Akantio POS
Akantio POS turns your WooCommerce catalog into a full point-of-sale register — for shops, pop-ups, markets, and counter sales, right alongside the online store you already run.
Ring up sales on a fast, touch-friendly checkout screen and take payment however the customer pays — cash, or card in person via built-in Stripe and Revolut terminal integration, with more payment providers on the way — then hand over a receipt without ever leaving the register. This plugin is the bridge that keeps your WooCommerce store and your POS register looking at the same truth: the same products, the same stock, and — if you choose — the same orders.
Why run WooCommerce as your POS
- One product catalog. Whatever you sell online is exactly what you sell in person — no duplicate product lists to maintain.
- Stock that’s always right. A sale at the register is a sale in WooCommerce. No overselling online because the shelf emptied out.
- Real orders, if you want them. Turn on Order Sync and every POS sale becomes a proper WooCommerce order — same reporting, same order history, same customer records.
- Built for the counter. Akantio POS itself is a fast, offline-capable register app, not a repurposed admin screen — designed for the person ringing up the next customer, not the store owner in the back office.
Two independent sync modes (choose one from Akantio POS itself):
- Order Sync — every completed POS sale is created here as a real WooCommerce order, exactly as rung up, with stock reduced automatically.
- Stock-only Sync — POS sales adjust product stock levels directly, without creating an order in WooCommerce.
Compatible with both High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS) and legacy post-based order storage.
Get started
- Install this plugin on your WooCommerce store.
- Download and open Akantio POS and follow its « Connect to WooCommerce » flow.
- Pick Order Sync or Stock-only Sync, and start ringing up sales.
How the connection works
Connecting is driven entirely from Akantio POS, not from this site — open Akantio POS and follow its « Connect to WooCommerce » flow, which authenticates using WooCommerce’s own native REST API consumer key/secret system (the same mechanism any other WooCommerce REST API client uses). This plugin does not store, generate, or manage that credential itself.
Third-party service disclosure
This plugin does not make any outbound network requests to Akantio or any other third party. All communication is inbound: your Akantio POS instance calls this site’s REST API (authenticated via WooCommerce’s native REST auth) to push orders or stock updates. The only exception is the « Open POS » link in this plugin’s admin page, which — only when you click it — opens Akantio POS in your browser, the same as clicking any bookmark.
