Pros

“A sudden "policy change" and now we're getting a additional $400 per month charge on top of our subscription fee until we switch to their merchant card service. ”

Matt C.

Pres

“I also had to get a separate plugin (from a 3rd-party) in order to fully get my POS and website to sync.”

Carleton T.

Admin

“It’s gives you a report graph to compair sales in whatever period or in categories.”

Amile B.

Administrator

Pros

“Woo is an extremely robust system that has seemingly unlimited potential for customization, which is exactly what we needed. While researching a new system, we were amazed to find how homogeneous most solutions were, offering absolutely no flexibility for more complex business needs.”

Lauren D.

Brand and Marketing Director

“This has allowed us to track the front ends repair time with various skus and customer labels.”

Makayla O.

Sales

“WooPOS is very to easy to use and extremely flexible to meet our specific needs.”

SAEED S.

Accounting Manager

Cons

“After explaining the situation and providing written proof of what had been promised to me, [sensitive content hidden] assured me that the fee would be credited back to my account and that it wouldn’t be charged again until the end of my subscription term in May. If we don’t sign up with them for credit card processing before May, they will continue to charge us $ 930 per month for not processing with them. While the issue was eventually resolved as far as crediting us the $ 930, (after significant delays and frustration), the experience left a bad taste.”

Giuliana F.

co owner

“I’m now out over $2,000 for IT fees, paying more than $300 per month for a service that wasn’t what I was promised, and I’m now looking for a new POS system, because we do not want to process with them because of the bad reputation that they have with the credit card processing. ”

Giuliana F.

co owner

“Long wait time for customer support, and we were lied to by not being transparent about credit card fees for not processing with Lightspeed”

Giuliana F.

co owner

Cons

“One challenge with Woo is that it cannot be run on mac operating systems, which was admittedly a bit of a hurdle for us (though a solution is in the works to my understanding!).”

Lauren D.

Brand and Marketing Director

“There is a lot that you can translate, invoices, the POS to be easily used. But sometimes it can create bugs on normal operation when trying to translate some strings like in the day/end tab.”

Francois S.

President

“The POS software we previously used did not have nearly the customizability that Woo has.”

Jen C.

Store Manager
