Point of Sale (POS) software in Pakistan: 2026 price guide
Compare Point of Sale (POS) software in Pakistan: offline Windows POS vs cloud subscriptions, PKR prices, hardware costs and what small shops need.
Updated · 2 min read
When a shopkeeper in Pakistan searches for Point of Sale (POS) software, most of the results are either expensive enterprise ERP systems built for 50-branch fashion chains or foreign cloud apps priced in US dollars that freeze the moment PTCL or local fibre drops. If you run a single-counter kiryana store, general store, grocery mart or mobile phone shop in Lahore, Karachi, Rawalpindi, Islamabad, Faisalabad, Multan or Peshawar, here is what POS software in Pakistan actually costs and how to choose the right system.
1. Offline Windows POS vs monthly cloud POS in Pakistan
Every Point of Sale system falls into one of two categories: browser/cloud POS that lives on a remote server, or native offline Windows POS software that runs directly on your counter PC.
- Offline Windows POS (best for Pakistani shop counters): Installs on Windows 10 or 11 with a local database on your own computer. Barcode scanning, thermal receipt (parchi) printing and udhaar khata work 100% offline through load shedding and internet outages—all you need is a basic UPS for your PC.
- Cloud / web POS: Requires a working internet connection to sync bills and load screens. If the internet drops during the 7pm evening rush, checkout slows down or stops.
2. What does Point of Sale (POS) software cost in Pakistan?
POS software prices in Pakistan depend on whether you rent software every month or buy a yearly or one-time lifetime licence. You can see our exact rupee prices on the Sabt POS pricing page:
- Monthly cloud subscriptions: Typically Rs 3,000 to Rs 7,000 per month (Rs 36,000 to Rs 84,000 every year, forever), often with extra charges per user or per counter.
- Sabt Retail Basic (for kiryana & general stores): Rs 19,999/year or Rs 49,999 one-time lifetime licence.
- Sabt Retail Pro (adds udhaar khata, supplier bills, pack sizes & price tags): Rs 29,999/year or Rs 74,999 one-time lifetime licence.
- Sabt Mobile Basic & Pro (for mobile phone, accessories & repair shops): Basic Rs 19,999/year (Rs 49,999 lifetime) or Pro Rs 29,999/year (Rs 74,999 lifetime).
3. Choose a POS built for your exact trade (dukan)
A generic billing screen forces you to work around your software. A kiryana store needs loose items by kilogram, weighing-scale barcodes, cartons and dozens, and shelf price tags—which is why Sabt Retail is built specifically for grocery and general stores. A phone shop needs 15-digit dual-IMEI tracking, PTA status, used-phone buyback CNIC affidavits and a 4-stage repair board with karigar commission—which is why Sabt Mobile is a separate product built only for mobile and repair shops.
4. Hardware budget for a counter POS setup
You do not need an expensive touchscreen terminal. Any standard Windows 10 or 11 desktop PC or laptop works with an 80mm or 58mm USB thermal receipt printer and a plug-and-play USB barcode scanner. Read our POS printer and barcode scanner buying guide before buying hardware in Hall Road, Saddar or Dubai Plaza.
