Why Florists Choose Digital Florists POS
Point of Sale for Busy Florist Shops
Retail floristry is more than cash-and-carry. You're taking wedding deposits, booking future deliveries, and selling bouquets, all in the same till session.
Digital Florists POS handles these mixed transaction types in one flow. Built for florists, not supermarkets.
Digital Florists POS is Part of One Integrated System
POS is fully integrated with Orders. Future-dated orders or payments for existing orders sync instantly to your main dashboard.
Handle multiple order types in a single transaction without double-handling. Every deposit, sale, and delivery fee is tracked centrally, eliminating manual reconciliation.
Point of Sale Hardware Flexibility
Use the hardware you have. Making the most of what you already own is good for the environment and your pocket.
Digital Florists POS runs on any modern device with a browser. Easily connect standard cash drawers and receipt printers to your counter computer - professional hardware without the proprietary price tag.
A POS Your Florists Pick Up on Day One
A clean till screen staff can use from their first morning. Split payments and change calculation handle themselves, so there's less to remember and you're not still teaching the POS a week in.
Future-dated orders can be taken at point of sale. Multiple orders and to-go items can be combined in a single transaction. Orders then pass over to the orders dashboard, ready to be made up and delivered.
Point of Sale with Analytics and Stock Control
Know exactly what's selling and when. Track staff performance, identify best-selling bouquets, and optimise your staffing for busy hours.
Integrated stock control and barcode scanning reduce pricing errors and speed up checkout.
Print barcode labels for your bouquet designs and keep your inventory accurate, even during the Mother's Day rush.
“The Point of Sale is really easy to use. I love that we can print barcodes out for our floral products, and scan to populate the POS which also takes the item out of stock. It makes keeping track at peaks so much easier, with fewer errors.”
Common Questions About POS
POS works on any modern device with a screen of 13" or greater. For receipt printer and cash drawer support, you need macOS (latest) or Windows 11.
No. POS is an add-on to Digital Florists Orders. Every POS transaction automatically creates or updates an order in your main dashboard, so everything stays in one place.
When you close a till session, POS shows expected vs actual cash totals, card transaction summaries, and any discrepancies. You can add notes for variances and generate reports for your records.
Yes, POS supports quick user switching. Each staff member logs their transactions under their own account, so you can track individual sales while sharing hardware.
You can mark any payment method you use, such as cash, card, or account. We also support certain payment integrations.
A florist POS is till software built for the way a flower shop sells: walk-in bunches, future-dated delivery orders and wedding deposits taken against existing orders, all in the same till session. A generic retail till handles the first one and leaves the rest in a notebook. A florist POS puts every transaction type on one screen and lands each one in your orders dashboard.
It varies wildly, and many florist systems make you sit through a sales call to find out. Ours is published: Digital Florists POS is an add-on to Digital Florists Orders (plans from £75/mo), and the add-on price is listed openly on the pricing page. There is no proprietary hardware to buy. It runs on a computer you already own, with standard receipt printers, cash drawers and countertop card readers.
Not really. The free till apps that come with some card readers will ring up a bunch of tulips, but they don't know what a future-dated delivery order, a wedding deposit or a relay order is, so the rest of your day still lives in a notebook or has to be rekeyed elsewhere. Digital Florists POS isn't free; it's an add-on to Orders, with both prices published on the pricing page and a 30-day trial with no card needed.
Usually their first morning. The till screen is deliberately plain: scan or pick the product, take the payment, done. Flora manages the front-of-shop team at Booker Flowers in Liverpool and trains every new starter. Her verdict: “Even for someone not tech-savvy, the OMS is manageable.” Split payments and change calculation handle themselves, so there is less to teach and less to get wrong on a busy Saturday.
The basics
What Is a Florist POS?
A florist POS (point of sale) is the till software a flower shop runs at the counter. It takes the payment, prints the receipt and counts the drawer, like any till. The difference is what a flower shop sells across one morning: a walk-in hand-tied, a delivery order for Friday, a wedding deposit against an order quoted last month. A generic retail till handles the first and leaves the rest to a notebook.
Why a generic till falls short in a flower shop
Generic retail POS assumes every sale is take-it-away-now. Floristry isn't. Half of what crosses the counter is for a future date, a different address, or part-paid against a bigger job. A florist POS treats those as normal transactions, not exceptions.
With Digital Florists POS, a future-dated delivery order is taken at the till with the recipient details, address and card message, then passes straight to the orders dashboard for the day it's due. A bride paying a deposit gets it logged against her existing wedding order in the same till session as the walk-in customer behind her. Gift cards, refunds, split payments and account customers all sit in the same flow.
The other half of the job is the end of the day. Till sessions, Z-reports and cash drawer reconciliation are built in, with UK VAT broken down per line and per day, so closing up takes minutes and your accountant gets clean figures.
