Comments: A1 Analytics has a wide variety of data science clients, and this POS project was a bit unusual for us, but we also have expertise in a wide variety of SFA/CRM systems. As it turns out Loyverse and other POS systems are remarkably similar to SFA/CRM hosted systems, so POS projects are very easy for us. Loyverse has outstnading live customer support, a community board, and videos, so we actually enjoyed implementing this for a restaurant chain.
Loyverse POS software includes basic point of sale features, categorized by sales functions, back office functions, and kitchen functions. You’ll also have the option of displaying purchase information to your customers at the point of sale. Loyverse will list every item with any relevant details, such as taxes, discounts or coupons,. Loyverse Back Office Back office in your browser, working in sync with Loyverse POS Analyze your sales, determine top-selling items, browse the history of your transactions. Build your customer base and send notifications to your customers. Act on feedback from your customers and strengthen your relationships with them.
They are delighted with the results, and it may open the door to other POS implementations for Loyverse. Based on our experience, we do not recommend that any restaurant with over 10 products or 10 tables attempt this on their own because in order to set up taxes, tips, tables, employees, roles, costs, cash prices, credit card prices, and multiple employees and devices, it's better left to a talented POS consultant.We expect that there will be A LOT of consolidation in the POS market and we view Loyverse as a category killer. Comments: Great system for FREE.
It may have its kinks but you can only expect so much from a free program. Oh and also, Customer Service is super responsive and helpful which made the use experience much more pleasant.Pros: The fact that this software is free is the major selling point. It has all the features you would want as a POS system and creates a great platform for loyalty programs for your customers. The live updating stock feature is another plus and has come in handy in my multiple projects. Works great with retail and I've just begun to implement this in a cafe. It syncs of easily with my receipt printer.
All this for FREECons: As with other software, it can be overwhelming with the amount of features this application comes with. One of my least favorite issues was with updating the stock. I wish they had a more streamlined stock updating system.
I often found myself with duplicates in my stock list which was throwing me off at the end of the month counting sales. However, this might just be a user error I have yet to sort out.
Comments: I tried so-called 'free' POS software before. There was one that was actually good, so I ended up buying it (it was very cheap). In time, though, I ended up going back to printed inventories and sales records.Then, browsing, I found Loyverse POS.
I was immediately assisted by their support staff, who answered ALL my questions and, within an hour, I had everything set up to cover my business' needs: PC management, PC-based Android emulation for a POS terminal dedicated to wholesale customers, and a n Android smart-phone based POS for retail. Loading my inventories was very simple, using an excel spreadsheet and importing the data.
Re-arranging the data to better suit my needs was easy and intuitive. The staff are a click away to support you round the clock. Updates are constant, without being annoying, and always add welcome features. It can be tailored to different types of businesses, such as restaurants, retail, etc.
And, best of all, it really, REALLY is 100% free. Go ahead, try it. You can thank me later. =)Pros: It can be tailored to suit your specific needs.You have a team of highly qualified people to help and support you 24-7.It is 100% FREE.
No hidden fees, no funny business.Constant updates, but not too often.Customer support is top-notch. Yes, I listed this twice, because it's THAT good!Cons: Since it is a work in progress, some features have not been implemented yet, but they are working on them.Recommendations to other buyers: Give this software a chance. You will not be disappointed. Especially when it's 100% free. Many of the companies that actually charge for POS software have A LOT to learn from Loyverse. Comments: I highly recommend using this on IPads.
Only Apple OS has the ability to lock their tablet to just one app (guided access). Android based tablets do not have this feature.Pros: Easy to setup items to sell. The app can be used on either the Apple iPad or on Android base tablets. However stick with the Apple iPad because of the guide access feature is found only on Apple's OS. It easy to train rotating cashiers on this system. I do like the ability to split checks.Cons: Not a true inventory if you are looking to see past and on-going stock. The system allows you to sell with negative inventory.As with graphic based display too much items can be overwhelming.
Best for business with no more than 2 dozen items otherwise you will be spending too long of a time scrolling through pages to find the item. It's is nice that it has categories but that also take some time as well.
When items are out of stock, system should give the owner the option to hid the item until it is restocked. There is no warning given and shown when stock is low or completely out to the cashier. Only an email is sent indicating a low stock.There is no capabilities of sorting the displayed item or separating into groups visually.
