Smoke & vape shops
High SKU counts, fast repeat sales, tight stock control.
Point of sale for small shops
The point of sale you actually own.
SnapPOS runs on your own equipment — up to six tills, and a phone or tablet counts as one. No lifetime monthly software fees, no lock-in on who processes your cards, and it keeps ringing up sales when the internet goes down.
From $499. Runs on a computer you may already have — hardware is optional, and payment plans are available if you want it.

Why shops switch
Your payments end. Theirs don't.
Every big-name POS bills you forever and hands you nothing at the end of it. SnapPOS is a system you buy — spread the cost monthly if that suits you better, then the payments stop and it's yours.
Own it, don't rent it
Pay once, or split it into monthly payments with a real end date. Either way the software is yours — there's no switch we can flip to turn your till off.
Keeps working offline
Your inventory, sales and reports live on the machines at your counter. The register doesn't care whether your internet is up.
Your processor, your choice
We're not a payments company that happens to sell software. Shop your rates, and switch processors later without replacing your system.
What it does
Everything your counter needs. Nothing it doesn't.
Built for independent shops running anywhere from one till to six — not for a chain of fifty stores. That's why it's quick to learn and quick to use.
Ring up a sale in seconds
Scan, adjust quantity, apply a discount, take cash or card. SnapPOS shows the change to count out and prints an 80mm receipt through your normal printer.
- Runs on a PC, a tablet or an Android phone
- Any USB barcode scanner in keyboard mode
- Blocks selling below zero, so counts stay honest
- Unknown barcode? Add the item mid-sale
Inventory that stays accurate
Add items by hand or import a spreadsheet — SnapPOS reads common column names in English and Spanish. Export it, edit prices in Excel, import it back.
- Low-stock flags and alerts
- Quick +/- stock stepper on every row
- Removing an item keeps its sales history
Know where the money went
Close the day against a counted drawer and SnapPOS tells you the expected amount and the variance. Analytics covers sales, profit, inventory and cash over any date range you pick.
- Over/short calculated for you at close
- Reprint any receipt from history
- CSV export for your bookkeeper
Card payments
We don't own your processing. That's the point.
Clover locks you to Fiserv. Square is Square. Toast is Toast. Leave, and the hardware you paid for is a paperweight. SnapPOS takes cards through Datacap, which routes to a backend processor — so the processor is a setting, not a cage.
Shop your rates
We'll put your volume in front of processors and compare what comes back, instead of handing you one rate and calling it the price of admission.
Switch without starting over
Changing processors means a new merchant account and a parameter download — not a new POS, and not new terminals.
Terminals that move with you
PAX and Ingenico devices aren't tied to one processor the way a Clover device is. The hardware stays yours and stays useful.
Card processing is an add-on to the core app. Supported terminals and processors depend on Datacap's certified list — we'll confirm yours before you buy anything.
Who it's for
Built for counters like yours
A till or three, a scanner, a receipt printer and a drawer. If that's your shop, SnapPOS fits.
General & corner stores
Mixed inventory, cash-heavy days, quick close-outs.
Salons & barbers
Services plus retail product, on one simple till.
Tire & auto shops
Parts on the shelf, jobs at the counter, receipts that reprint.
