About
Loyverse is a comprehensive, free point-of-sale and business management platform designed for small to medium-sized businesses including cafés, restaurants, retail shops, bars, and grocery stores. It transforms any iOS or Android smartphone or tablet into a powerful POS terminal, enabling merchants to process sales, issue receipts, apply discounts, and accept a wide variety of payment methods — even offline. Beyond checkout, Loyverse includes a robust Back Office dashboard accessible from any device, giving owners real-time visibility into revenue, profit, sales trends, and best-selling items. The inventory management module tracks stock levels in real time, sends low-stock alerts, manages supplier orders, and supports inter-store stock transfers with barcode label printing. Employee management features let staff clock in and out, track performance by employee, and enforce tiered access controls to protect sensitive data. The built-in CRM and loyalty program module helps businesses convert one-time buyers into repeat customers through reward points and purchase history tracking. For growing businesses, Loyverse supports unlimited multi-store management from a single account, allowing owners to compare store performance and centrally manage items, employees, and customers. Native integrations with accounting, ecommerce, inventory, and marketing apps extend its capabilities further. With support for 30+ languages and payment providers in 30+ countries, Loyverse is a globally accessible solution for businesses at any stage.