It's all done alphabetically.I am completely confused on the sales history in the back office. Sales by payment and sales summery don't match.
The data sync is slow. It may take a few hours after the close of the day before all the sales are synced and shown in the back office. When using discounts and promotions the totals don't necessarily add up correctly.
I am still trying to figure out why that is. Pros: Its soooooo easy to use and also secure, I would say its fool proof!
Comments: Overall I think this is a great service, especially since it's free! To have this many options available for a free service blows me away. I hope the can optimize the Loyalty system to be something other than making the customer download the app. It just didn't make sense for customers to download this app for only my shop as nobody else around her uses this system.Pros: Service is FREE, Customer Service is always quick to reply and able to answer all my questions, easy to update stock system, clean and neat UI, learning curve not too high.Cons: The only cons are for things that would usually have to be paid for. No currency converter, no option for multiple currencies, difficult to implement the Loyalty part for customers. Comments: I am a 40-year veteran of the IT business and I've seen and done it all.
My wife runs a fudge business and is now selling retail so she needs a portable POS system that's fast, easy and comprehensive.she's not a computer genius. After looking at several offerings both free and paid and being very disappointed with the lack of insight and the quality of design I considered developing one myself (about 3-5 days work.no big deal).
Then I stumbled upon Loyverse and thought I'd try just one more.BINGO!Just exactly what I had in mind.in fact it matched my Excel prototype almost exactly. I completely setup my wifes store in less than 15 minutes, record time even for me. And even on a Saturday (for me) my very few questions were answered immediately and completely.While the app is free I'm told they'll be adding some new features and services in the near future. As it stands right now I have everything I need.but with this kind of quality and level of customer service I intend to very seriously consider their new offerings and will even consider modifying the business model if they come up with something that will enhance sales and/or service.Pros: VERY easy to setup and use.Cons: Nothing at this time.Recommendations to other buyers: It's worth 10 minutes of your time to explore this app. Pros: Best Support TeamHas back officeCan have multi-POS and employee shiftsFree as of the momentUser FriendlyContinuously Developing (and you can be a part of it)Cons: some reports and options are not yet available because they are still under developmentOverall: Me and my girlfriend started a small merchandise business selling apparels, accessories and school supplies. I was looking for an app that will serve as a POS and inventory manager at the minimum and will help lessen the use of paper and MSExcel.
During my search in the AppStore, i bumped in with Loyverse and some other POS apps. Easily i chose Loyverse because it is visually appealing, modern and chic, and very user-friendly. We started using it on test and found that all the basic things that i need are present in this app. The support system is great, you can chat directly to the developer who doesn't sleep! All my queries are answered immediately. They are continuously developing the app and adding features which is very exciting.I am recommending everyone who needs POS to use this, it has a lot to offer. Pros: Online sync of reports and an alternate customer app that allows them to leave a feedback and discount point systemCons: Haven't found any yetOverall: Very flexible, more than a POS system this manages everything you may wish for from customer interaction/feedback/discounts/points system, stocks, prices, online reporting, even goes as far as online sync of reports.
This works on Android iOS even Windows(via browser)! If you have or you are planning a small to medium scale business this app is more than you can ever wish for. And the greatest thing of all these feature? ITS FREE!Recommendations to other buyers: Use it, makes your reporting and POS needs very easy. Pros: simple & easy to set up.Cons: 1.
The inventory report is not available. The entered cost was only to show how much margin we could make for each product. I'm comparing with Vendhq POS system2.
The inventory does not link with the sales. Meaning I can accidentally sell a product which was not available in my stock, hope the system can do auto detect features.we should not be able to sale any product that is not available in our store or not updated in the inventory.3. Desktop features is not available. A desktop features is good to easily link the system with any printer and not limited to only certain thermal printer. In my business, we need to print a standard fullsize receipt/invoices.Overall: The Loyverse POS system is a great mobile POS.the set up is simple and the best thing is the system is absolutely FREE. Pros: First things, It's totally free! And It's useful, UI is friendly, easy to use, verifiable, flexible, relevant, accessible.
It have Loyalty System.Cons: It doesn't have Thai Language. But, I've decide to contribute this service as a Translator (Thai Translator). Because I'm Thai, We love free service! (LOL).Overall: I have been finding Free POS for my micro business at home, And all of it need to pay for full function or just trial for just a week.
