Oliver POS vs OpenPOS

Oliver POS vs OpenPOS

WooCommerce-native POS comparison: production-grade vs feature-stuffed plugin.

Tingnan ang Oliver POSPagpepresyo

Ang maikling bersyon

OpenPOS is a WooCommerce POS plugin sold on CodeCanyon. It has a long feature list and a low entry price, which makes it tempting for cost-sensitive merchants. The trade-off is the operating model: OpenPOS is a single-developer plugin with no dedicated support team, no native mobile apps, and a UX that shows the years of feature-by-feature additions. Oliver POS is the alternative for merchants who need a production-grade WooCommerce POS — built and maintained by a 30+ person team with iOS and Android apps, integrated payments, and 24/7 support.

Pinakamainam para sa

Hobbyists, developers building proof-of-concept setups, or shops that need every possible feature toggle and don't mind the rough edges.

Hindi gaanong angkop para sa

Staffed retail, multi-outlet operations, or any merchant who needs reliable support and polished mobile apps.

Pagpepresyo

OpenPOS is sold on CodeCanyon as a one-time purchase plus optional renewals for support. Oliver is $49/year flat with optional lifetime licences from $119 one-time.

Mga madalas itanong

OpenPOS is cheaper up front — why pay more for Oliver?
OpenPOS's one-time CodeCanyon price doesn't include the cost of running a POS with limited support and no mobile apps. A single missed sale because the browser crashed on a Friday night easily costs more than a year of Oliver. If your business depends on the register working, you want a maintained product with a team behind it.
Can I migrate from OpenPOS to Oliver?
Yes. Both plugins read from the same WooCommerce database, so the migration is essentially: deactivate OpenPOS, install Oliver POS, set up your hardware. Your WooCommerce products, customers, orders, and historical sales data are untouched.
Does Oliver have feature parity with OpenPOS?
On the features merchants actually use — register, payments, inventory, reports, refunds, staff, hardware support — yes, and Oliver does them better. OpenPOS has more obscure toggles built up over years of feature requests; Oliver focuses on the core retail workflow and ships it polished. If your specific use case depends on an OpenPOS toggle, write us before you switch and we'll tell you honestly whether Oliver covers it.
What about hardware? Does Oliver support what OpenPOS supports?
Oliver supports the full Stripe Terminal lineup (S700, WisePOS E, WisePad 3, Reader M2), Sunmi smart POS devices, Star Micronics receipt printers (Bluetooth and LAN), Honeywell and Zebra barcode scanners, cash drawers, and customer-facing displays. We test each device in our QA lab. OpenPOS's hardware support is documentation-driven rather than tested — your mileage will vary.
