Common pain points

The wrong small-business POS slows the shop down

Busy Saturdays slow staff down

Quick Products and predictive search help floor staff find and sell products fast when the counter is busy.

Mystery variances at close

One register per till with structured cash-up gives clearer end-of-day reconciliation for a lean team.

Fear of outgrowing one shop

The same platform can add registers, Shopify, click and collect, or a second store without replacing your POS.

Easy till

Easy point of sale for a small shop

Staff learn a browser-based till quickly, scan barcodes or search products with Google-like predictive search, take cash, EFTPOS, Afterpay or Zip, and print or email receipts without a cluttered screen built for hospitality or enterprise workflows. Quick Products give one-tap access to your bestsellers for busy Saturdays.

Stock

Inventory that fits a lean team

See what's on hand as you sell, run stocktakes from the browser or Excel, and receive supplier deliveries without a separate stock system. Small grocery and convenience retailers can manage SKU-based products, variants and barcodes in one place.

End-of-day you can trust

POS for Small Business FAQ

Answers for retailers in Australia and New Zealand.

Yes. Retail Express is used by thousands of AU & NZ retailers, including many single-store businesses. You get an easy-to-run cloud point of sale with inventory, reporting and support on one platform, with an included register per store and a path to add ecommerce or more locations later.

Yes. Retail Express provides point of sale systems for small business retailers across Australia and New Zealand, boutiques, gift stores, footwear, homewares, and similar product-retail shops. Pricing, implementation and phone support are geared to local retailers.

Yes. Most small shops run one POS register plus the included Back Office Register. Set up payment types, Quick Products and optional receipt printing from POS Settings. Add more registers when you add lanes or staff.

Yes, for small grocery, convenience and specialty food retailers that sell barcode-based products with inventory tracking. You can scan items at the till, manage stock levels, and run stocktakes. It is not a weigh-scale or deli-label system, check hardware requirements for supported peripherals.

Retail Express is designed for product retail, not table-service hospitality. A cafe that primarily sells seated meals, kitchen dockets and course firing is better served by a dedicated hospitality POS vendor, see cafe POS: when Retail Express fits. If you run a small retail shopfront (packaged goods, merch, pantry items) with barcode inventory, Retail Express may fit, book a demo to confirm your workflow.

Generally no for full-service restaurants, Retail Express does not provide table plans, kitchen display or hospitality course management. It is built for retailers selling products at a till. For the hospitality vs retail breakdown in a venue, see restaurant POS: when Retail Express fits. For hybrid venues, speak with our team if retail product sales (not kitchen service) are your main need.

At minimum, a Windows 10/11 PC or iPad with a modern browser. For receipt printing and integrated EFTPOS, use a Windows PC with the Hardware Utility, an Epson-compatible receipt printer, and optional USB barcode scanner. Source compatible kit from our preferred partner via the POS hardware guide. Retail Express does not sell POS machines directly.

Stay on Retail Express. Add stores, registers, Shopify, click & collect and multi-store inventory without changing platform. See multi-store & omnichannel retail.

Single-location retailers typically start on the Essential plan (see the pricing page for current plans and monthly fees). Standard plans include one back office register and one POS register per outlet; add-ons are optional. For a full breakdown of POS system cost, fees, expenses and hardware, see our POS pricing FAQ below the pricing page.

If you take web or click-and-collect orders, yes. Retail Express includes order management for customer orders at your store: POS fulfilment and back-office dispatch via fulfilment & shipping. Supplier buying uses separate purchase order software. Retail Express is not a standalone enterprise OMS or 3PL.
