Loyverse POS review

Loyverse is a POS system for small businesses, with checkout tools plus sales, inventory, employee, and customer management. The POS app runs on iOS and Android devices; Back Office runs in a web browser. Staff can record sales, issue printed or electronic receipts, apply discounts, and process refunds. If the internet drops, sales can still be recorded and sync to Back Office when the connection returns.

The free plan includes core POS tools, loyalty, customer and kitchen displays, essential inventory, low-stock alerts, and sales reports covering the last 31 days. Loyverse also lists sales analytics for revenue, average sale, profit, trends, best-selling items, and sales history. Paid add-ons extend reporting, employee management, and inventory functions. That makes the headline offer simple: start with a free checkout system, then pay for specific extras as the business needs them.

The main draw is that the free plan covers more than checkout. It includes essential inventory and low-stock alerts, a loyalty program, and customer and kitchen displays, alongside reports for the last 31 days. For a small shop or food business that can work with those limits, the starting software cost is $0 per month.

Offline sales are another practical feature: Loyverse says transactions recorded without internet sync to Back Office when connectivity returns. The listed analytics include revenue, average sale, profit, sales trends, best-selling items, and sales history. Inventory tools also cover stock levels, supplier orders, and transfers between stores, though some deeper functions require a paid add-on.

User reports are mixed but offer useful context. One bar operator on Reddit said the system was intuitive to set up and handled tabs, table bills, and kitchen orders well. Another commenter valued being able to choose a payment processor and avoid proprietary hardware. Those are individual reports, not guarantees; check device and processor compatibility before switching.

The free plan’s clearest cap is reporting: it only includes the last 31 days. Unlimited sales history costs $5 per store per month, or $4.17 with annual billing. Employee management costs $5 per employee per month, or $4.17 annually. Advanced inventory costs $25 per store per month, or $20.83 annually. Annual billing is labeled as saving two months. Each paid add-on has a 14-day free trial.

Costs can therefore rise with the number of employees or stores, especially if you need staff permissions and hours tracking as well as deeper stock controls. The published pricing does not list payment-processing fees, so confirm those with the processor you plan to use rather than treating the free POS price as the full cost of taking payments.

Migration may also take preparation. In one Reddit thread, a grocery-store operator described entering more than 1,500 items manually before planning to upload a spreadsheet; commenters suggested reformatting and importing existing data. That account does not establish a general import limit, but it is a reason to check the import workflow before moving a large catalog.

Loyverse’s core POS is free. That plan includes sales reports for the last 31 days, essential inventory and low-stock alerts, a loyalty program, and customer and kitchen displays. Older reports and staff management are not included free.

Paid add-ons are priced separately, so costs can stack. Unlimited sales history costs $5 per store per month, or $4.17 per month with annual billing. Employee management is $5 per employee per month, or $4.17 annually. Advanced inventory is $25 per store per month, or $20.83 annually. For one store and one employee, staff management plus advanced inventory comes to $30 monthly, before any other add-on.

Annual billing is labeled as saving 2 months. Each paid add-on has a 14-day free trial. The sales-history add-on also includes report exports and 24/7 live chat support. Check the unit before budgeting: employee management is charged per employee; the other two add-ons are per store. The published starting price of $4.17 reflects annual billing for an add-on, not a paid all-in-one plan.

Loyverse’s POS runs on iOS and Android, while Back Office runs in a browser. The published product information does not say how to import products, customers, inventory, or historical sales from another POS, so migration effort is not published here. Before switching, ask Loyverse what can be imported and whether your current provider can export it in a usable format.

There is one specific export detail: the Unlimited sales history add-on includes sales report exports. That does not establish that you can export all customer, product, employee, or loyalty data, or that exports are available after you leave. Confirm those points before moving records or relying on the loyalty program.

We were not given Reddit posts or comments for this review, so we can’t attribute common reasons for leaving to Reddit users. The published material also does not document cancellation, data retention, or account-closure rules. Get those terms in writing, and check whether the free plan’s 31-day reporting limit fits your needs before switching.
