What Octopos is
Octopos is a paid point-of-sale and retail management platform for independent grocery, liquor, smoke, and other corner-store businesses. It combines checkout, inventory, loyalty, and marketing. Checkout handles barcode and PLU entry, scanner-scale products, cash, cards, EBT, WIC, pin debit, and split tender. Inventory tools include AI assistance, automatic reordering, low-stock alerts, mobile receiving, and invoice checks that flag price increases and show margins. Loyalty supports points, rewards, targeted promotions, SMS and email campaigns, plus Apple and Google Wallet rewards. Octopos runs on Android and the web, with offline mode, employee permissions, multiple locations, and sales reporting. The Octoyard app lets staff search products, receive deliveries, count stock, print labels, and create products. Proprietary hardware includes an Android cashier terminal, customer display, scanners, scales, a Zebra label printer, and a Pax A10 payment device. A free trial is available. Business Basic costs $49.99 a month per station; Business Premium costs $89.99 a month per station. One Plan pricing is tailored to lanes, locations, and hardware.
