BelloPOS for your trade
Free POS for stationery and school supply shops
The back-to-school rush, one list at a time, on a till that keeps up with the queue.
Free download for Windows · checking the latest release… · works offline
For a stationery shop, September is the year: parents with long lists, dozens of small items per basket, and a queue out the door. BelloPOS rings up notebooks, pens and geometry sets by barcode or by tap, totals the list in seconds and prints the ticket, on your shop's Windows PC or Mac, with no internet needed.
Choose "School supplies" at setup and the demo database is filled with notebooks, writing tools, bags, geometry and stationery, in your language and currency. Print your own barcode labels for loose pens and erasers, and let stock alerts tell you which items to reorder before the rush peaks.
What you get
Long lists, fast
Scan or tap each item and change quantities on the keypad: twelve notebooks are one line, not twelve taps.
Labels for small items
Print barcode labels for pens, erasers and anything sold loose, so the counter can scan everything.
Ready for the peak
Minimum stock levels warn you before the best-selling notebooks run out in the middle of September.
Schools and businesses on account
Keep schools or offices as customers, issue a proper invoice and follow what each one still owes.

Every way your customers pay
Nigerian customers pay with cash, bank transfer and the POS terminal, often all three in one afternoon. You add the payment methods your shop takes, and each sale in BelloPOS records how it was paid. The money itself still goes through your bank or terminal provider.
- Cash, with change worked out and a cash drawer that opens on the sale
- Bank transfer, recorded as its own method so you can tick each sale against your alerts
- Card and transfer on your own POS terminal from Moniepoint, Opay, PalmPay or your bank
- USSD and QR payments, recorded under the method you name
- Any other method you take, added by you in a few clicks
- Customer credit, where regulars buy now and pay at month-end, in Go and above
- A daily cash count at closing, the drawer checked against the day's sales
BelloPOS does not connect to POS terminals or bank accounts and cannot confirm that a transfer has arrived. Check the alert as usual, then record the payment in BelloPOS.
Questions merchants ask
Can I sell items that have no barcode?
Yes. Put them on the product grid or print your own barcode labels from BelloPOS.
Is there a demo catalogue for school supplies?
Yes. At setup choose "Try with demo data", then "School supplies", and the catalogue is created in your language and currency.
Does it work offline?
Yes, entirely. The data lives on your own PC, so the busiest week of the year never depends on the connection.
