BelloPOS for your trade
Free POS software for parapharmacies
Dermo-cosmetics, baby care and supplements: a counter that scans fast and a stock that stays in order.
Free download for Windows · checking the latest release… · works offline
A parapharmacy carries hundreds of close references (the same cream in three sizes, the same brand across ten ranges) and customers who come back for exactly what they bought last time. BelloPOS scans each box at the counter, keeps products organised by category, and remembers what each customer bought, on the Windows PC or Mac in your shop, with no internet needed.
Choose "Parapharmacy" at setup and the demo database opens on dermo-cosmetics, baby and mother care, hygiene, supplements and first aid, in your language and currency. Stock alerts flag the references that are running low, so the best-selling sunscreen is never missing in July.
What you get
Barcode checkout
Scan the box and the product, price and tax land in the basket. No searching through similar names.
Organised catalogue
Categories and subcategories keep skincare, baby care and supplements apart, at the till and in the stock screen.
Customer history
Attach a sale to a customer and see their previous purchases, so recommending the same product again takes a second.
Stock and supplier orders
Minimum levels flag what to reorder, and supplier purchases bring the new stock in at its real cost.

Every way your customers pay
South Africans still pay with cash, but tap, QR codes and instant EFT are growing fast. BelloPOS records each payment by method so your cash-up balances, while the money itself goes through the card machine or app you already use.
- Cash, with change worked out and a cash drawer that opens on the sale
- Card and tap, on your own card machine from your bank or provider
- QR payments such as SnapScan and Zapper, recorded as their own method
- EFT and instant payments such as PayShap, for larger orders
- Split payments, for example part cash and part card
- Customer accounts (the book), where regulars pay later, in Go and above
- Open and close each shift with a float and an X/Z report
BelloPOS does not connect to card machines or process payments itself. The customer pays on your existing card machine or app, and you record the method and amount in BelloPOS.
Questions merchants ask
Can I track the same product in several sizes?
Yes. Each size is its own product with its own barcode, price and stock, grouped under the same category.
Is there a demo parapharmacy catalogue?
Yes. Pick "Try with demo data" and then "Parapharmacy" at setup: skincare, baby care, hygiene, supplements and first aid are created for you.
What does it cost?
Lite is free for life with checkout, stock and barcodes. Paid plans add purchases and more, sold for life or by the month.
