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.
Built by grocers for grocers, Markt POS is a cloud-based POS system with all the features you need baked in.
Handle any tender type your customers bring to the register.
Accept cash, checks, credit, debit, Apple Pay, and contactless through Vantiv and WorldPay — even when offline. Split one transaction across multiple tender types. PIN debit includes cash back, penny rounding handles odd cents, and quick price lookup checks prices at the register.
Process EBT Cash, EBT Food, and SNAP benefits at the same terminal where you take credit cards. Split one transaction across multiple tender types.
Let regulars run a tab and pay later. Track on-account balances by customer and accept payments when they’re ready.
Speed up checkout for items sold by weight or made to order.
Connect scanner scales at checkout and the deli counter to ring up produce, meat, and bulk items by exact weight up to 4 decimal places. ePlum software sends pricing to all deli scales to keep them in sync, and taxes calculate up to 4 decimal places.
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.
Keep lanes moving during busy hours and track drawer activity by shift.
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.
Track loan-ins, pay-outs, and closeouts by shift. Blind closeout prevents employees from seeing expected totals before counting their drawer.
Pause a transaction mid-scan when someone needs to grab a forgotten item, then pick up right where you left off without re-scanning items. Handle fees, bottle deposits, and CRV calculations automatically at checkout.
Sell online and stay connected with customers between visits.
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.
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.
Reward regulars with built-in loyalty features.
Collect opted-in phone numbers so customers automatically earn points for every purchase. Apply employee, family, and percentage discounts at the register. Physical loyalty cards require a third-party vendor.
Run mix-and-match, buy X get Y, cumulative, and category-based promotions. Set up tiered memberships with different discount levels and expiration dates.
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.
Sell gift cards with your store's branding at the register. Customers can purchase, reload, and redeem in one transaction.
Set up a reliable, intuitive system that matches your operations.
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.
Create new products or update existing ones directly from the register.
Use standard grocery equipment you already own, like Zebra scanners and CAS scales. Markt POS works with a wide range of common hardware.
Connect a customer-facing display so shoppers can see their items and total as you ring them up.
Prompt cashiers for ID checks on age-restricted items and log completed restricted sales by employee.
Manage store data and monitor sales in real time from any device via the cloud.
Set different cash and credit prices to offset fees or, if your state allows, add surcharges at checkout.
Connect a dedicated price checker device for quick, self-service product lookup.
Apply approved card amounts instead of declining sales, and set refund or change limits by employee.
Markt POS integrates with your accounting software, e-commerce solution, delivery platform, and more — so you don’t have to manage everything separately.
If your internet goes down, Markt POS continues running. Store and Forward Payments lets your team process transactions offline, and the system automatically syncs every sale once your connection’s back up.

Markt POS gives you a customizable touchscreen layout, a visual picture gallery so staff can add products by tapping an image, and a smart search lookup so nobody has to memorize PLUs. You set it up the way your store works.
