Keep your price at the counter.
Ring card or cash against real inventory — $0 seller fee, checkout fee on card by default, nothing on cash.
The register is usually the disconnected part of the shop.
When in-person sales run on a separate system they are invisible to everything else: online listings do not know, and the money does not reconcile against the item it came from.
Generic retail systems also assume restockable SKUs, which fits sealed product and fits singles badly.
- In-person sales that never reach your records
- Cash taken with no item attached to it
- Reconciliation between systems that disagree
- A card still listed online after it left the building
What Point of Sale does
Included from Business.
Card payments
A POS checkout session or an invoice QR the customer scans, settling to your own Stripe Connect account.
Cash sales
Recorded against the item so the sale exists in your records. You keep the cash, and there is no checkout fee.
$0 seller fee
Your buyer covers the 3.25% + $0.40 checkout fee by default. You can choose to cover it in settings instead.
Money lands with you
Card proceeds route to your Stripe Connect account directly rather than waiting on a platform payout cycle.
Sells your real inventory
The sale posts against the item, which is what keeps in-person and online from drifting apart.
Customer records
Customer management and reporting come with the same plan, so a repeat buyer is visible as one.
Getting set up
Connect Stripe once and the rest is selling.
Connect Stripe
Connect Stripe once and card proceeds settle straight to your own account.
Decide who covers the checkout fee
Buyer by default, or you, as an account setting rather than a per-sale choice.
Ring the sale
Card via checkout session or invoice QR, or cash recorded directly against the item.
Money settles
Card proceeds land in your Connect account. Cash stays in your drawer.
Questions people ask
What does POS cost me per sale?
$0 seller fee. Your buyer covers the 3.25% + $0.40 checkout fee by default, and you can opt to cover it instead. Cash sales carry no checkout fee at all. Stripe's own card processing applies on card sales.
Do I need Stripe Connect?
Card payments settle through your own Stripe Connect account, so you connect it once during setup. Cash sales need nothing.
Which plan includes POS?
POS is included from Business, alongside the storefront.
Can I use it at card shows?
Yes, wherever you have a connection — which in a convention centre usually means bringing your own hotspot rather than trusting venue wifi.
