OpenPOS — WooCommerce POS Plugin for Retail & Cafes

img

What Is OpenPOS?

OpenPOS is a complete point-of-sale plugin built specifically for WooCommerce and WordPress. It bridges your online store and your physical location—whether you operate a retail outlet, restaurant, cafe, or spa—so you can manage sales, inventory, and customer service from one unified system without juggling separate platforms.

Key Features

OpenPOS includes everything you need for a modern POS environment. The cafe and restaurant mode offers table management, merge tables, transfer tables, and a dedicated kitchen view screen, with real-time synchronization of table order data between the waiter’s phone or tablet and the kitchen’s phone, tablet, or PC. For retail and grocery settings, the general mode includes a customer display. You can manage multiple warehouses (outlets) and handle inventory through transfers, adjustments, and a full inventory overview with multiple records.

The system supports all types of barcode scanner devices, plus barcode camera and QR code scanning over HTTPS. You can add products by scanning a barcode or searching by name or SKU. It handles decimal stock and negative quantity, rounds currency, and allows order notes and item notes. Discounts and coupons work at both the item and cart level. Multiple shopping carts can be verified and saved using the saved cart function.

Staff management includes user login controls for the POS panel and active session tracking that records the cash register name, location, and IP address. Cashiers can log off without losing their work session, preventing unauthorized data changes. Receipts and barcode labels can be printed or emailed, and cash management is fully supported. Checkout works with standard or extended WooCommerce gateways, supports split payments, and operates in offline mode. The plugin also handles transactions and sales reports, full and partial refunds, full and partial exchanges, and integrates directly with WooCommerce Product Add-Ons and WooCommerce Product Bundles for simple, variable, and complex products.

Benefits for Your Business

By integrating OpenPOS into your WooCommerce store, you eliminate the friction of managing separate online and offline systems. There are no monthly fees, which helps reduce ongoing operational costs. The dedicated restaurant and cafe mode streamlines service flow from table to kitchen, improving speed and accuracy during busy periods. Inventory management across multiple outlets gives you clear visibility and control, while support for decimal stock and negative quantity provides flexibility for specialized retail needs.

Offline mode ensures you can continue serving customers even when connectivity is limited. Flexible payment handling—including split payments, multiple methods, and integrated WooCommerce gateways—makes checkout smoother for both staff and customers. The ability to save carts, apply discounts, and manage user sessions improves accountability and reduces errors at the register.

How It Can Be Used

Retail stores benefit from the general grocery mode with customer display, barcode scanning, and multi-warehouse inventory tracking. Restaurants and cafes can take full advantage of table management, kitchen view screens, and real-time order synchronization between front-of-house and kitchen staff. Spas and service businesses can use the POS for appointment-linked sales, inventory tracking for products, and receipt management. Because OpenPOS supports variable and complex products through WooCommerce Product Add-Ons and Bundles, it adapts well to businesses that sell customized or bundled offerings.

Why Choose OpenPOS?

OpenPOS is an all-in-one point-of-sale system that lives inside your WooCommerce environment. You do not need a separate subscription or external platform to run your in-person sales. It supports standard and extended WooCommerce payment gateways, works with your existing product catalog—including add-ons and bundles—and provides the reporting and session controls needed for professional retail and hospitality operations. The plugin is designed to be easy to extend and manage at the code level, giving developers and store owners flexibility without unnecessary complexity.