But they call it's 'FREE'.(In Thai) 2 days before I try this service, I've use Free POS software for a month, And it's expire without rhyme or reason. I lost all of my data such a Sales, Products, Inventory, Customers List, etc. I can't access to database (MS Access) because it protected with password and encryption.
Since that day, I've found Loyverse. I've just try this service and then I love it!Recommendations to other buyers: Let's try it first! You'll love it! Pros: Convenience of doing sales and tracking your money flow and inventories with ease. I can base business decisions based on data gathered.Overall: This apps is so amazing! The convenience of not manually counting your money and your inventory items everytime there is a purchase made my selling of call cards easier.
Also I can track my sales and profit and inventories with ease. I am also amazed at the inclusion of customers in the system which empowers me on adjusting my way of business and to keep my customers on coming back by creating a culture of communication and not just selling items. The customer service is great! They answer my querries in as instant. In the future if my business will grow, I will make this app part of my growing business and will exploit all of its features and functionality.
I will definitely refer this app to my family and friends. Thank you for letting me use your app for free. Pros: Easy to use, customisable, freeCons: At times it might take a bit of delay to see saved changesOverall: Loyverse is a GREAT TOOL to assist startup business owners that would need a helpful POS app but do not have the capability to pay monthly costs offered by other services.
It is a risk-free app to try out and sort first whether would function directly to what the business needs - and LOYVERSE POS is PERFECT for our kind of business. Looking forward to future development!Recommendations to other buyers: At first I was hesitant to use free apps because as per experience usually those that are FREE to download would be trial version which expires after some time then you have to pay hefty monthly subscription fees.
Looking forward for development such as ability to design the cafe layout for tables so as to monitor which table the orders are for - and a backend e-docket so the kitchen can have a monitor for any orders that are pending. Pros: Great overall product with potential to be at par with more costly POS systems. Mobile function is a huge advantage. Superb customer supportCons: Can sell with negative inventory.
Can't use mobile cam to scan items. Needs option to use Categories in home POS screen instead of individual items which require too much searching. No facility for sales on account. Eg purchase for later payment. Needs units esp in inventory lists.Overall: Great value for money though some oversights could rob it of its true place as an all round retail solution. Pros: +Scan QR Code+Payment notes+Email the receiptCons: +Closing Report cannot see on app+If I pun Actual amount of cash less than the amount of Expected amount of cash, spread will show negative amount of Actual amount of cash. I guess it should be extra or loss amount.+On Ipad I cannot see any save any open ticket+On Ipad I cannot add any printers+On Ipad discount cannot see+Both Ipad n Android when choose payment 'Card' should key in credit card's numberOverall: First time i sign in this app, it really straight to the point how to use it.
Easy to understand.Recommendations to other buyers: +It's really useful for startup business i mean small business.+For open ticket, if customer deposit half of the actual price and give another amount on next day, still got record for deposit dan full payment. Comments: I was looking for a simple, easy to implement POS for my small hotel / restaurant.
I was able to get this up and running in less than 2 hours. Anytime I hit a roadblock I messaged support and they were back to me in minutes with solutions. It isn't a full on complicated system with all the bells and whistles. I have worked with those and they have their uses, but if you need a way to track shifts, categories, some inventory management and certainly cash management this is the system for you.Pros: Very logical, easy to use, easy to set up and great supportCons: Eventually it would be nice to have better inventory management and shift management from the perspective of tracking staff hours for payroll.Recommendations to other buyers: Try it. It won't take long for you to figure out whether it suits your needs. Comments: We are searching for POS to use with our small business. Many POS programs available.
But finally, we short list the POS programs to try and evaluate. We found Loyverse is far beyond other in term of ease of use and flexible enough to match our business requirement. We very happy with Loyvese POS.Pros: Flexible categories/itemsCan shared an ethernet printer between POS/tablets.Very low investment cost compare to PC based POS.Cons: Mostly you can use this POS for your business. There are just some points that may seem inconvenience but it still can use it. The program don't have the pre-config button for suggested amount like 100, 500, 1000.
