There are almost NO solutions for this currently… the best we’ve found is by using Vend (http://www.vendhq.com) + Shopify (http://www.vendhq.com/tour/xero-shopify). This option however leaves us with a base wp website and secondary shopify subdomain as our online store.
What I would LOVE is a solution where a program like Vend can sync directly with the WooCommerce solution resulting in ONE website backend to manage. (this would also allow for easier ways to purchase directly from related blog posts)

I don’t know how WooCommerce hasn’t created their own POS system already. Having to pay for a separate POS system and then pay for a third party integrating system seems excessive and unnecessary (not to mention confusing for many clients).
There is a HUGE demand for WooCommerce POS. How has this not been developed already?
If linksync can get WooCommerce to sync every 5 minutes with Vend, pushing orders, customers, and products either direction, then why doesn’t WooThemes buy some of that tech and build out their own iOS POS App. Ditch the sync, and go direct. I’d happily pay a monthly fee to use that.
Would anyone be wiling to share samples or more info on integration with FileMaker?
Tom?
Take a look at woopos. It brings in the POS portion of what you’re looking for and inventory management is already handled by woocommerce. The remaining piece (bookkeeping) is all that’s left.
We are working on developing a POS solution for WooCommerce. Stay tuned. Anyone who is interested in it can sign up here: http://goo.gl/forms/CxDFp3g4sp
I will also be needing beta testers at some point.
Depending on the store why couldn’t you just setup a cheap chrome book at the store? When a customer wants to checkout, the clerk can just do it on the website using a retail login or having customers signup right there. Payment processing is done online instead of online and retail (simplifying merchant accounting), inventory management is taken care of through woocommerce, bookkeeping can be done semi manually through quickbooks because its a popular product but sadly doesn’t integrate with anything useful.
do it even easier| I just need to link my card reader with my webshop. that way there is no need for vend or anything. im using revel for the moment and i am setting up shopify just to link it to my pos so i can sell onsite. If someone would develop an app where you can buy in my online store directly from the ipad i have in the shop with a credit card terminal, I would have no more need for shopify or revel, no monthly costs for a POS.
Can you share the results of the survey or which platforms you are looking to connect with woocommerce? I saw lightspeed POS, what’s next?
Hi support
Can your plugin integrate the BINDO POS to WooCommerce and migrate the inventory auomatically?
Demetrius,
In October we released a WooCommerce Integrator that connects Quickbooks POS to WooCommerce. It does a nice job of synchronizing Quickbooks POS inventory with WooCommerce and it sends online order and customer information from WooCommerce to Quickbooks POS. You can read more about it here:
http://www.woothemes.com/products/woocommerce-integrator/
This WooCommerce Integrator also connects to 13 other POS systems today if you were to ever need it. If you need help or have questions, feel free to contact us: http://www.modernretail.com
Our Quickbooks POS integration dates back to 2006 so we know it pretty good. 😉 Thanks.
Enjoy,
Todd Myers

Add another option:
A POS GUI built into Woocommerce or as a extra plugin.
Ok, here are the most up-to-date options:
1. WooCommerce-built POS Integration – This could be native GUI inside WC, or built as an Extension (possibly free or paid)
2. WooCommerce + Vend + Linksync + PayPal – Note Vend provides an “Extra Small” service level that is free.
3. WooCommerce + WooCommerce POS (on WordPress.org) — also has Pro Version
4. WooCommerce Point of Sale (POS) (on CodeCanyon)
5. The desktop POS from epointofsale.sinticbolivia.net
I wonder if there is interest in a payed app for either Android, IOS or Windows that lets you scan the barcode of the product in the store and updates wooCommerce and alerts you through the app when a product is sold (sold out) in the webshop.
We have an excellent solution in place with Virtuemart for Joomla. The POS system is bootstrap based and works well on desktop and tablet. I would be interested in porting this to Woocommerce if there is enough interest.
More researching — Current up-to-date options:
1. WooCommerce-built POS Integration – This could be native GUI inside WC, or built as an Extension (possibly free or paid) and connecting to existing POS such as Bindo, Harbortouch, Lightspeed, PayPal Here, Square Register (per their survey).
2. WooCommerce + Vend + Linksync + PayPal – Note Vend provides an “Extra Small” service level that is free.
3. WooCommerce + Vend + Vend iPad POS. There is a company that may be building a plugin/extension to connect WC to Vend directly (wisdmlabs.com, check their blog)
4. WooCommerce + WooCommerce POS (on WordPress.org) — also has Pro Version
5. WooCommerce + TradeGecko (they are working on WC integration) — TradeGecko has their own POS interface.
6. WooCommerce Point of Sale (POS) (on CodeCanyon)
7. The desktop POS from epointofsale.sinticbolivia.net
8. TBD – Dean from Datalynk UK may port their Virtuemart solution to WooCommerce
Note: Many POS systems noted above do not specifically address Restaurant capability, so POS functionality is limited to standard Retail POS use-cases. Some POS apps, like ShopKeep are more suited for Restaurant applications.
The plugin WooCommerce POS does not have all the features I need. The code canyon one does not seem to have support for coupons. I can’t figure out how to install the desktop one. Anyone have any ideas?
Hi Lisa,
Check this out: https://www.linksync.com/integrate/vend-woocommerce-pos-integration
It is in the beta testing phase though, but it looks promising.
Is there any progress or update on whether woo will take this on next?
We’ve been looking at this, integrating with a number of other systems through API. The problem we are finding here is that EVERY system wants to be the central inventory system, including WooCommerce. With multiple outlet channels (i.e. website and physical shop, which is essentially what having a POS is about), trying to manage and synchronise multiple inventory systems is a hard problem to solve.
Woocommerce should be the central inventory system, would love to hear some integration on this
We need to have an extension that would allow a register application on an iPad, iPhone and or Andriod device like SquareUp register. an integrated swipe device like squareup would be perfect to connect all of my inventory and transaction could be in one place.
Has anyone tried the Quickbooks POS integration?
http://docs.woothemes.com/document/quickbooks-pos-integration/
Are there any POS integration solutions for Woocommerce to run a central inventory for brick and mortar and webshop at the samen time?
http://www.polarpos.com claims to do this, still investigating further. It is cheaper than Erply – $499 licence and e-commerce packages from $15pcm
This is a must please do this someone
