Multi-store POS

A multi store POS system for your second shop and beyond.

Opening another branch doubles the stock to watch and adds transfers to keep track of. POS2026 runs in the browser at every location, and its stock transfers move quantities between branches with the change recorded.

In short

A multi store POS system lets one business run sales and stock across more than one shop or site. In POS2026, multi-branch is available on the plans that include it. Each location uses the same browser-based app, and stock transfers move quantities between branches or locations with both counts kept right, so you know what each shop holds.

The second shop is where informal systems break. With one shop you can see the shelves and remember who owes what. With two, stock travels in the back of a car, the best seller runs out at one branch while the other has a box in the stockroom, and the question of how the week went needs two sets of numbers.

If you need a POS for multiple stores, POS2026 handles the stock side directly. Multi-branch is available on the plans that include it, so check the plan details in the app before you set up a second site. With it in place, Stock transfer options move quantities between branches and locations with the change recorded, and stock reports show what is held, what is low and what has moved. Each site only needs a device with a browser and an internet connection.

Growing pains

What changes when you open another shop.

Most of the new problems are about stock in the wrong place.

Stock in the wrong branch

One shop sells out while the other is overstocked, and nobody is sure what was moved between them or when.
Transfers on scraps of paper

A run between sites gets noted on the back of a delivery note, or not at all. Counts drift at both ends.
Shelves you cannot see

You are standing in one shop while the other runs out. Low-stock warnings matter more when you are not there to look.
Buying for two

Ordering for two locations from memory doubles the chance of too much of one line and too little of another.

01 · Stock transfers

Move stock between branches and keep both counts right.

When stock goes from one shop to another, record it as a transfer. The quantity leaves one location and arrives at the other, and the movement is kept on record. Counts stay right at both ends, so low-stock warnings and reorder decisions are based on what each shop really holds.

One habit makes it work: record the transfer before the goods leave, and check them against it when they arrive. Any difference found later can be corrected with a manual adjustment.

Transfer options

Move quantities between branches and locations with the change recorded.

Manual adjustments

Correct a count after a stock take, breakage or a loss in transit.

Movements reported

Stock reports show what has moved as well as what is held.

02 · Multi-branch plans

Multi branch POS on the plans that include it.

Multi-branch is available on the plans that include it. Plan names and prices are shown inside the app when you create an account, so compare them there and check which ones include multi-branch before you choose. You can start the free trial with your first shop and add the next when you are ready.

Because POS2026 runs in a web browser, a new site needs a computer, laptop or tablet and an internet connection, not an installation. Scanners and receipt printers are optional extras at each counter.

Browser-based at every site

The same checkout everywhere

Staff at each branch use the same POS Sales screen.

Your own card machines

POS2026 is not a card processor, so each shop keeps its card provider.

03 · Buying for more than one shop

Purchasing for multiple stores without the guesswork.

Supplier orders go through Purchase, with delivery status followed from placed to delivered and stock updated when goods arrive. Purchase history shows what you paid last time, which helps when one larger order could earn a better price from a supplier.

Before ordering, check stock levels and low-stock warnings, then decide whether a line should be reordered or transferred from the branch that has too much. Moving stock you already own is usually cheaper than buying more.

Supplier orders

Record orders and follow their delivery status.

Low-stock warnings

An alert when a product falls below its level.

Purchase history

Past prices and suppliers for the next order.

04 · Reports

Checking how each location is doing.

Stock reports show what you hold, what is low and what has moved. Sales, product, customer and payment reports, the Dashboard and Loss/Profit work from the same records as the rest of the app. How figures for each branch are shown depends on your plan and set-up, so run the reports with real data from both shops during the trial before you rely on them.

Stock reports

Holdings, low stock and movements.

Dashboard

Headline figures, sales charts and alerts together.

How Report works

The modules you will use

The modules a multi-location shop leans on.

Stock transfers are the headline. The rest keeps buying and selling consistent across sites.

Questions

Common questions.

Straight answers for shop owners, based on what POS2026 actually does.

Does POS2026 support multiple stores?

It does where your plan includes multi-branch; compare the plans inside the app before choosing. Stock transfers between branches and locations are part of the Stock module.

Can I transfer stock between locations?

Yes. Transfer options move quantities between branches and locations, and the change is recorded so both counts stay right.

Can I see sales for all my stores in one report?

This page only describes what the modules state: stock reports cover holdings, low stock and movements, and Report covers sales, customers, products and payments. How branch figures are shown depends on your plan, so test it in the free trial or ask us before you commit.

Can I limit what staff at each branch can see?

POS2026 does not offer staff permissions or per-store access controls. If your business needs them, factor that in before you choose.

Does each shop need its own hardware?

Each counter needs a device with a web browser and an internet connection. Scanners and printers are up to you, because POS2026 does not sell hardware.

What is the difference between multi-store and multi-location POS?

They usually mean the same thing, and in the UK you will also see multi site EPOS: one POS account covering more than one site. A location might be a second shop, a stockroom or a regular market pitch.

Keep every branch's stock straight.

Start a free trial with your first shop, then check the plans that include multi-branch when you are ready to add the next.
