Openpos WooCommerce Point Of Sale – a complete point of sale solution based on WooCommerce
Openpos WooCommerce Point of Sale is a comprehensive point-of-sale (POS) system powered directly by WooCommerce, combining brick-and-mortar and online sales in one seamless environment. The solution allows you to process transactions in your store, showroom, or seasonal store from a browser on your computer, tablet, or terminal, while all orders, inventory, and customer data are synchronized with WooCommerce in real time. This eliminates duplicate data entry and gives merchants complete control over their offerings, inventory, and cashiers across multiple locations.
The system is designed with speed and reliability in mind. An intuitive cashier interface, barcode scanner support, and receipt printing capabilities help shorten queues and increase customer satisfaction. Openpos WooCommerce Point of Sale reflects tax policies and promotions configured in WooCommerce, ensuring consistent billing and offers across all sales channels.
The most important functions in practice
- Multiple points of sale and cash registers: define separate outlets, assign cashiers, and control inventory at the store level.
- Cashier interface: Full screen mode, quick product search, shortcut lists, category tiles and discount keys ensure a smooth checkout process.
- Barcode scanning: support for readers that work like HID devices (entering codes as if from a keyboard) for instantly adding products to the cart.
- Receipt printing: compatibility with 58/80 mm thermal printers (ESC/POS), possibility of personalizing the receipt header, logo and footer and printing a copy.
- Real-time inventory levels: instant stock counting after sales, variant handling, and assigning a warehouse to a specific cash register.

- Handling special orders: parking (suspending) transactions, returns, exchanges, cancellations and reprints of confirmations.
- Product compatibility: simple and variant products, sets, attributes, units of measure; ability to add custom items at the counter.
- Access control: cashier roles and permissions, activity log and selected transaction limits (e.g. maximum discount).
Benefits for the company and the sales team
- One data ecosystem: products, prices, inventory, orders, and taxes are handled in WooCommerce and visible immediately in the POS, eliminating errors resulting from duplicate information.
- Consistency of the offer in omnichannel: the same coupons, tax rules and price lists work both online and in-store.
- Faster service and shorter queues: code scanning, keyboard shortcuts and a clear interface streamline the process from product search to receipt printing.
- Full control over the cash register: shift settlements, revenue reports, insight into cash register operations and price change logs facilitate the supervision of branches.
- Scale as you grow: Easily add new registers, cashiers, and points of sale without having to change platforms.
- Reliability in the field: offline mode allows you to sell at trade shows, events and locations with unreliable connections.
Example applications

- Sporting Goods and Pet Stores: Multi-site inventory, exchanges and returns compliant with WooCommerce policies.
- Showrooms, pop-up stores and mobile sales: working on tablets, printing 80 mm receipts and subsequent synchronization of orders.
Implementation and configuration in the WooCommerce environment
Implementation is a simple process: installing the plugin, linking it to the existing WooCommerce catalog, creating points of sale and cash registers, assigning warehouses and tax rates, adding cashiers with appropriate roles, and personalizing receipts. Next, it's worth preparing quick product lists and categories, testing barcode scanner support, and verifying payment method mapping. Hardware-wise, we recommend scanners operating in keyboard mode, ESC/POS-compatible thermal printers, and printer-controlled cash drawers.
Openpos WooCommerce Point of Sale leverages existing WooCommerce cart rules, coupons, and taxes out of the box, ensuring the setup remains consistent with your existing online sales model. Stock levels fluctuate in real time across locations, reducing the risk of selling out-of-stock items and simplifying replenishment.
