Odoo Point of Sale (POS) Services

Odoo POS covers both, but they're configured differently. Retail focuses on barcodes, pricelists, weighed products, serial numbers and returns. Restaurant mode adds floor plans and tables, orders sent to kitchen printers or a preparation display, bill splitting, tips and self-ordering from a QR code or kiosk.

Businesses that do both — a café inside a shop, or a producer with its own outlets — can run separate POS configurations on one database. Food businesses with a central kitchen can also link POS demand to Odoo Manufacturing.

Some devices, such as network receipt printers, connect to Odoo POS directly. Others — scales, some scanners, customer displays or self-ordering kiosks — connect through Odoo's IoT box, which links local hardware to the POS. We confirm each device against the Odoo version you're running before anything is bought.

Integrated card payments depend on a terminal provider supported by Odoo in your country, so this is worth deciding early. We test the whole setup in the actual store, including receipts, refunds and weak Wi-Fi spots, before the pilot starts.

• Receipt & kitchen printers
• Barcode scanners & scales
• Cash drawers & customer displays
• Integrated payment terminals

Odoo POS loads products and prices into the browser when a session opens, so tills can keep taking orders through a short connection drop and send them to the server once it returns. That protects trading, but it isn't a reason to skimp on the network: integrated card payments, invoices and anything that needs fresh server data still rely on a connection. We plan network and fallback payment methods with you.

Odoo's loyalty features handle points programmes, coupons, gift cards, eWallets, buy-X-get-Y offers and promotion codes, and the same programmes can apply in your Odoo online shop. Pricelists can vary by shop, customer group or period.

The risk is complexity: overlapping promotions confuse staff and customers, and discounts without access controls erode margin. We design a small set of clear rules and limit who can override prices at the till.

Each POS is linked to a warehouse, so sales reduce stock in the right location, and each payment method maps to an accounting journal. Closing a session posts sales and payments to Odoo Accounting and compares counted cash with expected cash, so differences are spotted the same day.

With Odoo eCommerce, shops and website share products, customers, stock and loyalty. If you sell on Shopify or Magento, we integrate the store with Odoo so stock and orders stay in step across every channel.

The main factors are the number of locations and tills, retail versus restaurant features, the hardware and payment providers involved, the complexity of loyalty and pricing rules, products, customers or gift card balances to migrate, and integrations with other channels. Odoo licence costs are separate from implementation.
