What is a POS system with online store?
These are POS systems where it is possible to sell the goods online as well. This is possible with digital POS systems that provide you with an interface to various online store providers or an open API interface for your own programming. Digital or cloud cash register systems are basically modern cash registers that have many more options and come with some extras. As a rule, these POS systems run on a tablet basis and are much more handy, smarter and flexible to use. The option of equipping the POS system with an online store opens up a whole new range of possibilities for retailers to sell goods via several channels at the same time. This offers considerable added value for customers, so that your sales will experience a huge increase within a very short time. You can find out which online store is right for you in an informative consultation with one of our consultants.
The Cloud Checkout System - LocaFox Edition
With LocaFox, you are provided with an Android-based tablet. The LocaFox software is installed on this tablet, which later serves as your cash register. In addition to the tablet, the basic equipment of the POS system also includes a receipt printer and a cash drawer from ANKER. If desired, you can expand your POS system with additional accessories, such as a label printer, a hand scanner, a tablet holder and much more. Of course, we are also available to advise you on the choice of a suitable card terminal. Thus, you have the same options as with a stationary cash register, which, however, is more space-saving and well suited for smaller sales areas. If you need several cash registers for your store, they can also be linked together.
BUY NOWFunctionality and field of application of the cash register software
Basically, it can be said that the tablet POS systems give retailers much more possibilities than the standard cash registers. Especially in the creation and management of products, the backup of data, the provision of statistics and analysis of business figures.
You are well equipped for any challenges. You can choose from various functional packages that you need for your business. If your needs change over time, you can also adapt the functionality of the software.
Another advantage of POS systems with an online store is that you have another sales channel to sell your goods.
In addition, you have completely new marketing methods to draw attention to your products. For example, you can send online newsletters to your customers and thus provide information about products or draw attention to promotions in the trade.
Online store connection
A great advantage of the Touch POS is that with the LocaFox POS software you are also able to connect external systems to your POS system. This gives you not only the option to customize the POS system according to your wishes, but also a wide range of possibilities in functionality. The Open-API interface allows you to connect your store to an online store or even link it to external store or merchandise management systems. With the help of the interface, which the digital POS systems have, you do not have to manage 2 systems (stationary POS & online store) independently, but can easily control them via 1 system. All stocks and products are synchronized, so that both in the stationary store, as well as in the online store, the appropriate products with the respective stock are always available to you. It is even possible to select which sales channel products should be sold through. For example, if you want to sell certain items only in the stationary store or sell other items only online.
LocaFox works with 2 online store providers, which simplifies the coupling of the POS system. Thanks to the Open API interface, many other online stores can of course also be connected to the LocaFox POS system.
- Digital reports: All reports, such as the receipt journal, the daily financial statements and the cash book are available to you in digital form. This means that you have an overview of every single transaction and can call them up in the back office at any time.
- Analyses & Statistics: In the LocaFox back office, detailed analyses and statistics are available to give you even more accurate insights into your products, sales, margins, etc. The LocaFox POS system is designed to provide you with additional support in your day-to-day business.

Connection to external systems
Another great advantage of cloud POS systems is that with LocaFox POS software you are also able to connect external systems to your POS system. This gives you not only the option to customize the POS system according to your wishes, but also a wide range of possibilities in terms of functionality. The Open-API interface allows you to connect your store with an online store or to couple it with external store or merchandise management systems.
