Odoo Point of Sale review

Odoo Point of Sale is the pick for a Philippine retailer that expects to run accounting, inventory and ecommerce on one system. On its own, the POS app is free forever with unlimited users under Odoo's One App Free plan. It works online and offline, handles loyalty cards, coupons, promotions, gift cards and an eWallet for refunds, and supports self ordering from a kiosk or a customer's phone. When you add more apps, such as Inventory, Accounting or eCommerce, you move to the Standard or Custom plan, which is priced per user per month, and you get click and collect between the web store and the shop. Odoo also has a separate restaurant app. The drawbacks for this list's audience are setup effort and compliance: Odoo's POS page does not mention BIR accreditation, so a business should confirm it with its implementation partner and RDO before issuing receipts.
