The problem

Where grocery checkout gets expensive.

Thin margins

Every card fee comes out of a margin that was thin to begin with.

Lines at the lane

A slow lane on a Saturday sends shoppers down the street.

EBT and weighed items

A general-purpose register fumbles EBT, WIC, and the scale, and your line feels it.

Fees you can't read

Pages of line items and no plain answer on what checkout costs you.

Most popular options

The grocery setups we put in most.

We recommend the system that best fits your store and your lanes. These are the three markets pick most.

Pricing options

Three ways to price a market.

Grocery margins are thin, so your statements decide which program costs you less.

$0-fee option

Dual pricing

Two prices on every ticket: one for cash, one for card. Card customers cover the card cost. The card price applies to all cards, debit included.

Example: an item with an $85.00 cash price shows an $88.40 card price, a 4% difference. This is an example, not a quote. Your card price is set when we set up your program.

How dual pricing works →

$0-fee option

Cash discount

One posted price, with a discount for customers who pay cash. We set up the signage and receipts so it's clear at checkout.

Cash discount vs. dual pricing →

One price for everyone

Interchange-plus

You pay what the card networks charge, plus a fixed markup you can see on every statement. Your customers see one price.

What is interchange-plus? →

Not sure which fits? Send your last 2 statements. We price each option against what you pay now and show you the difference in dollars.

Who it's for

Where it fits.

Grocery stores

Weighed items and cost tracking on every cut.

Specialty markets

Inventory and promotions for a changing shelf.

Hardware

Checkout hardware for every lane.

OctoPOS runs on checkout hardware from Epson, Star Micronics, Magellan, CAS, ACOM, and Zebra. We match the equipment to your lanes, and qualifying merchants get it free with no lease.

Scanner scales and deli scales

Magellan scanner-scales at the lane, plus CAS and ACOM deli scales, so weighed items ring up at the right price.

Receipt printers and cash drawers

Epson and Star Micronics thermal printers and cash drawers.

Label printers

Zebra label printers for barcode and price labels.

Customer displays

Shoppers see their items and join your rewards at checkout.

Card readers

EMV chip, tap, and EBT at the register.

Example setups

How markets set it up.

A two-lane neighborhood market

Busy weekends and a lot of EBT customers.

Setup: OctoPOS on both lanes with EBT, WIC, and PIN debit at the register.

A carnicería

Most items are sold by weight.

Setup: OctoPOS with a scanner scale, so weighed items ring up at the right price.

A corner store

A small counter and thin margins.

Setup: OctoPOS with $0-fee dual pricing, plus the signage and receipts to match.

A specialty market with an online store

In-store shoppers plus online orders.

Setup: OctoPOS connected to Shopify or WooCommerce, so inventory stays in one place.

A deli and meat counter

Weighed items and price labels all day.

Setup: CAS or ACOM deli scales with Zebra label printers, connected to OctoPOS.

These are examples. Your setup is based on how your business runs and what you process.
