THE LIQPOS DIFFERENCE

Empties and deposits, handled automatically

LIQPOS automates the full deposit and empties cycle so you never have to calculate it manually. Link a deposit to any product once, and LIQPOS adds it at the till the moment the item is sold. When a customer brings empties back, scan them in as a return and refund the deposit on the spot. Every deposit is tracked from goods receive through to your reports, so the money always balances.

  • Auto-charge deposits at the point of sale
  • Scan empties back for an instant, accurate refund
  • Full deposit tracking through goods receive and reports
EVERYTHING YOUR SHOP NEEDS

One system to run the whole store

From the till to the back office, LIQPOS replaces the patchwork of tools most liquor stores limp along with.

Fast, flexible till

LIQPOS rings up a sale from barcode scan to receipt in seconds. Take cash, card, EFT or split a payment across them. Three price tiers, account sales on credit, and printing to both thermal slips and A4 invoices.

Works offline

LIQPOS keeps you trading for a limited time even when the internet drops. Sales are saved on the device and sync automatically once you are back online. You can run more than one till at once.

Inventory and pricing

LIQPOS gives you a full product catalogue with pack sizes, three-tier pricing, GP% targets and tracking, and departments for beer, wine, spirits and more. See real-time stock levels and print shelf labels and price cards directly from the inventory screen.

Cash-up and reconciliation

LIQPOS closes the day with a proper denomination count and instant variance check. Day-end, month-end and year-end totals, plus cash drops, so you always know the till is right.

Stock control

LIQPOS handles the full back-office stock workflow: goods receive, stock orders to suppliers, stock counts, returns to supplier and stock adjustments, all in one place.

Specials and promotions

LIQPOS applies specials automatically at the till. Set percentage-off, fixed-price and other deals, and stop doing manual price overrides at the counter.

Reports that matter

LIQPOS gives you sales, stock levels, top movers, end-of-period summaries and a full audit trail. Know exactly what is selling, what is sitting, and what your margins look like.

Account customers and quotes

LIQPOS lets you run account (on-credit) customers, issue quotes, and raise credit notes, all linked cleanly to your sales and reporting.

INVENTORY & PRICING

Pricing and stock, under control

LIQPOS gives you a complete product catalogue built for the liquor trade. Build your items with pack sizes and barcodes, set three price tiers per product, and hold your margins with GP% targets you can track at a glance. Organise everything by department and watch stock levels move in real time as every sale and goods receive hits the system.

REPORTS & INSIGHT

See your whole business at a glance

LIQPOS reporting shows you every number that matters: sales trends, stock levels, top movers, end-of-period summaries and a complete audit trail. Reports export to Excel or PDF, and every totals view breaks sales down into excl VAT, VAT, and incl VAT columns so your figures are always ready for your accountant.

Built for South African liquor retailers

LIQPOS is purpose-built for independent bottle stores, liquor retailers, and multi-till liquor shops across South Africa. It consolidates the tools most shops run separately into one system.

Independent bottle stores

What is the best POS system for a liquor store or bottle store in South Africa?

LIQPOS is built from the ground up for South African liquor retailers. It handles the features that generic POS systems miss: automatic deposit and empties tracking. It runs in the browser so there is no software to install and no need for any server or data maintenance. Whether you run a small bottle store or a large wholesale operation, LIQPOS is designed to be approachable for everyone. Because it is browser-based, you can access it from any device, it is always up to date, and you never have to worry about servers or IT maintenance. There is nothing to install and nothing to set up on your hardware.

How long does it take to set up LIQPOS?

You can be set up and running in under 2 minutes. Start the 1-month free trial with no card required and no hassle. Because LIQPOS runs in the browser there is nothing to install, so you can start selling almost immediately. Onboarding is fast and easy.

Does LIQPOS work offline?

Yes, for a limited time. If your internet drops, LIQPOS keeps taking sales for a while by saving them on the device, then syncs them automatically once you are back online.

How many tills can I run at once?

You can run an unlimited number of tills on one subscription, at no extra cost. Each till operates independently and all sales are consolidated into your reports and cash-up.

Yes. LIQPOS calculates VAT on every sale and displays it separately on receipts and invoices. Reports break down totals into excl VAT, VAT, and incl VAT columns so your figures are always SARS-ready.

How do deposits and empties work?

You link a deposit to a product once. LIQPOS then charges the deposit automatically at the till, lets you scan empties back for an instant refund, and tracks every deposit through goods receive and your reports.

What hardware do I need, and does LIQPOS work on a tablet?

LIQPOS runs in any modern web browser, so it works on a desktop PC, laptop, or tablet. You can pair it with a standard USB barcode scanner and a thermal receipt printer. No proprietary hardware is required.

Where is my data stored, and is it backed up?

All your data is stored securely in the cloud, hosted in South Africa. Backups are handled automatically so you do not need to manage them yourself.

Does LIQPOS do barcode scanning and shelf labels?

Yes. LIQPOS supports barcode scanning at the till. You can also print shelf labels and price cards directly from the inventory screen.
