Most Helpful Negative User Review
“My biggest heartburn with Shopkeep was the card reader we had. It ran out of juice often and had to be reset more often than I would have preferred. However, I understand that better options have become available since we last used ShopKeep. Other than that? Seriously a great product for the price. I learned of it from another business just like mine in a different city and that business also spoke highly of ShopKeep.”

What is ShopKeep?
ShopKeep is the point of sale system built by merchants for merchants. Originally founded by a small business owner just like you, we understand that simple, powerful solutions beat complicated, over-engineered options every time.
Our competitors focus on adding as many features to their software as possible. That sounds great on a sales call, but when you’re trying to run your business, it just makes everything more complicated. You end up paying for features you might not understand or ever use, wasting valuable time and money along the way.
Having lived the life of a merchant, we take a very different approach. We always focus on your day-to-day experience first, whether you’re a retail shop, a quick-service restaurant or a full-service restaurant and bar. We prioritize the features and tools we know real business owners use day-in and day-out while keeping our POS system as easy to use and intuitive as possible. This focus allows us to blend the advanced functionality that you need while staying streamlined and affordable.

ShopKeep Unique Features
ShopKeep’s careful balance of advanced features and overall ease of use make it one of the only POS systems suitable for both new and experienced entrepreneurs. Outside of the standard features you’ve come to expect from a modern POS system like streamlined transactions, support for multiple payment methods, basic inventory management, and modern tablet hardware, ShopKeep offers several unique features:
Powerful Reporting – ShopKeep offers some of the most comprehensive and easy to understand reporting on the market. Whether you want to track profit margins at the per item level or understand sales trends at macro and micro levels, we can do it.
ShopKeep Loyalty – ShopKeep helps you maximize the value of your existing customers and generate business with a highly flexible loyalty program that keeps customers coming back.
Local SEO and Reviews Management – Not only does ShopKeep help you earn more from your regulars, but we also help you reach new customers with our ShopKeep Spotlight tool. This allows you to quickly create, update, and manage business listings across major sites like Google, Yelp, and Facebook. This ensures that your business appears online when potential customers are searching for the products and services you offer. You can also manage reviews on services like Yelp. No other POS system on the market includes this functionality and it’s a major way that ShopKeep can help you not only run your business but grow it.
ShopKeep Pocket – It’s important to stay on top of your business when you’re on the go, whether that means an important meeting or your kid’s soccer practice. ShopKeep Pocket is a mobile reporting app for both iOS and Android, which gives you access to critical sales and business data right on your phone. Easily switch between business locations to get the big picture, and leverage real-time notifications to know when shifts open or close, and which employee is responsible.
Modern Hardware – Unlike traditional POS systems that use clunky and expensive proprietary hardware, ShopKeep runs on iPads and Android tablets. Not only is this hardware more reliable, but it’s also more affordable. Additionally, ShopKeep has a full ecosystem of credit card readers, kitchen printers, barcode scanners, and more, which can serve the needs of retail businesses, quick-service restaurants, and full-service restaurants and bars. Mix and match your hardware to create the perfect custom setup.
ShopKeep Capital – Running a successful small business is no easy feat. Factor in financial constraints and it can seem almost impossible. ShopKeep Capital is a safe, easy way for ShopKeep customers to access funding to grow or maintain their businesses. Available for any business need, ShopKeep Capital is a great way to finance new equipment, fund a marketing push, hire more employees, or buy inventory. Getting started is as easy as logging into BackOffice.
ShopKeep Payments – ShopKeep Payments allows you to accept your customers’ favorite payment methods, like credit, debit, cash, EMV, Apple Pay, and more, at the lowest integrated processing rate, guaranteed. With the same 24/7/365 customer support as our POS software and no long-term contracts, ShopKeep Payments is the perfect partner for our POS system.
