Free POS for convenience stores and general retail

A neighbourhood shop sells hundreds of small things to people in a hurry. BelloPOS rings them up with a barcode scanner or a tap on the grid, totals the basket with the right tax on each line, and prints the ticket straight away. It runs on an ordinary Windows PC or Mac and keeps selling with no internet at all.

Choose "General retail" at setup and the demo database is filled with snacks, drinks, household goods and accessories, named in your language and priced in your currency, so the shop looks like yours from the first minute. Low-stock alerts then tell you what to reorder before the shelf is empty.

What you get

Scan or tap, then pay

Any USB barcode scanner works out of the box, and items without a barcode sit one tap away on the grid.

Stock alerts

Set a minimum for each product and see what is running low before the weekend rush, not after.

Barcode labels

Print your own labels for loose or unlabelled goods, with name and price, from the same app.

Know your best sellers

Reports show what sells, what sits on the shelf and the margin on each, so you buy on numbers instead of habit.

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

Which barcode scanners work?

Any USB or Bluetooth scanner that types like a keyboard, which is nearly all of them. No driver or setup is needed.

Can I try it with typical shop products?

Yes. At setup choose "Try with demo data", then "General retail", and BelloPOS creates a ready-made catalogue of snacks, drinks and everyday goods.

Is it really free?

The Lite plan is a free lifetime licence with checkout, receipts, barcodes and stock. Bigger plans are sold for life or by the month, and nothing renews automatically.
