pros

I like that I have access to the source to make it custom. I've extended it in many ways already and my client consistently sends new feature requests.

Cons

The reporting system in older versions leveraged some temp tables that were quite inefficient as the data size scaled. Otherwise nothing really. The platform has allowed me to extend functionality to all my needs.

### "Excellent POS software for small business that is flexible and easy to use"

November 8, 2016

5.0

I'm extremely happy with my decision to use PHP POS. I've had to use customer support a couple times, and each time I received a prompt, accurate response. The flexibility of the software and its ease of use are very good as well, allowing me to do what I want and quickly and easily check different metrics. I would like to be able to add serial number at receiving, but I believe that's coming in a future update.

Pros

Easy to use, many report categories to see/review

Cons

Would like to be able to add serial numbers at time of purchase, and be able to view sales history of a specific item instead of just category

### "PHP Fantastic product for my fashion boutique!"

November 30, 2016

I bought the product around 5 years ago, it offers everything I need for my small fashion boutique. Its easy to input information and great for the daily running of my business. I can run reports, show graphs and I can export to excel. I'm seriously thinking about going on the cloud to make sure my data is safe as I currently just back up to a usb daily. I strongly recommend this product. Michelle (Island Designs, Australia)

Low cost of ownership. Easy user training. Flexibility.

Pros

I like that it is open source and that I can self host it in order to modify and connect to my other software.

Cons

It would be nice if there was more openness on the roadmap as well as the ability to contribute to the project via Github.

### "A Breath of Fresh Air Compared to QB POS"

November 8, 2016

5.0

We spent years fighting limitations and idiosyncrasies of the expensive POS (does that mean Point of Sale or something else?) software from Intuit. When we decided to upgrade our hardware and operating system, we decided it was also time to either spend a lot of money upgrading QBPOS or find a new platform. After a thorough search, we settled on PHP Point of Sale. One of the big reasons is that you are not locked into Windows and we had access to full source to make changes if we needed that were specific to our business. We made the switch at the beginning of 2016 and haven't regretted it.

Pros

web based and can be accessed from my phone. I can check sales from any computer. clean and responsive UI.

Cons

some customization. I would like to be able to remove the ability for some employees to see how many of certain items are in stock when they make a sale. do not like the search bar for items, does narrow down results properly.
