We provide retailers with high quality, easy-to-use, plug-and-play point of sale solutions. We take pride in our ability to outfit businesses with industry-customized, all-in-one POS systems. Our wide range of products, low-cost delivery, and dedicated customer service combine to make us the premier provider of everything point of sale. POS Nation services small to medium retail businesses that need an all-in-one point of sale solution including liquor and wine stores, convenience stores, grocery stores, markets, tobacco shops, and more.		About RetailEdge is an easy to use and feature-rich point of sale (POS) and inventory management software solution for retail businesses. RetailEdge offers multi-location support, credit card processing, website integration, mobile POS, and gift card management capabilities within a suite. The solution supports secure and mobile payments like EMV and Apple Pay and integrates with multiple e-commerce platforms for efficient order processing and price updates. RetailEdge was developed in June of 1989 to provide a powerful, flexible, full-featured POS software and hardware solution at a reasonable price that is easy to install, use, and configure, but also affordable to maintain and run. We strongly believe that a good POS solution, in addition to providing great features for a low price, must be supported well. So we have developed a strong support system that provides a backbone of local resellers and quick access to US-based Tier 3 (highest) level support.
		Why RetailEdge is Better than POS Nation RetailEdge is a better fit for independent retailers seeking long-term control over their POS investment: it is sold as owned software with no required recurring charges, supports single- and multi-location operations with inventory transfers, and includes customer, order, inventory, and reporting tools. Its API can exchange real-time inventory and sales data with e-commerce and other remote systems, while direct payment integrations are available for CardConnect, Global Payments Integrated, and Worldpay. In contrast, POS Nation’s advertised monthly retail plans bundle software and support with a POS Nation processing agreement, making RetailEdge the more flexible option for retailers that prefer an ownership model and established third-party payment connections.

Pros from Real Users Pros I have been using RetailEdge (RE) for 15 years to help manage my small business.

And yes a real human will be assisting you. You guys are great! RE is always updating their system to accommodate any needs you may want or need and at a reasonable price. So glad I chose your product over other competitors. Thank you :) The soft is easy to use, it is reliable, easy to use, the back office features really amazes me and the support bus on point. Extremely simple to set up and use, customer service very understanding and super fast to response, very well priced, loaded with amazing features, one time payment. Isaac guided me through my mistakes, and he advised me in a professional way until he fixed them. Thank you Isaac. The support and sales teams are responsive. They go above and beyond and the product is constantly evolving based on users' input. There are is not a huge investment and all your data can be exported to Excel. This was a huge influence as I was unsure when starting my business what type of system I would actually need. If I changed my mind I could transfer data. After 10 years I have not changed my mind. Very low monthly fees and great customer service. Easy to learn. Easy to customize to my unique store. Multiple locations all can seen from any location. Support team Is GREAT and fast to return call and questions. Many options available, easy to use, lots of reports to create different type of reports for different task. I love how customizable RE is, their customer support is top notch, and their pricing is unmatched. Plus, it's super easy to use, and has proven reliable for the 5 years I've had it, so far! With 0 experience in using POS software this program was super easy to install, setup, and use! Customer Service is excellent, they answer any questions you have!