But still you can enter amount manually (previous version had). Pros: everything, honestly! The fact that they dont have sub categories bothers me, but i talked to customer support and she replied almost immediately. Told me they are working on it and it's coming soon, If only there was a way for me to donate so they can progress faster!Cons: NothingOverall: I was recently using Square Up for the past 2 years for my Brick & Mortar location. Until yesterday i've discovered loyverse and I can not say how much this POS is going to change our store. Highly recommended for any retail businesses!
Wish I can donate or support these guys so they grow faster!Recommendations to other buyers: Make sure to talk to support for help, and check out there help & guidelines on how to set everything up. They also have youtube tutorials. Pros: I like the most is that it allows me to manage the transactions of buying and selling my new business from a smartphone, besides that I can manage the inventory and visualize the analysis of my sales.Cons: I like the least has nothing to do with software, the only drawback I had is that at first my phone was not compatible with the software version, but then I can use it in a fluid way.Overall: The benefits are multiple: I can make quick and easy sales, I manage my inventory program and everything from my smartphone or tablet. I can also create a customer base and keep in touch with them. I can send messages and receive emails from my clients and collect their valuable comments. Comments: Overall it's a great pos system and it takes customer loyalty to a whole new level.
We have kept in contact with our customers and they've with us through this!Pros: The secret to every retails continued success is its customer loyalty base and we have been looking forever for something like this! Other POS systems do have some form or another of customer loyalty integrated but this one specializes at it!Cons: It's great at what it's great but are humble in what they're trying out. I feel the diversity in inventory stock could be expanded and personalization of edits on the receipts and custom additions could be made easier. Comments: I am enjoying the layout of both the POS and online service. It does take some time setting up but I believe it will cut off wasted hours on excel and tracking inventory. I would highly recommend for any small business owner, like myself. For being free it continues to surprise me and they continue to update.
This works best for me because I don't have the finance at the moment for an expensive POS solution and I'm super happy with what they have here, being free!Pros: Clean design, great support service, its FREE!Cons: Can take a bit of time to try to learn, no multicurrencyRecommendations to other buyers: If you're a small business owner looking for an easier POS solution you're in the right place! FREE POS solution like this shouldn't be turned down if your tight on your budget. Pros: Easy to use, free, no extra hardware required for basic setup and use.
Multiple functionality: sales, web integration, monitoring, employee check in, etcCons: Don't know if this is a con, but you really need internet connectivity to appreciate this app to the fullestOverall: Very easy to install and integrate with my existing android devices. No need to pay premium for hardware. Setup was a breeze and when I could not figure out anything customer service was very fast and helpfulRecommendations to other buyers: Definitely a must have for new start ups and small businesses.
Customer service is really good, make sure you use it if you can't figure things out before you get frustrated. Watch the tutorials too, they literally walk you through. Pros: Its simple and easy to set up and use.Cons: Nothing really. The option to print the receipt before charging and adding your logo to the receipt but I'm sure these options will come in time.Overall: The Loyverse app is really great. I had a few issues with getting it to work with Stars mPop but the great team at Loyverse managed to get it working. Its still not perfect but it works! I can't wait for more updates to come.
I have a few suggestions such as being able to print the receipt before charging it as Bars, Cafe's and Restaurant's require this function to take the bill to a table before making payment. The option to add your logo to the receipt would also be beneficial. Thank youRecommendations to other buyers: The option to change colors of the app.
Pros: Easy to useClear directionsMultiple devices can log on (I have mines on my phone and also on my tablet)Doing a refund is super easy.Printing receipts is an optionYou can create your own customer loyalty programCons: Nothing. Except I wish i found it before!Overall: Having Loyverse POS has changed the way I process everything. From data entry, to sales, to inventory.
I can export to excel and update the entire inventory then import it back to the program and its all done. The fact that you can encourage your customers to go green by not printing receipts is fantastic! You get a full report of your daily and weekly sales plus you can monitor your inventory levels. Comments: We are testing out this POS and also comparing it GUI to other market brands.We like the clean look and the easy functionality once it is setup for the staff.Pros: I can tell Loyverse team has put loads of effort into getting it right and getting it simple and easy to use. Job well done.Cons: At the moment, Loyverse is still developing and also integrating with other functionality to make the s/w a fool proof approach to POS. If their development continues the same direction and listen to users, I am sure this POS will be one day the market leader.Recommendations to other buyers: Be patient and do try it out and compare to others POS. You will find it amusing.
