Retail POS programs: how to compare and choose yours

There are many retail POS programs and almost all promise the same. This page doesn't ask you to pick ours blindly: it explains what types exist, who each is for and which questions to ask, then tells you where TPV Pro fits and where it doesn't.

  • Honest comparison
  • When each option fits
  • Questions to choose well
  • No obligation
Comparison of retail POS programs
What it includes

Four ways to run a shop

Spreadsheet

Cheap and flexible, but manual and it scales badly.

Cash register

Charges well, but barely controls stock or connects to the web.

POS program

Charges, controls stock and reports; the middle ground for most.

ERP or full management

Covers everything, but heavy and costly for a small shop.

POS built into your website

TPV Pro's case: counter and online shop on the same system.

Custom service

Installation, training and support, as you need.

Quick guide

What sets some POS programs apart from others?

On the outside they look alike: a sales screen, a charge button. The real differences are in what you can't see: where the data lives, how stock updates, what happens if you change machine and how much depends on a single maker.

Closeness counts too. A powerful program with distant support can be worse for a small shop than a simpler one with someone on the phone. And total cost counts, not just the entry price: fees, per-station licences, proprietary consumables.

That said, let's be clear about what we offer: TPV Pro is made for small and medium shops that use or want to use PrestaShop. If you need a system for a chain of dozens of stores, you're probably looking for something else.

In practice

How to decide in one afternoon

A simple method to compare calmly.

Write down what you do

Charging, controlling stock, selling online, issuing receipts: what you truly use.

Discard what's extra

If a program offers a hundred features and you use five, you don't need it.

Ask for a demo

Better with your products than sample ones.

Compare total cost

At one year and three years, everything included.

What makes the difference

Without marrying a manufacturer

A question almost nobody asks when choosing is how to leave. If in three years you want to change program, can you take your products and sales with you? With a closed system, often you can't. With TPV Pro, your data sits in your PrestaShop store, which is yours.

That independence is part of what you're buying, even if it appears on no feature list.

Buying guide

Questions to ask any POS program

They work with ours and with any.

Where is my data?

If it isn't yours, you can't leave.

What do I pay each month?

Fees, licences and maintenance, in writing.

What hardware does it accept?

The more standard, the more freedom.

Is it ready for Verifactu?

Ask for a concrete answer, not a promise.

Who helps me?

Call before signing and see how they treat you.

For your business

Where TPV Pro fits

And where it may not be your best option.

  • Small and medium shops
  • Shops with or wanting PrestaShop
  • Those seeking a personal approach
  • Those wanting one catalogue
  • Those using the Kit Digital
  • Not for: large chains with their own ERP
We take care of everything

We leave it installed and ready to sell

You don't need to know anything about computers. We install and set up the system, build your online shop and teach you to use it without rushing, above all the POS, which is what you'll touch every day.

Verifactu and Kit Digital

Ready for Verifactu, and with help from the Kit Digital

TPV Pro is already ready for Verifactu, so you won't have to change system when it becomes mandatory. On top of that, the Kit Digital, an official Government grant with European funds, can pay for the software and the computer. We handle the application.

Reviews

What our customers say

Opinions from our customers: shops that already work with TPV Pro

  • Since we changed POS, everything is much faster and more agile, and a lot simpler. I'm glad we switched.

  • Whenever I call, they answer, and any problem I have is solved in no time.

    LaliLys&moda
  • This POS is great, it's very fast and they always sort out my problems when I call. I always find this kind of software hard to use, but this one I find very practical.

    Ninfa TattoosPiercings and Tattoos
  • It works perfectly. We installed the POS because we wanted it synchronised with our online shop and it works great. Implementing it was the right call.

    José RamónJoyería Lomar
  • This POS is much faster and more effective than the previous one. It lets me sync products and orders with PrestaShop and export the results for my accountant. It's very easy and quick.

Questions about retail POS programs

It depends on your case. For a small shop with a website, one integrated into your store avoids duplicating data. We help you decide even if it isn't ours.

To start, yes. With several employees, real stock and online sales, it falls short and causes errors.

An ERP covers more, but costs more and complicates. For many small shops it's too much.

No. We install and set it up and then train you, above all on the POS, until you feel comfortable. If a question comes up, call us or write on WhatsApp.

Tell us your case and we'll show how it would work with your kind of products, no obligation.

Yes. TPV Pro works with your PrestaShop shop, so the catalogue and stock are the same at the counter and online. If you don't have an online shop yet, we design it for you.

Yes. TPV Pro is already ready for Verifactu, so you won't have to change system when it becomes mandatory.

The Kit Digital is an official grant that can cover the software and the computer. We handle the application; we only need your authorisation. Subject to approval and conditions.
