Common pain points

Why choosing a POS system is hard

Too many options, no clear winner

Feature lists look similar until you test checkout, stock, and reporting on your real products.

Systems that do not scale with you

A till that works for one shop can break when you add stores, registers, Shopify, or head-office reporting.

Surprise costs and weak support

Low headline pricing often hides per-register fees, integration add-ons, and offshore support when you need help on a busy Saturday.

All in one

Point of sale software and back office in one platform

The best point of sale software does more than take payment. Retail Express links checkout to live stock, customers, purchasing, and reporting in one subscription, so you are not gluing a till app to a separate stock spreadsheet. Every sale updates inventory and reporting in real time. See retail POS software.

Flexible payments

Take every payment your customers expect

Strong point of sale software takes payment however the customer wants to pay, without slowing the queue. Retail Express handles split and partial payments on one sale across cash, EFTPOS, manual MOTO/EFTPOS entries, and buy-now-pay-later with Afterpay and Zip. Refunds process against the original sale. See POS payments and buy now pay later at POS.

Multi-store selling

Sell stock from any store, without losing the sale

Point of sale software should never turn a customer away because stock is in another shop. In Retail Express, staff can sell stock from another outlet right at the till and fulfil from the location that has it. Stores can raise, dispatch, and receive transfers to move stock where it sells. See cross-store POS selling and stock transfers.

Offline POS

Keep selling when the internet drops

Point of sale software that stops when the connection drops costs you sales. Retail Express offline POS lets staff keep scanning products, taking payments, and printing receipts during an outage, then syncs every sale automatically when you are back online. See offline POS.

Integrations

Connect Shopify, Xero and MYOB

The best point of sale software connects to the tools you already run. Retail Express links to Shopify for online orders and stock sync, and to Xero and MYOB for sales and stock journals, so you are not re-keying data between systems. See the important retail integrations.

Answers for retailers in Australia and New Zealand.