Pros: I tried a few different iPad based POS systems when opening my Cafe, but settled on Loyverse as their features actually beat a lot of the paid systems out there, and it's free! Would definitely recommend trying out Loyverse first before settling on another system. Just because it's free doesn't mean it's not a serious contender.Cons: Local payment terminal integration is lacking and cash up process could be built upon. However it more than makes up for this with the price tag (or lack thereof) and its array of features.
Comments: I am starting a new business, and space is going to be limited. I wanted a POS option that would run on my iPad rather than having to install a complete till / PC setup. I have been trying out Loyverse POS and can honestly say that it is a great piece of software. It does almost everything that i want, and is extremely easy to set up and use.
The loyalty card app is a brilliant idea and works like a treat!Pros: Loyalty card app, ease of setup and useCons: Could do with a few more financial options, and maybe allow more customer information to be gatheredRecommendations to other buyers: Give it a try, for most small to medium retail businesses im sure it will do the job. Comments: I reviewed this application in June 2016, it was lacking too much functionalty for me to consider it. I took a 2nd look at it in October 2016 and I must say I was impressed with how much development was done. This team seems committed at developping this application to become a serious contender. Considering it is free, it is easy to deploy and requires no installation, it is quite a sexy offering.Pros: Free, no installation, no infrastructure, easy to deploy, easy to use, good supportCons: limited functionality when compared to full fledged POS (like open source software)Recommendations to other buyers: Take a serious look at it, see if it fits your needs.
Comments: This app has helped my business sell products and track sales way more efficiently then any other app I have tried. I use Loyverse for events and it saves me a great deal of effort and time when I have a sale or to send a receipt. Try it and you will not be disappointed.Pros: Track sales and inventory. Make sales with a poke of your phone or device.
Customer support is quick and very helpful. You can set a photo as a product icon. Color coded, shape coded.Cons: Only thing I can think of is currently no check option, just cash and credit. But honestly that's not a big dealRecommendations to other buyers: Try it. Comments: It is very easy to use and carry the key features for an immediate and efficiante use in small business.Pros: I realy enjoy the back office and the loyalty program.Also your agile growing in terme of functionalities is juste empowering us and the way we can enable desable them is very important as far as i am concerned, to not desturb habits:)Recommendations to other buyers: otherwise, i am looking for 2 other features:- viewing an order from differents pos station, espacialy useful if a station crash or for managing queues- A screen for ketchen, coctel bar, ice cream bar.etc. Pros: Price: ITS FREE!Functionality - it does almost everything that I need in a mobile POS system.Cons: No card payment integrations - PayPal Now / iZettle both offer API to use.
I currently have to process the transaction, and then switch to card app manually and re-enter the amount.Overall: I have had very few issues with the deployment of Loyverse for our company POS system. We use Android and iOS phones and tablets linked over wifi to our receipt printer.The only things I have not been able to do is add a logo to our receipt, and have a category view on the smaller phone devices - which is a shame because on the smaller devices is where you really need it.Other than that it does everything we need, and I can't give less than five stars for software that works and is Free!Recommendations to other buyers: If you have any issues with the software, or are stuck with setup. Contact the developer through their live-chat system. They are really quick to respond and have always resolved my issue quickly. Comments: Several traders within our market use Loyverse POS and its really helped them to keep a better record of sales and stock especially in a cash only buisness without the cost of an expensive POS, which would put a financial strain on their businessPros: Quick to learn, easy to use and great simple interface to choose items. You can also check sales on the go if you happen to have to leave.Cons: Can only divide stock by item or weight and not volume, which is hard when selling by the glass and bottle.
Pros: This app has full of useful functions. And its FREE!Cons: Need internet before you can use it.Overall: Loyverse is very easy to use. It met my requirements in terms of sales and inventory. One great function is the low stock email alert to keep me updated. The support os very real-time and accommodating.
Really love this app! Good for everyone's business.Recommendations to other buyers: Internet connectivity is not stable. This will hinder theboperation of this app when goes offline. I hope it can have a offline function and sync when online to keep store operations running.
Pros: Good Design, Easy controls, Intuitive, Fast and responsive. Awesome customer support. Overall its FREE!Cons: The disability to upload pictures in mass. The only downside is certain functions is there but not highlighted properly.Overall: Sleek and easy. The POS you will ever need if you want to upgrade into a visual cash register. Its Awesome!Recommendations to other buyers: I have tried so many FREE POS softwares, and this one stopped me from looking onwards. This one ended my search for a system that I could implement.
