What's Unique About POS Nation?
POS Nation has great features built right into its software. Here are some highlights:
- Transaction simplicity
POS Nation’s software streamlines your checkout process with touchscreens, barcode scanners, and other technology. To help customers find a product quickly, POS Nation offers item and SKU lookup. POS Nation’s age validation feature allows you to scan an ID for age verification (think liquor and tobacco stores). Best of all, mobile checkout uses integrated tablets and wireless scanners so employees can circulate the store for a quicker checkout process. Transactions are smoother and faster, which makes for happier customers.
Other great features include creating discounts, sale pricing, coupons, lotto ticket sales capability, and multiple payment options. They also offer the ability to use customizable hotkeys with photos.
- Inventory management
POS Nation helps keep your inventory organized and moving. Mix-and-match pricing allows you to group items, check stock, and adjust pricing to move products efficiently. You can track inventory by the case or carton-pack, set up auto re-ordering, arrange layaway plans, and get inventory metrics in real-time. We like that POS Nation has a handheld inventory device for mobile inventory checks and an unlimited number of items in your database.
- Payroll services
From timecard tracking to payroll deduction reporting and user permissions, POS Nation is a useful tool for keeping track of your payroll.
- Customer loyalty programs
POS Nation allows you to create and manage customer loyalty including tracking customers, sales and marketing tools, and various rewards programs.
POS Nation also offers customizable business solutions depending on a customer’s specific requirements. Other services include mobile reporting, cloud backup, virtual back-office, credit card integration, inventory importing, and account integration.
Customer Support
POS Nation offers 24/7, US-based customer support, helpful if you run into an issue. You can contact support via phone or email, or by using the built-in live chat. POS Nation also has a for-pay monthly support plan that offers much more than your typical customer support. The plan includes unlimited training, step-by-step support, and expert advice on any issue that may arise. The extended support plan costs $39.99 per month, so you’ll have to decide if those are features worth budgeting for.
Office hours: Mon – Fri, 8am - 6pm
Support hours: 24/7
Pricing (Software and Hardware)

Contract Terms
POS Nation offers flexible contract terms. You can sign up for a monthly plan or opt for a long-term package to get a discounted rate. Plans can include hardware, or you can design a package based on your needs and what you already have. POS Nation’s systems include a manufacturer’s warranty. Warranties range from 2-3 years depending on the package you choose, while monthly subscription programs come with a lifetime warranty. If you receive a defective piece of hardware, POS Nation will send a replacement the next day (if you call within the first 30 days).
POS Nation has impressive security features. Exception reports let you keep tabs on employees and their sales activity, cash draws, and blind counts. POS Nation uses multi-layered security protocols, encryption, and “out of scope” handling of information for next-level security.
