The POS system for Canadian shops that works offline

Yes. The Lite plan is free forever: you can sell, print receipts, add products, scan barcodes and count stock with no time limit and no card. Paid plans (Go, Pro and Pro+) add features such as multiple tills, customer credit, the restaurant module and the Ares AI assistant. Paid plans are priced in Canadian dollars on the pricing page, and you can try Pro free for 7 days inside the app.

You set the tax rates your province uses and assign the right one to each product, so a basket can mix taxable and zero-rated items and the receipt shows the tax lines. If you charge two taxes on the same item, as in B.C., Manitoba, Saskatchewan or Quebec, test your setup in the free version first and confirm it with your accountant. BelloPOS does not file returns.

Yes, on the terminal you already use. BelloPOS is not a payment processor and is not linked to Moneris, Square or other providers, so customers tap or insert their card on your terminal as usual. The cashier then records the payment as debit, credit, cash, e-Transfer or account. Split payments are supported, and the end-of-day report breaks totals down by method.

Yes, fully. The app and your data live on your own Windows PC, Mac or Android tablet, so you can sell, print receipts and update stock with no connection at all. That matters for shops on rural lines, in basements or in malls with patchy Wi-Fi, and during storm outages. You only need the internet to download the app and activate a paid key.

Not as your billing system. Quebec requires QST-registered restaurants and bars to produce bills with a Revenu Québec-certified sales recording system linked to the WEB-SRM. BelloPOS is not certified. Shops in Quebec that are not restaurants or bars, such as grocers or boutiques, are not covered by that measure, but check your own situation with your accountant before choosing a till.

No. BelloPOS holds no certification or approval from the CRA, Revenu Québec or any provincial tax authority. It is a tool to record sales, manage stock and print receipts and invoices with the details your customers need. Your obligations to charge, report and remit tax stay with your business, so have your accountant review your setup.

A Windows PC or a Mac running macOS 12 or later. Any USB or Bluetooth barcode scanner works because it acts like a keyboard, and most receipt printers and label printers can be used. A second screen can face the customer. BelloPOS also runs on Android tablets (Android 7 or later). With Pro, staff can also ring up sales from a phone using the handheld cashier web app.

Download the app and use Lite or the 7-day Pro trial first. When you are ready, place your order on the site, choose a one-time licence or a monthly or yearly key, and we email your activation key. Purchases are invoiced from the United States, and every paid plan comes with a 14-day money-back guarantee.
