POS Software for Australian Retail & Hospitality
Your point of sale software is the engine of your till, and the right choice depends on your business type, your budget and the hardware you want to run it on. POS Plaza works with the major POS software platforms used in Australia and supplies the matching hardware, so you can buy the software and the till that runs it from one place. Call us on 1300 115 808 to talk through the best fit.
POS software options we support
- Square is a free iPad and mobile POS app, a popular low-cost starting point for small retail and hospitality.
- Shopify POS is the in-store point of sale app for Shopify, the natural fit if you already sell online with Shopify and want your retail and online sales running on one platform.
- MYOB Retail/Hospitality software suits businesses that want their POS tied closely to MYOB accounting.
- Kounta is a cloud hospitality POS used widely in cafes, bars and restaurants.
- Retail Express is a cloud retail POS and inventory platform for multi-store retailers.
The hardware to run it
Software needs hardware to run on. For Windows-based POS we supply terminals such as the HP Engage One Pro all-in-one, along with monitors and the peripherals to complete the till. For tablet and cloud apps like Square, Shopify and Kounta, see our iPad and Mac compatible hardware and iPad bundles. We also stock card printing software such as Card Studio for ID card setups.
How much does POS software cost?
It varies widely, from a free Square app through to subscription cloud platforms and full Windows POS terminals priced into the thousands. Because software licensing and subscriptions change, talk to us about your business and we will recommend a software and hardware combination. All hardware prices inc GST and were accurate at the time of writing; check each product page for current pricing.
Frequently asked questions
Q: Which POS software is best for a small cafe?
A: Cloud apps like Square or Kounta are popular with cafes for their low entry cost and tablet-based hardware. The best fit depends on your menu, reporting and integration needs. Call us on 1300 115 808 and we will help you compare.
Q: Do you supply hardware for Shopify POS?
A: Yes. Shopify POS runs on iPad and mobile, so it uses tablet-friendly hardware: Bluetooth or network receipt printers, Bluetooth barcode scanners and compatible cash drawers. See our iPad and Mac compatible hardware and iPad bundles, or call us to match a kit to Shopify POS.
Q: Do you sell the hardware to run the software?
A: Yes. We supply Windows POS terminals such as the HP Engage One Pro for desktop software, and tablet hardware for cloud apps, plus printers, scanners and cash drawers to complete the setup.
Q: Is Square POS really free?
A: The Square POS app is free to download and use, with Square charging a fee per transaction. You still need compatible hardware such as an iPad, printer and cash drawer, which we can supply.
Q: Can you match software to my existing hardware?
A: Often, yes. Tell us what hardware you already run and we will advise which POS software options are compatible so you do not have to replace everything.
