WCPOS
By WCPOS
Best for: Stores that want a free register with real offline resilience and thermal printing, and Stripe Terminal or SumUp readers when they upgrade.
Overview
WCPOS (formerly WooCommerce POS by kilbot) is the most actively developed free register for WooCommerce. The free plugin has no transaction fees or per-register charges and includes barcode scanning, a receipt and invoice template gallery with thermal printing over USB, Bluetooth or network, cash and manual card payments, and local product caching so search stays fast and carts survive a dropped connection. Pro adds any WooCommerce gateway at the register, integrated Stripe Terminal and SumUp card readers, multiple stores with their own tax and pricing, stock adjustments and customer editing.