Pros: I really enjoy that the app is easy to use. Other POS apps didn't allow to have a variable price, which bugged me, but this one does! I also like that each employee can have an account, and that we can track our sales. It seems like it will work very well for a while.
I like that we have the ability to discount items, and give refunds. Overall, this app makes transactions a breeze.Cons: The one thing that would be nice is if it had offline functionality.Overall: This app is great!
I have tried many other POS apps, but this one overall is the best! It has many more features than others, and its easy to use!
I really appreciate the simplicity. It works fine overall, and my staff loves it! Some of my staff members don't work well with technology, but this app isn't a problem for them.Recommendations to other buyers: Never forget to offer the emailed receipt. Pros: Kitchen DisplayTable ServiceCons: NothingOverall: We here at Rivera's Coffee have tried many pos programs, they all lacked one part KDS, or Table service, No reports.Loyverse Brings every part of Point of Sale together into one smooth operation.Rivera's Coffee has two Kitchens and Grill Area, with three Dinning AreasTerrace, Outside, and main Dinning room.The table service with android Tablets, no more printed menus.Thank You Loyversefrom Richard and Dina.Rivera's CoffeeRuiz,Nayarit, Mexico. Pros: Its cloud base, but you can use it off-line. Its really easy to set-up. Its very easy to set-up and useCons: Its free but I dont know for how long.
I am investing a lot of time into the appOverall: At 1st the app seems basic, but once you get into it you discover that Loyverse has really thought of everything. The best thing of this app is not that it is free but the fact that their online support is fantastic.Recommendations to other buyers: Watch all their tutorials on youtube before you start. Pros: The option for open tabs.
The ease of imputting new items. How simple and fast it is to use. And how in depth the back office is.Cons: Sometimes, the program deletes open tabs.Overall: Seriously, this is the best POS system I have found within the Google Play store. It literally does everything that I need and want.
Love how easy it is to use and customize. Thank you for making such an amazing product accessible!!!Recommendations to other buyers: Keep up the great work. I love what you have created! Pros: User friendly, allows all owners to check on sales, freeCons: Nothing to complain about so farOverall: We love the simplicity & that it allows all owners to view from their devices at any one time. We love that we can access it using any of our Handphone/ tabs.Recommendations to other buyers: We love that it is free. We wouldn't mind if it had cost a small fee. Our F&B establishment is a small one, and we're just starting out.
We didn't have the budget to get an expensive POS system. This is a great app. Comments: The app is easy to use.
I tried it both in my iphone and Samsung phone, also in my desktop. Very easy to use. Very easy to import your list of menu to your app and the interface is very user-friendly. The best thing, it's FREE! What more can you ask for?!Pros: User-friendly, fast, and excellent live chat support.Cons: They are adding paid-for services and modules in the future. Bummer!Recommendations to other buyers: Try it for yourself, especially for those small business owners like me.
Pros: It's easy, efficient, and free.Cons: So far I have found none.Overall: Loyverse is a POS system that anyone can use. The features are great, the graphics are excellent, and most of all the customer service is blazing fast and extremely helpful. When Square goes down, there will be no one to help you. Any small business should use Loyverse, any business at all for that matter. Oh yeah, it's free.Recommendations to other buyers: Add a category tab along with favorites and all items.
It’s quick and simple to on your mobile device. However, if you do this, you can have access to more features for the item.Go to the 'Item list' menu.In the Item list, click the ‘Add item’ button.In the ‘Create item’ form, fill in the item ‘Name’ and choose the ‘Category’.If you deselect the checkbox, ‘The item is available for sale’ it will not be seen in the items list in Loyverse POS on a mobile device. This usually needed for components.Whether an item is sold by piece (bottle, package, etc.) or (pound, kilogram, etc.), it is determined by the ‘Sold by’ option.Fill in the ‘Price’ field with the selling price of your product. When you fill in the cost, later you can get useful reports about your profit, margin etc.The field SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) is required. It is filled in automatically. However, you can indicate your own SKU. The main requirement is that the number must not be repeated in other items and should not exceed 40 characters.
