Akantio POS is a point-of-sale system for physical stores that already sell on WooCommerce.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Install the plugin, connect your store, and start ringing up in-person sales \u2014 using the exact same products, prices, and stock levels you already manage in WooCommerce. No second product catalog. No separate inventory to keep in sync by hand.<\/p>\n\n

The problem<\/h4>\n\n

Running a physical counter alongside a WooCommerce store usually means keeping two things in sync manually: what's in stock online, and what's actually left on the shelf. Every workaround \u2014 spreadsheets, a second system, end-of-day reconciliation \u2014 is one more place for numbers to drift apart.<\/p>\n\n

The solution<\/h4>\n\n

Akantio POS is a dedicated checkout app, built for the counter, that connects directly to your WooCommerce store. Your products, prices, and stock stay exactly where you already manage them \u2014 WooCommerce \u2014 and Akantio POS reads and writes to that single source of truth.<\/p>\n\n

One catalog. One inventory. Every sale in one place.<\/h4>\n\n
    \n
  • One catalog.<\/strong> Whatever you sell online is exactly what you sell at the counter \u2014 nothing to duplicate or maintain twice.<\/li>\n
  • One inventory.<\/strong> A sale at the register updates the same stock your online store checks. No overselling because the shelf ran out first.<\/li>\n
  • One order history, if you want it.<\/strong> Turn on Order Sync and every POS sale becomes a real WooCommerce order \u2014 same reporting, same order history, same customer records you already rely on.<\/li>\n
  • Still your WooCommerce store.<\/strong> Akantio POS adds a physical checkout without asking you to move off WooCommerce or change how your online store runs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

    How it works<\/h4>\n\n

    Install \u2192 Open \u2192 Connect \u2192 Sell<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

      \n
    1. Install and activate Akantio POS<\/strong> from WordPress, on your WooCommerce store.<\/li>\n
    2. Click \"Open Akantio POS.\"<\/strong> This opens Akantio in your browser.<\/li>\n
    3. Connect.<\/strong> Akantio authenticates and links to your WooCommerce store as part of opening it \u2014 there's no separate signup form to fill out first.<\/li>\n
    4. Start selling.<\/strong> Your WooCommerce products and stock are already there, ready to ring up.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

      Choose how Akantio works with WooCommerce<\/h4>\n\n

      Pick one sync mode from within Akantio POS:<\/p>\n\n

      Order Sync<\/strong> \u2014 every completed POS sale is created in WooCommerce as a real order, exactly as rung up, with stock reduced automatically. Use this if you want your in-person sales in your regular WooCommerce order history and reporting.<\/p>\n\n

      Stock-only Sync<\/strong> \u2014 POS sales adjust WooCommerce stock levels directly, without creating an order. Use this if you just need stock to stay accurate and don't need each counter sale to appear as a WooCommerce order.<\/p>\n\n

      Built for the counter<\/h4>\n\n

      Akantio POS itself \u2014 the checkout app your staff actually uses \u2014 is a fast, touch-friendly register screen, not a repurposed admin page. Take payment however the customer pays:<\/p>\n\n

        \n
      • Cash, with automatic change calculation<\/li>\n
      • Card, in person, via built-in Stripe Terminal or Revolut Terminal integration (Pro)<\/li>\n
      • Ad-hoc card entry (Free)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

        A clean, branded receipt is handed over without leaving the register.<\/p>\n\n

        Compatibility<\/h4>\n\n
          \n
        • WordPress 6.0 or later<\/li>\n
        • WooCommerce (required \u2014 Akantio POS connects to it directly)<\/li>\n
        • PHP 7.4 or later<\/li>\n
        • Works with both High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS) and legacy post-based order storage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

          Privacy & security<\/h4>\n\n

          In plain terms: this plugin does not send your store data to Akantio. Akantio POS connects to your store using WooCommerce's own REST API authentication \u2014 the same mechanism any WooCommerce REST API client uses \u2014 and this plugin never stores or manages that credential itself.<\/p>\n\n

          For anyone who wants the technical detail: this plugin makes no outbound requests to Akantio or any other third party. All communication is inbound \u2014 your connected Akantio POS instance calls this site's REST API to push orders or stock updates. The one exception is the \"Open Akantio POS\" link, which opens Akantio in your browser only when you click it, the same as clicking a bookmark.<\/p>\n\n\n

            \n
          1. Install and activate WooCommerce if you haven't already.<\/li>\n
          2. Upload and activate this plugin (Plugins \u2192 Add New, or upload the zip).<\/li>\n
          3. Click \"Open Akantio POS\" and connect \u2014 no configuration is needed on the WordPress side.<\/li>\n
          4. In Akantio POS, choose Order Sync or Stock-only Sync and confirm the connection succeeded from WooCommerce \u2192 Akantio POS in wp-admin, which shows a log of recent sync activity.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
            \n

            Is Akantio POS free?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

            Yes, there's a free plan. Free<\/strong> covers 1 device, 1 user, up to 100 products, and up to 50 orders\/month, with cash or ad-hoc card payments. Pro<\/strong> adds unlimited products and orders, card payment integration via Stripe Terminal and Revolut Terminal, and accounting sync with Moneybird. See akantio.com for current pricing.<\/p><\/dd>\n

            Does it work with my existing WooCommerce store?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

            Yes. Akantio POS connects to the WooCommerce store you already have \u2014 it doesn't require a new store setup or a separate product catalog.<\/p><\/dd>\n

            Do I need to create a separate account?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

            No separate signup form. Connecting from Akantio POS authenticates and links your store as one step \u2014 you don't register an account and then connect it afterward.<\/p><\/dd>\n

            Do I need to duplicate my products?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

            No. Akantio POS uses your existing WooCommerce products directly.<\/p><\/dd>\n

            Does Akantio sync inventory with WooCommerce?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

            Yes. Stock changes from POS sales apply to WooCommerce, either through Order Sync (which also creates a WooCommerce order) or Stock-only Sync (stock only, no order created). You choose the mode in Akantio POS.<\/p><\/dd>\n

            Can POS sales become WooCommerce orders?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

            Yes, when Order Sync is enabled. Each completed sale is created as a real WooCommerce order, exactly as rung up, with stock reduced automatically.<\/p><\/dd>\n

            Does this recalculate my order totals or taxes?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

            No. Orders and stock changes are applied exactly as Akantio POS computed them at the register \u2014 this plugin never recalculates totals or taxes after the fact.<\/p><\/dd>\n

            Does it support High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS)?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

            Yes, as well as legacy post-based order storage.<\/p><\/dd>\n

            Does Akantio POS run on my WordPress server?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

            No. This plugin runs on your WordPress site, but Akantio POS itself \u2014 the checkout app, your account, and your license \u2014 runs on Akantio's own servers, not on your WordPress hosting. This plugin is the bridge between the two.<\/p><\/dd>\n

            Where do I manage the connection or see sync activity?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

            WooCommerce \u2192 Akantio POS in wp-admin shows recent order and stock sync activity, with links to the affected orders and products, plus a link to open Akantio POS.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
