Great. We loved the easy to use, easy to deploy and syncing features. It syncs to your woocommerce store. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros It is easy to use. It is easy to understand for people who are not used to POS systems. We were able to train new employees on how to use it very quickly. The fact that you can connect several stores online was great. #### Cons Out of nowhere the team behind it decided to make it close source and forcing you to switch to their online SAS option. That didn't work well for us since we have poor internet connection in some of our stores. Therefore we had to develop our own software. The team behind PHP point of sale have since retracted their efforts to make it close source, but it was too late for us; we moved on. #### Reasons for choosing PHP Point of Sale Opensource nature. It's syncing capabilities. #### Vendor response Thank you for the review. We still no longer offer the download version for many reasons. Harder to support (manual server troubleshooting), many clients losing data due to no backups, and rampant piracy. We have had at least 10 instances of people making their own copies and starting businesses based on our own work. We found one such instance with 140+ copies. We no longer could support this as business model. Replied September 2025 --- ### The Unicorn of POS'es - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Ken N. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Retail - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I'm an active PHPPointofSale user for 3+ years now and I can say with confidence that this by far is one of the best POS systems I've used. I waited this long to write a review to ensure that PHPPointofSale live up to my expectation, and it does! I've implemented it in all 3 of my businesses with 3 different segments and use cases. Prior to discovering PHPPointofSale, I was using Heartland and Square. When evaluating the right POS, I take into consideration of licensing, merchants, how often it is updated, whether can it be hosted locally, user interface, the flexibility of data input, customer support, being able to use any gift cards, loyalty program, hardware flexibility, and any additional fees. There is no perfect system for every business but PHPPointofSale is the best system that I've tried after looking at a handful of other systems including the big-name Quickbook, Clover, Toast, Revel, and NCR. The software is constantly innovating and improving. I don't see it slowing down. I thought it was too good to be true but I'm happy and glad that I've found the hidden gem that not too many people know about. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros * Can be self-hosted using your own web hosting provider or locally (off-cloud), and pay a one-time fee if no update is required. They have a cloud-hosted version for a slightly higher price but you'll save on the web hosting fee.* 1 license is all that is required per location even if you have 50 computers running POS.* Total control (Advance User) - Aside from making batch changes by importing and exporting, I could write my own program or script and utilize their API for even faster updates.* If bugs are discovered, it will be fixed within hours to a few days instead of weeks or months.* They have a good collection of credit card processors that allow the end user can choose the cheaper rate among them.* Customer is extremely responsive. There are no hold music or keys to press.* System downtime is almost non-existent unless your internet has an issue.* Provide the customer with a Demo site to test prior to purchasing license. An added benefit is to use the platform to test before applying changes production system.* Gift cards aren't locked to the POS. Meaning you can buy any gift card from any provider and it will work. Certain POS locks the gift card to their own which makes it harder to transfer and costs more.* Hardware flexibility - can be used with iPad, Android Tablet, or PC resulting better redundancy for your business.* Software flexibility - While developing takes time, the software allows for detours instead of dead ends. #### Cons * Offline mode could use some improvements. Users cannot look up items without barcodes nor credit cards can be saved for processing when back online.* Customer-facing display could be better integrated instead of relying on a separate tablet.* Cash drawers can't be opened without wasting a bit of receipt paper. Cash transactions required manual clicking to open.* Closing register report could be improved with more concise details. #### Reasons for choosing PHP Point of Sale When evaluating the right POS, I take into consideration of licensing, merchants, how often it is updated, whether can it be hosted locally, user interface, the flexibility of data input, customer support, being able to use any gift cards, loyalty program, hardware flexibility, and any additional fees. #### Reasons for switching to PHP Point of Sale The Heartland interface seemed outdated and is slow to update or fix any buggy issues. As far as I can remember, they don't take feedback or request improvements directly from users but rather through a 3rd party reseller. Fees are high and you're stuck with their credit card processor.As for Square, every new feature is an add-on subscription and they have their own eco-system. As an example, if the Square stand malfunctions, it will be $800 for a replacement. Fees from Square aren't cheap either and it's not suited for retail or large inventory businesses. What you see is what you get. There is no flexibility with their system. #### Vendor response Thank you so much! Replied December 2022 --- ### PHP point of Sale review in Dermatology Practice with multiple locations. - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Carlos C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Medical Practice - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. The customer service response is impeccable. [SENSITIVE CONTENT] is a "straight shooter" and replies to all my techy questions and needs promptly. Even though in some instances there is no optimal resolution he always has a reply and suggestion. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Cloud platform, so as long as you have an internet connection you are good to go. The price is the lowest I've seen, you pay a yearly subscription per store/location not per user. #### Cons As mentioned before I would like to see more versatility with the sales reports. Interactive drop down reposts with customizable columns with options to export to PDF, csv, xls, HTML, XML. #### Reasons for switching to PHP Point of Sale We used the old Orchid SQL on-premise solution, which had a lot of glitches. The app was a resource hog that would bog down PCs and required a VPN link to all locations. Management of the database was labor-intensive. --- ### I don't know how we dit it without PHP Point of Sale - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Carmen V. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Retail - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: November 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered As a small business owner of a dog store and groomer, a web shop and store took up so much of my time. Especially the syncing of the products in the shop and the store, because sometimes I would forget to do that, so people would buy a product online that was sold out in the store. After many comparisons I chose PHP Point of Sale and from day 1 that it was up and running I felt a lot calmer. