KORONA POS review

KORONA POS suits retailers who want inventory depth without being tied to a payment processor. Every plan is processing agnostic, month to month and free of setup fees, and the unlimited free trial needs no credit card. Core at $59 per terminal covers checkout, a product database, sales reports and gift cards, but the inventory work starts on Retail at $79, which adds inventory counts, real-time stock tracking, barcode automations, shelf labels, supplier ordering, customer management and custom promotions. Plus at $99 adds multi-location inventory tools, per-store pricing, store comparison and ABC and slow seller reports. KORONA also lists loyalty programs, CRM and email marketing, ID scanning and ecommerce integrations among its retail features, though the pricing table does not say which plan includes loyalty. Per-terminal pricing adds up quickly in stores with many registers, so count lanes before comparing it with per-location plans.

Who it is for

Independent and multi-store retailers that want to keep their own card processor and avoid contracts.
