Grocery POS system built by grocers, for grocers

Most grocery store owners think a generic retail POS will work fine — until they realize it can’t connect to their scales, requires a separate EBT terminal, and charges extra for loyalty programs.

Markt POS is a cloud-based grocery point of sale solution with scanner scales, EBT and SNAP, and loyalty built right into the system. Add self-checkout when you're ready.

Grocery POS system features built for the way grocers work

From offline payments to EBT processing, see what Markt POS handles from day one.

Fast, integrated payments

Cut manual errors and wait times at the register with payment processing built into your grocery POS.

Standard payment types

Accept cash, checks, credit, debit, and contactless payments, including Apple Pay, through Vantiv and WorldPay. PIN debit includes cash back, and penny rounding handles odd cents. 

circle-check

EBT and SNAP support, no separate terminal

Ring up EBT Cash, EBT Food, and SNAP on your credit card terminal. Eligible items are separated automatically, and the balance splits across any other tender type.

House accounts

Let regulars run a tab and pay later. Track on-account balances by customer and accept payments when they’re ready. 

Grocery POS software with flexible payment options

Fresh food sales

Speed up checkout for items sold by weight or made to order.

Scanner scale integration

Connect scanner scales at checkout and label-printing scales at the deli counter to ring up produce, meat, and bulk items by exact weight. Sync prices to compatible deli scales, print labels with the price embedded in the barcode, and calculate weights and taxes up to four decimal places. Weights come straight from the scale, so cashiers don't have to key them in by hand.

Deli and prepared foods

Send orders to the prep area with modifiers for toppings, portion sizes, or special requests. Handle QSR pickup and delivery through Mercato, Local Express, Freshop, and eGrowcery.

Checkout

Keep lanes moving during busy hours and track drawer activity by shift.

circle-check

Self-checkout

Add self-checkout to your grocery POS system. Let customers scan, bag, and pay with cards on their own while your team monitors from a central terminal and steps in for voids or age-restricted items. Self-checkout is card-only to keep maintenance costs low. 

circle-check

Cash drawer management

Track loan-ins, pay-outs, and closeouts by shift. Blind closeout prevents employees from seeing expected totals before counting their drawer.

circle-check

Suspend and resume transactions

Pause a sale mid-scan when a shopper needs to grab a forgotten item, then resume without re-scanning. Process refunds with or without the item and receipt.

circle-check

Fees, bottle deposits, and CRV

Add bottle deposits, CRV, and other fees to the sale automatically. Set custom tax rules and tax exemptions to match your state.

Pickup and delivery

Accept pickup and delivery orders online through our in-house e-commerce integration, plus third-party integrations with Instacart, Mercato, Local Express, Freshop, and eGrowcery.

Receipts and promotions

Print, email, or text receipts to customers. Edit the header and footer to add your logo, return policy, or promotional messaging. Include promo codes on text receipts and print bounce-back coupons that customers can redeem on their next visit.

Customer loyalty

Reward regulars with built-in loyalty features.

Loyalty points

Collect opted-in phone numbers so customers automatically earn points for every purchase, with no card to carry or lose. Apply employee, family, and percentage discounts at the register. Physical loyalty cards require a third-party vendor.

Promotions and memberships

Run mix and match, buy X, get Y, cumulative, and category-based promotions. Set up tiered memberships with different discount levels and expiration dates.

Digital marketing

Integrate with 200+ CRMs, 87 email services, and 100 SMS platforms through third parties for marketing campaigns. Let customers redeem digital coupons at the register.

Gift cards

Sell gift cards with your store's branding at the register. Customers can purchase, reload, and redeem in one transaction.

Invoice scanning

Scan or snap a photo of a paper invoice, even a handwritten one, and your inventory updates automatically. No more typing in invoices by hand. 

circle-check

Price and label updates

Set a target margin by department, and get suggested prices when your costs change. Update prices individually, in batches, or by department, then print new shelf labels in one step. 

circle-check

Markt POS grocery POS back-office and inventory management tools

A grocery POS every employee can learn

Set up a reliable, intuitive system that matches your operations.

Customizable touchscreen and button layout

Arrange the touchscreen layout to put your most-used items front and center. A visual picture gallery lets staff add products by tapping an image instead of typing, and smart search finds items by partial name or SKU. 

circle-check

Add and edit products from register

Create new products or update existing ones directly from the register. A missing item report lists anything that didn't scan and suggests product details from a database of over a million products — just review and save.

Bring your own hardware

Use standard grocery equipment you already own, like Zebra and Datalogic scanner scales and Hobart, Ishida, and CAS deli scales. Our grocery POS software works with most common hardware, and our team checks compatibility before you buy anything new. Need new hardware? Build your bundle with our custom pricing tool.

Customer display integration

Connect a customer-facing display so shoppers can see their items and total as you ring them up.
