Choose Zoho POS to stay within Zoho; choose Commmerce POS for offline-first, India-first retail depth.
Frequently asked questions
Does Commmerce POS work fully offline?
Yes. Billing, payments, and stock updates continue offline and sync when the connection returns, and staff can log in offline for up to 5 days. This is deeper offline resilience than a cloud-first POS.
What devices does Commmerce POS run on?
Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, Linux, and the web from a single app, on hardware you already own, with generic printers and scanners.
Does Commmerce POS include inventory and warehouse?
Yes. Real-time multi-branch inventory, stock transfers, purchase orders, and warehouse picking are built in on the same core as billing.