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros There is little not to like about this product. It is easy to set up. Has a ton of features, not even all of which we use. And offers so much more compared to other POS systems, truly value for money. What I especially love is the fact that I don't have to spend extra time on inventory and synchronization between store and web shop. And what I also love is that every new product I create in PHP POS is immediately available in the webshop. The possibilities are great, the support is great and fast and the program is very easy to use even for people who have never worked with a POS system before. #### Cons Our only problem was with syncing the products. I wasn't aware that all the products were re-entering my webshop, so suddenly there were a lot of duplicates and I had to spend some extra time on them. But that could also have been a stupid mistake on my part. #### Reasons for choosing PHP Point of Sale I have installed and tried a few other options before finding this hidden gem. From the moment I installed the trial version, my hands started itching to get started with it. The extensive settings, options and support are just fantastic. With others I would have spent double for all these options. --- ### A lot of value for the price - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Bob M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Retail - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. We used a fairly old, desktop-based POS for years. When web-based POS's started coming out, it seemed that they offered some significant advantages - though our first try with one (Hike POS) was an utter failure, based on what was promised with it. PHP POS worked great right from the start. The features they promoted all worked great - in fact, the biggest challenge was in determining how to utilize it's full potential. We've used both the downloaded and hosted version of it, which are virtually identical. We've used it on Windows pc's, ipads, and android devices. As mentioned, they offer exceptional support, including a robust feature request/implementation feature. They don't seem to pursue the same level of marketing as other POS systems, which I'm guessing would account for why they charge only about half the price of similar setups. We're all extremely happy with it. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros There are an incredible number of ways to customize the software, and the range of capabilities is equal to POS software that's far more expensive. On top of that, there's support that surpasses pretty much any other software I've ever used. #### Cons I'd kind of like to see certain reports that aren't readily available, but that's an awfully minor issue. #### Reasons for choosing PHP Point of Sale I wanted one that could be used on a pc as well as ipad, one that had specific functions (e.g., inventory control), and one that was reasonably priced. Square and Shopify have certain advantages in that they also offer e-commerce, but they price one or the other (POS or e-commerce site) unreasonably - at least for us. PHP POS was by far the most feature-rich for the price. #### Reasons for switching to PHP Point of Sale They promoted "seamless integration" with financial software, which never ended up working. There were features that were apparently little used - so flaws that had been overlooked. Reports were inconsistent in accuracy. Support was available, but only with staff that had only a general knowledge of operation - issues had to be thoroughly documented and repeatedly brought up for anything to get to tech-level staff. We had to abandon it about half-way through a one-year subscriptions --- ### All over a great, easy to use, no fuss POS - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Melati K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Retail - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Easy to use. Hardly ever any technical problems occurred during my 4 years of using it. #### Cons If you want to use credit card machine that will automatically “connected” to the POS (the final amount charged to buyer will automatically appear on CC machine) you can only choose from a few providers. #### Reasons for choosing PHP Point of Sale Better price. Easy to use. No fuss features. It’s not an overkill; it serves my needs. --- ### The best POS software that you’ll ever need - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jose M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Retail - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

I first came across this software when it first started long time ago. [SENSITIVE CONTENT] has been very active with its support. Quick and real fast answers to any questions you may have #### Cons There is nothing really I don’t like about this software. #### Reasons for choosing PHP Point of Sale Their online demo showed exactly the features I was looking for --- ### PHP Point of Sale - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Brian M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Telecommunications - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall am satisfied. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The software is friendly, simple and easy user interface but includes most of the important aspects of managing a retail store such as managing employees, inventory control, reports, barcode and more. #### Cons Bacodes can be hard to set-up depending on the size of the lables and the label printer you're using. #### Reasons for choosing PHP Point of Sale Simplicity, Price and straight forwardness of PHP as well as the options available for download or subscription. #### Reasons for switching to PHP Point of Sale Simplicity, Price and straight forwardness of PHP as well as the options available for download or subscription or modification. --- Showing 1 - 10 of 340 Reviews [See All Reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/retail/php-point-of-sale-profile/reviews/) ## PHP Point of Sale Popular Comparisons [Epos Now vs PHP Point of Sale](https://www.softwareadvice.com/retail/epos-now-profile/vs/php-point-of-sale/)[Shopify vs PHP Point of Sale](https://www.softwareadvice.com/retail/php-point-of-sale-profile/vs/shopify/)[RetailEdge vs PHP Point of Sale](https://www.softwareadvice.com/retail/php-point-of-sale-profile/vs/retailedge/)[PayPal vs PHP Point of Sale](https://www.softwareadvice.com/retail/paypal-profile/vs/php-point-of-sale/)[Like Sew vs PHP Point of Sale](https://www.softwareadvice.com/compare/19659-php-point-of-sale/vs/449886-Like-Sew/)[Lightspeed Retail vs PHP Point of Sale](https://www.softwareadvice.com/compare/1932-Lightspeed-Retail/vs/19659-php-point-of-sale/) [Compare All Alternatives](https://www.softwareadvice.com/retail/php-point-of-sale-profile/alternatives/) ## Other Top Recommended Retail POS System Software [Clover](https://www.softwareadvice.com/retail/clover-profile/) **3.8** (580) Recently recommended **29** times [Rain POS](https://www.softwareadvice.com/retail/rainpos-profile/) **4.1** (134) Recently recommended **27** times [Toast POS](https://www.softwareadvice.com/retail/toast-pos-profile/) **4.1** (554) Recently recommended **21** times [AmberPOS](https://www.softwareadvice.com/retail/pacific-amber-technologies-amberpos-profile/) **4.1** (51) Recently recommended **20** times Stuck Between Options?
