Retail POS software features
Software for the work around every retail sale.
A retail POS should help the person serving the customer and the person responsible for products, stock, staff, and store performance. RetailGrid keeps those responsibilities in the same operating system.
Point of sale
Product and category browsing, cart handling, customer selection, payment allocation, receipts, refunds, and transaction history.
Products and inventory
Product records, categories, brands, suppliers, stock status, goods-in, transfers, and product reporting.
Customers and loyalty
Customer profiles, lookup, purchase context, VIP-style segments, and loyalty-ready store workflows.
Stores and terminals
Store codes, terminals, registers, users, and local operating context for one or more locations.
Staff permissions
Match user access and responsibilities to the store, terminal, and work each team member performs.
Retail reporting
Review sales, transactions, products, customers, stores, goods-in, transfers, and till closeout activity.
From product record to completed sale
Keep the catalogue, stock, and checkout connected.
The value of retail POS software appears between transactions: maintaining clean product data, knowing where stock sits, receiving and transferring goods, controlling staff access, and understanding what happened during the day.
1. Maintain the retail catalogue
Organise products using the categories, brands, suppliers, pricing, and stock context staff need.
2. Sell from the same product data
Let operators browse or find products, build the cart, select a customer, and complete checkout.
3. Review and act
Use transaction, product, customer, store, goods-in, transfer, and closeout reporting to understand daily activity.
POS software or payment terminal?
Know which part of the retail stack you are comparing.
A payment terminal processes a payment. Retail POS software manages the sale and the operating context around it. Many retailers need both, but they solve different jobs.
Retail POS software

- • Products, prices, categories, customers, and cart.

Payment terminal
Handles the card payment step.

Australian POS Buying Guide
What should an Australian retailer compare?
The right POS software is more than a simple card terminal. It should help staff complete sales quickly while giving owners dependable control over products, stock, staff, and multi-store performance.
| Area to compare | Questions to ask | RetailGrid capability |
|---|---|---|
| Checkout | Can staff find products, update a cart, take payment, and review transactions without changing systems? | Product and category browsing, cart handling, payment allocation, receipts, refunds, and transaction history. |
| Inventory | Does a sale remain connected to products, stock status, receiving, and transfers? | Products, categories, brands, suppliers, stock visibility, goods-in, store transfers, and stock reporting. |
| Customers | Can staff find a customer and understand their relationship with the business at the counter? | Customer profiles, lookup, purchase context, VIP-style segments, and loyalty-ready workflows. |
| People and controls | Can access be matched to a staff member, terminal, store, and responsibility? | Store users, roles, staff permissions, terminals, registers, and till closeout workflows. |
| Multiple locations | Will the system still make sense after a second store, branch, or franchise location opens? | Shared retail operations with store-level context, stock movement, user access, transactions, and management reporting. |
| Australian payments | Can you integrate your choice of Australian EFTPOS without forced transaction markups? | Supports Tyro and Linkly EFTPOS integration plus standalone terminals with Least-Cost Routing. |
| Rollout and support | Who will help with setup, product data, staff access, and the move from the current POS? | A scoped demo and rollout conversation based on locations, registers, products, onboarding, and local Sydney phone support. |
