Introduction
What is WCPOS?
WCPOS is a point of sale (POS) for WooCommerce. It runs in a web browser or as a Windows, macOS or Linux desktop app, with iOS and Android apps in beta. It sells from the same catalogue, stock and prices as your online store and records every sale as a WooCommerce order. The free plugin takes cash and external card payments and prints receipts; WCPOS Pro adds integrated card readers, refunds, stock editing, order history, reports and multiple stores.
Not sure it fits your store? Is WCPOS right for you? covers who it suits, what it needs, what it costs and how it compares.
Run on tablets and phones. Currently in beta testing.
Native apps with enhanced performance and offline capabilities.
Get Started in 5 Minutes
Install the Plugin
Install the free WCPOS plugin on your WordPress site:
- Go to WP Admin → Plugins → Add New
- Search for "WCPOS"
- Click Install Now, then Activate
See Installation for detailed requirements.
Access the POS
Web Users: Navigate to yourdomain.com/pos in your browser. You'll be prompted to log in with your WordPress credentials.
Desktop/Mobile Users: Download the app, enter your store URL, click Connect, and log in with your WordPress credentials.
See Connect for details on managing multiple stores and users.
Wait for Initial Sync
WCPOS downloads your catalogue in small batches in the background to avoid overloading your server — you don't need to wait for everything to sync before you start selling. Searching for a product fetches it immediately if it isn't on the device yet.
See Product Synchronisation for details.
