Which setup fits your business
One store
Both cover single-store GST billing. Compare the billing screen, offline behaviour and the hardware you already own.
3 to 10 branches
Look at per-location cost, central price and product control, stock transfers and staff permissions per outlet.
Stores plus online
Check whether online and marketplace orders draw from the same stock as your counters, and any monthly order caps.
Warehouse-led retail
Check whether picking, packing and dispatch run in the POS system or need a separate inventory app.
What to weigh with Zoho POS
- Both offer offline billing. Ask how long each keeps working offline, which actions (returns, payments, customer edits) work offline, and how conflicts are resolved on reconnect.
- Zoho POS is priced per location and caps marketplace orders and purchase orders by plan; loyalty is included on the Premium plan only. Check these against your outlet count and volumes.
- Warehouse picking, packing and dispatch are not listed on Zoho POS's feature page; retailers who need them typically add Zoho Inventory.
