What it does
Retailers who sell online and in a physical shop often end up juggling two systems: one for the website and another for the till. That split leads to stock counts that drift apart and customer details scattered across tools. This plugin connects in-store sales directly to WooCommerce, which it requires, so orders taken at the counter sit alongside online orders in the same dashboard and stock updates in real time across both channels.
At the counter, staff can ring up sales on one or several registers, take payment through a range of payment methods and print receipts or invoices you have customized. Customer details collected in person are stored with those gathered online. If the internet connection drops, sales can continue in offline mode and sync once the connection returns. Sales reports cover performance across channels, which suits shops of different sizes that want a single view of how they are doing.
Best for
- WooCommerce shops that also sell from a physical store
- Retailers running several registers at once
- Businesses wanting one inventory for online and in-person sales
Features
Single dashboard for all orders
In-store sales are managed alongside your online WooCommerce orders from one dashboard, so there is no separate system to check for counter transactions.
Real-time inventory sync
Stock levels update automatically across your online store and physical registers, which helps reduce overselling and items running out unexpectedly.
Multiple payment methods
Process payments at checkout with support for a variety of payment methods, giving customers options when they pay in person.
Customer management
Collect and look up customer details both in person and online, giving staff the information they need to offer more personal service.
Multi-register support
Run several physical registers at the same time, a practical setup for shops that see a lot of foot traffic during busy hours.
Offline mode
Keep processing sales when the internet connection goes down. Transactions sync automatically once the store is back online.
Customizable receipts and invoices
Adjust receipts and invoices to match your brand and to meet local compliance requirements for the documents you hand to customers.
Cross-channel sales reporting
Review detailed sales reports that cover performance across your online and in-store channels, helping you make informed decisions about stock and staffing.

Questions about Point of Sale
Does this work without WooCommerce?
No. The plugin is built for WooCommerce-powered websites and requires WooCommerce to run. It uses your existing WooCommerce products, stock and orders as the base for in-store sales.
What happens if my shop loses internet during a sale?
The plugin includes an offline mode, so staff can keep processing sales without an internet connection. Once the connection is restored, those transactions sync automatically with your store.
Will my online stock and in-store stock stay in sync?
Yes. Inventory synchronizes in real time across all sales channels, so a sale at the counter updates the stock level shown on your website, and an online order updates what the register sees.
Can I use Point of Sale for WooCommerce with more than one register?
Yes. It supports multiple physical registers operating at the same time, which suits retailers with high foot traffic or several checkout points in one shop.
