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. > > Great. We loved the easy to use, easy to deploy and syncing features. It syncs to your woocommerce store. ----- ### "The Unicorn of POS'es" — 5.0/5 > **Ken** | *15 December 2022* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: \*  Can be self-hosted using your own web hosting provider or locally (off-cloud), and pay a one-time fee if no update is required.  They have a cloud-hosted version for a slightly higher price but you'll save on the web hosting fee.\* 1 license is all that is required per location even if you have 50 computers running POS.\* Total control (Advance User) - Aside from making batch changes by importing and exporting, I could write my own program or script and utilize their API for even faster updates.\* If bugs are discovered, it will be fixed within hours to a few days instead of weeks or months.\* They have a good collection of credit card processors that allow the end user can choose the cheaper rate among them.\* Customer is extremely responsive.  There are no hold music or keys to press.\* System downtime is almost non-existent unless your internet has an issue.\* Provide the customer with a Demo site to test prior to purchasing license.  An added benefit is to use the platform to test before applying changes production system.\* Gift cards aren't locked to the POS.  Meaning you can buy any gift card from any provider and it will work.  Certain POS locks the gift card to their own which makes it harder to transfer and costs more.\* Hardware flexibility - can be used with iPad, Android Tablet, or PC resulting better redundancy for your business.\* Software flexibility - While developing takes time, the software allows for detours instead of dead ends. > > **Cons**: \* Offline mode could use some improvements.  Users cannot look up items without barcodes nor credit cards can be saved for processing when back online.\* Customer-facing display could be better integrated instead of relying on a separate tablet.\* Cash drawers can't be opened without wasting a bit of receipt paper.  Cash transactions required manual clicking to open.\* Closing register report could be improved with more concise details. > > I'm an active PHPPointofSale user for 3+ years now and I can say with confidence that this by far is one of the best POS systems I've used.  I waited this long to write a review to ensure that PHPPointofSale live up to my expectation, and it does\!  I've implemented it in all 3 of my businesses with 3 different segments and use cases.  Prior to discovering PHPPointofSale, I was using Heartland and Square.  When evaluating the right POS, I take into consideration of licensing, merchants, how often it is updated, whether can it be hosted locally, user interface, the flexibility of data input, customer support, being able to use any gift cards, loyalty program, hardware flexibility, and any additional fees. There is no perfect system for every business but PHPPointofSale is the best system that I've tried after looking at a handful of other systems including the big-name Quickbook, Clover, Toast, Revel, and NCR.  The software is constantly innovating and improving.  I don't see it slowing down.  I thought it was too good to be true but I'm happy and glad that I've found the hidden gem that not too many people know about. ----- ### "PHP point of Sale review in Dermatology Practice with multiple locations." — 4.0/5 > **Carlos** | *31 May 2022* | Medical Practice | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Cloud platform, so as long as you have an internet connection you are good to go. The price is the lowest I've seen, you pay a yearly subscription per store/location not per user. > > **Cons**: As mentioned before I would like to see more versatility with the sales reports. Interactive drop down reposts with customizable columns with options to export to PDF, csv, xls, HTML, XML. > > The customer service response is impeccable. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] is a "straight shooter" and replies to all my techy questions and needs promptly. Even though in some instances there is no optimal resolution he always has a reply and suggestion. ----- Page: 1 / 15\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/19659/php-point-of-sale?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/19659/php-point-of-sale) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
