WCPOS is free, GPL and genuinely self-hosted — but its own docs say orders require connectivity. Offline selling, restaurant mode and hardware breadth are where the two diverge.
wePOS is a clean self-hosted WooCommerce register with a free cash-only tier, but weDevs documents no offline mode and names no card terminals. A fair, sourced comparison.
Oliver POS stores data in your WooCommerce database but routes through its own cloud sync layer, and tiers pricing by stations and seats. Where each one genuinely wins.
Both keep your data on your own WordPress site. FooSales' apps stop working when the subscription lapses; OpenPOS is bought once. Compare caps, restaurant features and hardware.
Loyverse's core POS is free, but employee management is billed per employee and sales history is a paid tier. It also has no first-party WooCommerce integration. A fair comparison.
Toast is exclusive on payments, requires approved hardware, charges an early termination fee, and does not integrate with WooCommerce. When it is still the right call, and when it is not.
Clover devices cannot be used with another payment processor, and its first-party WooCommerce plugin handles payments only, not inventory. What that means for a WooCommerce shop.
Lightspeed's WooCommerce integration makes Lightspeed the system of record. Compare per-location and per-register fees, the third-party processing fee, and inventory depth.
Shopify POS requires a Shopify store, so choosing it means replatforming. What POS Pro costs per location, how its offline card mode works, and when staying on WooCommerce wins.
Square owns your payments and syncs to WooCommerce through a connector; OpenPOS writes to your WooCommerce database directly. A fair comparison of cost, offline mode and lock-in.
