Retail Express

Run retail as one connected system

Q: Why do retailers choose Retail Express point of sale software?

Retailers choose Retail Express point of sale software because it combines the tools used at the counter with the tools needed to run the business. Staff can complete sales and refunds quickly, while owners can manage inventory, purchase orders, customers, and reports from the same platform. It is designed for product retail in Australia and New Zealand, with local support and integrations for Shopify, Xero, and MYOB.

Q: Is Retail Express point of sale software built for retail?

Yes. Retail Express is point of sale software for retail businesses that sell physical products with barcodes or SKUs. It supports product variants, supplier purchase orders, stocktakes, laybys, promotions, multi-store workflows, and ecommerce connections. It is not designed as a full hospitality system for table service, kitchen displays, or tabs.

Q: What is POS software, and how is it different from a POS system?

POS software is the program your staff use to scan products, take payments, issue receipts, and update customer and stock records at checkout. A POS system is the broader setup around that software, which can include compatible hardware, payment terminals, inventory, reporting, and business processes. Retail Express provides the POS software and retail back office in one cloud platform; you choose compatible hardware and an EFTPOS provider. If you are evaluating options, see our best POS system guide.

POS Software for AU & NZ Retail FAQ

Answers for retailers in Australia and New Zealand.

Why do retailers choose Retail Express point of sale software?

Retailers choose Retail Express point of sale software because it combines the tools used at the counter with the tools needed to run the business. Staff can complete sales and refunds quickly, while owners can manage inventory, purchase orders, customers, and reports from the same platform. It is designed for product retail in Australia and New Zealand, with local support and integrations for Shopify, Xero, and MYOB.

How does Retail Express point of sale software help a retail business?

Retail Express connects sales activity to the rest of your operation. When a product sells, inventory updates, the sale is available in reporting, and the customer record can be updated at the same time. This gives retailers better visibility of stock and performance, reduces manual admin, and helps teams make decisions from current data rather than separate spreadsheets.

Is Retail Express point of sale software built for retail?

Yes. Retail Express is point of sale software for retail businesses that sell physical products with barcodes or SKUs. It supports product variants, supplier purchase orders, stocktakes, laybys, promotions, multi-store workflows, and ecommerce connections. It is not designed as a full hospitality system for table service, kitchen displays, or tabs.

What is POS software, and how is it different from a POS system?

POS software is the program your staff use to scan products, take payments, issue receipts, and update customer and stock records at checkout. A POS system is the broader setup around that software, which can include compatible hardware, payment terminals, inventory, reporting, and business processes. Retail Express provides the POS software and retail back office in one cloud platform; you choose compatible hardware and an EFTPOS provider. If you are evaluating options, see our best POS system guide.

Does POS software update my stock automatically?

With Retail Express, yes. Every sale drops your on-hand count in real time, so the numbers in the back office match the shelf and you stop overselling online. This live link between checkout and inventory is the main reason product retailers move off a basic cash-drawer till. See inventory management.

Can I keep selling if the internet goes down?

Yes, on eligible setups. Retail Express offers offline POS so staff keep ringing up sales during an outage, and everything syncs back automatically once you are online again, with nothing re-keyed by hand. See offline POS.

Does Retail Express work with AU & NZ EFTPOS and accounting?

Yes. It produces GST-ready receipts and reporting, connects to integrated EFTPOS such as Tyro and Linkly through compatible hardware, and links to Xero and MYOB so sales flow into your books. Support is based in AU & NZ time zones. See POS payments and retail accounting.

What's the difference between retail and hospitality POS software?

Retail POS software is built for barcoded product shops, boutiques, grocery, liquor, homewares, with inventory, laybys, promotions, and multi-store stock. Hospitality POS is built for table service, kitchen tickets, and tabs. Retail Express is retail POS software; if you need kitchen display or table plans you need a dedicated hospitality POS vendor. For venues with a retail line, see restaurant POS: when Retail Express fits.

Is POS software the same as a POS machine or EFTPOS?

No. POS software is the till program (Retail Express). A POS machine, POS terminal, or EFTPOS device is hardware or a payments device (Tyro terminal, touch PC, receipt printer). Most shops need both: Retail Express as the software, plus compatible hardware from our POS hardware guide. For integrated card terminals, see EFTPOS hardware.

How much does POS software cost in AU & NZ?

Retail Express POS software is a monthly subscription per store. Card-processing and hardware costs are separate. See pricing.

Is there free POS software for small retail?

Free or very cheap POS tools exist, but small retailers who need barcodes, live stock, and accounting links usually choose a paid cloud platform. Retail Express offers tiered monthly plans for AU & NZ; see pricing.

Is Retail Express a good fit for my business?

If you sell physical products with SKUs or barcodes in AU or NZ, it is likely a strong fit, book a demo to see it on your own products. Compare best point of sale software, retail POS software, or POS for small business for your scale.
