Point of sale for Lebanon

The online POS for shops in Lebanon.

Dollars and lira, side by side, at the rate you set.

OctaPOS is an online point of sale for Lebanese shops that take two currencies all day and still have to know, at closing time, exactly what is in the drawer. Scan, weigh, sell on account, print the receipt — then read the month with real accounts behind it.

Runs in the browser on the phone in your pocket and the PC on your counter. Nothing to install.

The part everyone gets wrong

A rate that changes should not rewrite what you already sold.

Most tills treat lira as a display trick — one rate, applied everywhere, recalculated whenever you change it. Move the rate and last week's takings quietly change with it. OctaPOS records the money the way it actually moved.

Every sale keeps its own rate

The rate in force is stamped onto the transaction. Change it tomorrow and yesterday's figures stay exactly as they were — because that is what the customer paid.

Two piles, counted separately

Dollars and lira are physically separate piles of notes, so they are counted and reconciled separately. Rolling them into one tidy figure is how a shortage hides.

Change in notes that exist

Lira change is rounded to a step you choose, so a cashier is never asked to hand over a note nobody prints. The rounding is recorded, so the drawer still reconciles to the cent.

On the counter

Fast where it has to be fast.

A queue does not wait for software. Scanning, weighing and taking payment are the paths that got the attention.

Scan anything

A USB scanner works from anywhere on the screen — no clicking into a box first. On a phone, the camera reads the barcode instead.

Sell by weight

Enter a weight in grams or kilos, or enter the money and let it work out the weight. Charcoal, cheese, nuts, produce — priced and stocked correctly.

Print on what you own

Bluetooth thermal printers from an Android phone, USB printers from a PC, AirPrint from an iPhone. The receipt sizes itself to 57mm or 80mm paper.

Stock that tells the truth

Every delivery is a batch with its own cost and expiry. Goods leave shortest-expiry-first, and each sale remembers what those goods actually cost you.

Customers on account

Put a sale on the tab with a credit limit that actually stops it. The receipt prints what went on account and the balance at that moment.

Print your own barcodes

Loose goods and repacked items get a label the shop prints itself, in a range that can never collide with a real manufacturer's barcode.

At the end of the month

The accounts, not just the sales.

Most tills tell you what you sold. Knowing whether you made money needs the cost of what went out of the door, the expenses, the waste, and what customers still owe you — all cut on your own trading days, not on UTC dates.

  • Profit and loss — revenue less what the goods cost you, less expenses and waste.
  • VAT — output on sales, input on purchases, net payable. Or switch VAT off entirely if you are under the threshold.
  • Receivables — who owes you, and for how long: 30, 60, 90 days and beyond.
  • Inventory — value at cost, what is low, what expires soon, what has not moved.
  • Waste and voids — by reason and by person, which is what makes a pattern visible.
  • Build your own — tick the columns you want and the report groups itself. Every one downloads as a spreadsheet.

Money you take for yourself sits below net profit — never as an expense. Paying yourself does not make the shop less profitable.

Built to be trusted

Nothing quietly disappears.

The point of a record is that it survives being inconvenient. A mistake and a theft should not leave the same trace — none.

Corrections, not deletionsUndoing something writes a second entry that puts it back, stamped with who did it, when, and why. The original stays.
The count is finalOnce a drawer has been counted and signed off, that figure cannot be edited later — which is the whole reason for counting it.
Your own databaseEach store's data lives in its own database, backed up separately. Your books are not mixed in with anybody else's.
Rights per personRefunds, discounts, price overrides, the safe, the rate. Grant exactly what someone needs — enforced on the server, not just hidden.

More than one branch, one store

Run several locations under one account, each with its own stock, tills and safe. Every screen, report and receipt shows the branch beneath your store name — so a branch can never present itself as a different shop.

One drawer or one each

Share a single till between everyone on a shift, or give every cashier their own drawer to open and close. The owner sees all of them side by side, with what each is holding right now.

Pricing

Fifty dollars a month. Thirty for each branch after the first.

No setup fee and no cut of what you sell. Every feature is in both plans — you pay for locations, not for being allowed to use the software properly.

Who it is for

A point of sale for shops across Lebanon.

Minimarkets and grocers, butchers and anyone selling loose goods by weight, hardware shops, bakeries, phone and electronics shops — anywhere a queue forms and two currencies cross the counter.

Suppliers and deliveries

Keep every supplier with their contact and agreed payment terms, then receive a delivery against their invoice — each item with its own cost and expiry date. Delivery charges are spread across the goods, so the cost you sell against is the cost that actually landed in your shop. Mark a delivery as taken on credit and it stays visible as money you still owe.

Works on what you already have

There is no hardware to buy from us. OctaPOS is an online POS that runs in the browser on an Android phone, an iPhone, a laptop or the PC already sitting on your counter, with any USB barcode scanner and any thermal receipt printer. If your shop has internet and a printer, you can start today.

Every store gets its own database and its own login, and you decide what each cashier can reach. Add a second branch when you open one and pay for it from that month — no new system, no migration, and the reports simply start covering both.

Questions

Straight answers.

What do I need to run it?

An internet connection and either a phone or a PC with a browser. For receipts, a thermal printer: Bluetooth if you are working from an Android phone, USB if you are on a PC. Nothing is installed — you open a web address and sign in with your store code.

Does it work without internet?

No. OctaPOS is online-only. Sales, stock and cash have to agree across every till and every branch at once, and a till that keeps selling while disconnected cannot promise that. If your connection is unreliable, tell us before you buy and we will be straight with you about whether it suits you.

Can I print from an iPhone?

Yes, through the iPhone's own share sheet and AirPrint. Direct Bluetooth printing is not possible from an iPhone — Apple does not allow it in the browser — so if you want a cashier printing to a handheld Bluetooth printer, use an Android phone. On a PC, any printer with a normal driver works.

What language is it in?

The interface and the receipts are in English. There is no Arabic interface today.

Who can see my figures?

Each store gets its own separate database, so your books are never in a shared table with another shop's. Inside your store, you decide what each member of staff can reach, and sensitive actions are written to an audit log with the person's name against them.

What if I want to leave?

Your data is yours. Because each store is its own database, a full copy can be handed over. Every report also downloads as a spreadsheet at any time.

Can I change the exchange rate myself?

Yes — an administrator sets it from Settings whenever the market moves. Rates are added, never overwritten, so changing today's rate cannot alter what you already sold at yesterday's.

Can I try it before deciding?

Yes. We will set up a store with some of your own products in it so you can ring up a real sale, print a real receipt and close a real drawer before you commit to anything.

See it running on your own products.

Book a walkthrough and we will set up a store with your catalogue, so you can try a real sale rather than watch a slideshow.
