SQUARE FOR MULTI-STORE RETAIL
Multi-store Retail POS system for smooth selling
Your POS (Point of Sale) system is an integral part of your business’s operations. In particular, it plays a vital role in managing inventory and the staff who access and sell it.
The more you grow, the more demands that will be placed on your POS system. This means that it’s vital that you choose a robust multi-store POS system.

- Quick and simple to set up both the software and hardware for multiple stores.
- Designed to help businesses manage as few as one or two stores to hundreds across various locations.
- Access and user permissions can be set based on each employee’s role in the business.
- Track sales per employee, store and vendor enabling you to make data-driven decisions.
Centralised inventory management system
A range of inventory management features to benefit multi-store retailers.
“We sourced a Square Terminal when we first opened our business and loved how simple it was to set up. We process our retail sales and clothing hire fees and find the screen interface easy to use for all cards, phone taps and Afterpay too.”
