Grocery POS features your store actually needs

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.

Market operations

Flexible payment options

Handle any tender type your customers bring to the register.

Integrated payment processing

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.

EBT & SNAP support

Process EBT Cash, EBT Food, and SNAP benefits at the same terminal where you take credit cards. Split one transaction across multiple tender types.

House accounts

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

Flexible Payment Options

Fresh food sales

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

Scanner sales

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.

Deli & 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.

Inventory Management

Checkout

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

Self-checkout

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.

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 & resume transactions

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.

Efficient Self-Checkout

E-commerce

Sell online and stay connected with customers between visits.

Pickup & 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.

circle-check

Receipts & 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.

E-Commerce Solution

Customer loyalty

Reward regulars with built-in loyalty features.

Loyalty points

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.

circle-check

Promotions & 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.

Easy to use for everyone

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

Customizable touchscreen & 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.

Add & edit products from register

Create new products or update existing ones directly from the register.

Grocery POS: Frequently asked questions

What happens if my internet goes down?

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.

With Markt POS, can I check on my store when I'm not there?

Yes. Markt POS runs on the cloud, and Mobile Mode lets you manage your grocery store from any mobile device — not just from a terminal on the floor.

Will my staff be able to learn Markt POS even if they're not tech-savvy?

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.

How much does self-checkout cost with Markt POS, and what's included?

The complete self-checkout stand ships ready to go — hardware and software together. Instead of paying $20k+ for a self-checkout unit, you get the full package from Markt POS for under $5k.

Can I run promotions and custom pricing beyond points in Markt POS?

Yes. Markt POS supports mix-and-match promotions, flexible discounts, custom customer pricing, and customer memberships with configurable discounts and expiration dates. 

How does Markt POS handle complex pricing and discounts at the register?

Markt POS runs standard promotions like mix-and-match and BOGO, plus custom pricing for wholesale and loyalty members. Apply flexible discounts on the fly at checkout. Quantity prompts enforce the correct count for produce and bulk items.

Does Markt POS accept partially approved payments, such as when a customer’s card has insufficient funds?

Yes. When a customer's card doesn't have enough available credit to cover the full amount, Markt POS applies whatever their card approves, rather than declining the transaction entirely. Customers cover the remaining balance with another payment method.

Can Markt POS help manage sales of items that are priced by the unit (like produce or single items)?

Yes. Markt POS prompts cashiers to enter the exact number of items at checkout, which helps prevent pricing errors for produce, bulk items, and high-quantity single-item sales.

Does Markt POS work for a store that’s never had a point of sale system before?

Yes. Many Markt POS customers made the jump from cash registers with no prior system. You can add and edit products directly from the register as you go.
