Questions buyers ask
Is WCPOS the same as WooCommerce POS?
Yes. WCPOS was formerly called WooCommerce POS. It’s an independent plugin by kilbot, separate from the point of sale built into the WooCommerce mobile app.
Does WCPOS take card payments?
On the Pro plan, through any WooCommerce gateway and integrated readers from Stripe Terminal, SumUp and Vipps/MobilePay. The free plan records cash and manual card payments.
Does WCPOS work offline?
Partly. It stores products locally so you can keep building carts and saving orders when the connection drops, then it syncs. Taking a card payment still needs a connection.
