Start with how you sell
Use your WooCommerce data
Jovvie, Oliver POS, wePOS, FooSales, WCPOS and YITH POS work with your WooCommerce data directly, so there’s no second catalog to sync.
Check that readers are built in
YITH POS doesn’t connect to card readers, and wePOS doesn’t list any. Jovvie, FooSales, Oliver POS and WCPOS Pro connect Stripe readers.
Keep your merchant account
Jovvie supports NMI merchant accounts for in-person payments, so you keep your processor and rates.
Start free or pay once
WCPOS, wePOS and WooCommerce’s own POS have free options. WCPOS and wePOS also sell lifetime licenses.
Hardware and processing together
Square for WooCommerce bundles hardware, POS software and processing from one company.
Multi-location retail
Hike POS and ConnectPOS focus on retailers with several stores and a separate back office.

Compare →Why Jovvie isn’t free, and what to check before choosing a free POS
Several tools on this page have free plans, and for some stores they’re the right choice. A POS also runs your payments every day, so it’s worth asking how a free one is paid for and what it leaves out.
Questions to ask any free POS
- Can it take cards on the free plan? Some free plans record only cash or manual card entries, and card readers come with a paid upgrade. wePOS and WCPOS, for example, add card payments in their paid plans.
- What are the limits? Look for caps on products, transactions, users or registers. Oliver POS’s free plan, for example, allows 20 products and 50 transactions a month.
- Who helps when something breaks? Check whether free users get support, through which channels, and how fast.
- Is it kept up to date? A POS plugin needs updates for each WordPress and WooCommerce release. Check the last update and “tested up to” version on WordPress.org.
- How is it paid for? If not by a subscription, then often by processing markups, paid add-ons or hardware.
