Retail Express

Web-Based POS App for AU & NZ Retailers

Looking for a POS app for your shop? Retail Express is a web-based POS app you open in the browser on an iPad or PC, with full inventory and barcode checkout behind it, not a lightweight phone till that runs out of room the moment you track stock.

Common pain points

Most POS apps run out of room when retail gets real

A phone app only takes payments

Lightweight POS apps handle a sale but little else. Once you track barcodes, suppliers, and stock, you need a full retail app, not a phone calculator.

Can an iPad really run my shop?

Yes. A web-based POS app on iPad gives you full inventory, barcode scanning, and receipt printing at the counter, not just a card screen.

Will I outgrow it in a year?

Many apps cap you at one till. A web app that scales to more registers, stores, and online selling grows with the shop instead of forcing a switch.

How to choose the best POS system

Web app on iPad

A web-based POS app that runs on iPad

Retail Express is a web-based POS app: you open it in the browser on an iPad or PC and you are trading, no heavy install, no App Store limits. Behind the checkout sits full inventory, purchasing, promotions, and reporting, so a tablet till handles real product retail, not just payments. See retail POS software and inventory management.

Counter ready

Real counter hardware, not just a screen

A tablet till still needs to scan, print, and take cards. Retail Express works with barcode scanners and receipt printers, and pairs with a Windows host for integrated EFTPOS, so iPad checkout is proven at the counter. See POS hardware setup and EFTPOS hardware.

Keep selling

Cloud sync with offline resilience

Sales, stock, and customers sync in the cloud, so figures are the same on every device and back office. If the internet drops, eligible setups keep selling with offline POS and sync back when you reconnect, not something a phone-only app usually offers.

Scales up

Room to grow, without app-store limits

A tablet till should not cap your growth. Retail Express adds more registers, stores, and online selling with Shopify and multi-store retail, so the same platform runs one iPad today and several stores later.

Web-Based POS App for AU & NZ Retailers FAQ

Answers for retailers in Australia and New Zealand.

Yes, in the web-app sense. It is a web-based POS app you open in a browser on an iPad or PC, app-like at the counter, with your whole shop behind it. It is not a native app you download from the App Store or Google Play, and that is the point: you get full retail features (inventory, purchasing, reporting) without the limits of a lightweight phone app.

Yes. Retail Express opens in the browser on an iPad and gives you full inventory, barcode scanning, and receipt printing at the counter, not just payments. For integrated EFTPOS and receipt printing, the iPad shares a Windows host on the counter. See POS hardware setup and EFTPOS hardware.

For product retailers that manage inventory, a web-based POS app on a tablet or PC can be a better fit than a phone-only app. It gives staff more room for checkout, product search, stock, supplier, and reporting workflows. Retail Express is built for those retail operations, while a lightweight phone app may suit sellers with a very small catalogue and no stock to manage.

If you have very few items, no inventory, and no need for purchasing, stocktakes, or accounting links, a light phone app can be enough. If barcoded products, stock accuracy, reports, or growth (extra stores, Shopify) matter, a web-based POS app like Retail Express will serve you far longer.

Yes for live sync in normal use. If outages are a concern, Retail Express offers offline POS for eligible setups, so the till keeps trading on a Windows PC and syncs back when you reconnect, something a basic phone app rarely offers.

A 10-inch or larger iPad or a Windows PC, plus a receipt printer, barcode scanner, and EFTPOS as needed. Receipt printing and integrated EFTPOS run through a Windows host that the iPad shares. Retail Express is software; you source compatible kit. See POS hardware setup.

No. Retail Express runs on iPad and Windows tablets (10 inches and up) and PCs, not on mobile phone displays. If you searched "mobile POS," you likely want tablet checkout with real stock rather than a phone card reader, and that is exactly what the app does on an iPad.

If you sell physical products with barcodes or SKUs in AU or NZ and want your stock, reports, and checkout in one app on an iPad or PC, it is likely a strong fit. Book a demo to see it on your own products. Compare retail POS software or POS for small business for your scale.
