About CirclePOS
A cloud-based point of sale (POS), inventory management, and e-commerce solution designed specifically for bookstores. It integrates in-store and online sales into a single system, accessible from any device.
CirclePOS is a specialized, cloud-based platform providing a complete point of sale, stock management, and online sales solution for independent bookstores. It aims to unify a bookstore's physical and digital presence by integrating a customizable e-commerce website directly with the in-store inventory system. Key features include comprehensive stock control, a shared community database for book data, and integrated CRM tools with loyalty and gift card programs. The system is multi-platform, accessible via web browser on PC, Mac, and Linux. While a native POS application is available for desktops, a mobile version is in development. Pricing is subscription-based, calculated on annual turnover and number of stores, with no upfront fees or user limits. Support is available via email and phone during business hours, supplemented by extensive training videos.
