In Odoo 20, one point of sale can also accept several currencies at checkout.

Odoo POS FAQs
Is Odoo POS free?
Yes, if it is your only app. Odoo's One App Free plan lets you use one app, such as Point of Sale, free for unlimited users, with the apps it depends on included. As soon as you install a second app, you move to a paid per-user plan. Card terminal hardware and transaction fees are separate.
Does Odoo POS work offline?
Yes. Odoo POS runs in the browser and is built to keep working during temporary network outages, so staff can keep selling, and orders sync once the connection returns. Odoo 20 also extends offline mode across Odoo: users can create and edit records without a connection, not just view them. See what's new in Odoo 20.
Which card terminals work with Odoo POS?
Odoo POS connects out of the box to card terminals from Adyen, Ingenico, Mercado Pago, QFPay, Razorpay, SIX, Stripe, Tyro, Viva.com and Worldline, among others. The terminal reports the result back to Odoo, which validates the order automatically. Our guide to Odoo payment methods explains the setup.
What is new in Odoo POS in Odoo 20?
Odoo 20, released in September 2026, lets one point of sale accept several currencies at checkout, adds service fees to POS orders and self-orders, and creates one global sale per session to simplify accounting entries. The POS also suggests turning order lines into combos for large tables. Meet Odoo 20.
Does Odoo POS need the Inventory app?
Not since Odoo 20: Point of Sale can run with simplified inventory management without installing Inventory. If you do install Inventory, every POS sale updates stock levels in real time across your shops and warehouses, and replenishment rules can reorder automatically. Read our Odoo Inventory guide.
Can customers order and pay by themselves with Odoo POS?
Yes. With self-ordering, customers place orders and pay at a dedicated kiosk or on their own phone. In Odoo 20, they can add notes that appear on the kitchen display, and restaurants can print an order-specific QR code so guests order at the table and pay after their meal.
What hardware do I need for Odoo POS?
Odoo POS runs in a web browser, so a tablet, PC or phone can serve as the till. Receipt printers, cash drawers and barcode scanners connect directly or through an Odoo IoT system, and card payments go through a supported terminal. We can help you choose and set up hardware as part of your Odoo implementation.
