Best POS for small businesses
One major benefit is how easy my ordering is with their PO system.
Pros
I moved from Lightspeed to Clover and it's night and day. I had to piecemeal the Clover system on the back end to be useful and Lightspeed hands you so much. I've since added more and more of the Lightspeed system like loyalty because their tools are amazing. One of the best parts is their customer service. You get quick answers and they go above and beyond. Whether it's something as simple as why isn't my shipping working on ecom or how can I verify my website with the different social media platforms, their FAQs and customer service team never disappoint. If you are thinking about switching, do it. You won't regret it. It's made me more efficient all around. Thanks Lightspeed!
Cons
Lots of different options so it takes a bit to determine what you need to use.
Reasons for Choosing Lightspeed Retail
Clover wouldn't allow me to do a website. Lightspeed integrates inventory on the brick and mortar and ecommerce sides.Reasons for Switching to Lightspeed Retail
Best integration of inventory, ease of use, I liked all the different standard things the system had like inventory POs, employees, special orders, and more.

Most complete and easy POS
Very easy to use
Pros
It is easy to use as you can search for the individual items and put items in categories. It also enable us to put in modifier on each item with additional price too
Cons
Very expensive compared to other POS. Only if the report format can be modified to be a little bit more simpler

When it was Shopkeep.

Solid system for retail
It is capable software system can handle your small retail shop with ease. inventory management, barcoding, point of sale, price tracking, reports etc all work well. It is bit hard to reach for customer service and lots of training required.
Pros
Software is intact, does not give random errors. you can count on
Cons
it is a bit hard to settle if you have an inventory at some other software. it would be better to have more sync options.

Great User friendly
Great easy to use manage and maintain. Works on almost any tablet phone or cpu.
Pros
Love its ease of use. Cloud based makes taking it on the road to do mobile events a breeze for payment processing and inventory management.
Cons
Could have used a little more help importing our inventory but after I figured it out it was easy to do.