For UK flower shops
Built for the Way UK Florists Take Payments
Most retail POS software is built for high-volume corner shops or US restaurants. Flower shops are different - mixed transaction types, future-dated orders, wedding deposits, and a queue that doesn't care that it's Mother's Day. Here's how Digital Florists POS handles the specifics that matter on a UK counter.
Chip-and-PIN, contactless and supported card readers
Card payments at a flower shop counter need to be fast and quiet. No fiddling, no “sorry the reader's playing up again.” Digital Florists POS works with standard countertop card readers connected to your till. Chip-and-PIN, contactless and Apple/Google Pay are all handled by the reader itself, so card numbers never touch your computer.
The till sends the amount to the reader, the customer taps or inserts, and the result comes back to the order automatically. No re-keying the amount, no “did that go through?” The transaction shows on screen as soon as the reader confirms it. Split payments are handled in the same flow: take £30 on card, £20 in cash, mark a £10 deposit against the wedding order, all stitched onto a single transaction.
Because the card reader handles the card data, your till never stores card numbers. We also don't ask for card numbers to be typed in. Card details stay on the reader, your shop is never holding card data on its own machine, and swapping a card reader doesn't break the till.
Refunds work the same way. Process from the original transaction and the reader sends the money back to the customer's card. Full audit trail stays attached to the order so you can prove what happened if a refund query lands.
UK VAT done properly - receipts, line items and daily reports
UK VAT is 20% standard rate on cut flowers, arrangements and most florist sundries. Digital Florists POS shows the VAT breakdown on every receipt automatically - net, VAT and gross per line item, plus a totals block at the bottom. No mental arithmetic, no “what was the VAT on that bouquet?”
Receipts are emailed or printed with your VAT number on them, so business customers (hotels, venues, funeral directors who buy from you weekly) get a proper VAT invoice the first time round. Saves the “can you reissue that with VAT on it” phone call.
At the end of the day, the till summary breaks down your takings by VAT rate. Cash and card totals, VAT collected, and a running daily VAT report you can pull straight into your bookkeeping. If your accountant uses Xero or QuickBooks, the figures line up with how they'd expect to see them.
VAT-inclusive pricing is the default - what's on the label is what the customer pays - but you can switch to VAT-exclusive display for trade-only accounts if you sell B2B. Mixed-rate baskets get the right rate applied per line, not blended across the basket.
Z-reports and end-of-day cash drawer reconciliation
Closing the till should take five minutes, not half an hour. At end of day, run a Z-report from the POS and you get a single page showing expected cash, actual cash, card totals by reader, refunds, gift card sales, voids and any discrepancies - for the session, by staff member, with timestamps.
Count the drawer, type the cash total in, and the system tells you if you're up, down or bang on. Variances get flagged with a note field so you can write “short £2 - gave back wrong change to Mrs Jenkins, will recover Monday” and move on. Notes stay attached to the session report - useful when you're reconciling weekly and trying to remember what happened on Tuesday.
Multiple staff on one till? Each user gets their own sub-total inside the Z-report, so you can see who took what without making it feel like a witch-hunt. Gemma uses this at Booker Flowers to spot training gaps quickly - if one florist is consistently off on change, it's a five-minute coaching moment, not a payroll problem.
Z-reports are stored alongside the daily VAT report and the order log, so your accountant can pull a month's worth in one go at quarter-end. Cash drawer reconciliation flows straight through to your orders dashboard too - every till transaction is already an order in the main system, so there's no separate reconciliation to do.
Multi-shop sync for florists with more than one location
If you've got two shops - or a shop and a studio - Digital Florists POS keeps both tills on the same customer list, stock list and orders. A regular who buys from your high-street branch shows up on the studio till the moment they walk in. Stock taken at one location updates the other in seconds. For florists with three or more locations, see how it works across branches on our enterprise page.
Each shop runs its own till sessions and its own Z-reports, so you can reconcile by shop without untangling. But the underlying order, customer and product data is shared - meaning a wedding order taken at Shop A can be fulfilled and delivered from Shop B without any double-entry. Gift cards sold in one shop redeem in the other.
Reporting rolls up across locations at the dashboard level: you see group totals by day, week and month, plus per-shop breakdowns when you want to compare. Useful when you're working out which branch needs more staff on Mother's Day, or which location is carrying the wedding business.
Relay work that lands on the same till as your shop orders
Most UK florist tills can't deal cleanly with relay work - it gets handled on a separate system and the till never sees it. Digital Florists POS sits inside the same platform as the rest of your orders, so relay orders (Interflora, Direct2Florist, FloristPro and the rest) appear on the till's order list alongside your phone, walk-in and website work.
That doesn't mean the till takes the payment for a relay order - payment is settled through the relay network as normal. It means when a relay order needs prepping, dispatching or marking complete, your shop floor staff don't switch systems. They tap the order on the same till they're using for the walk-in customer in front of them, mark it ready, and it slots into the day's deliveries.
End-of-day Z-reports keep relay orders separate from cash-taking totals so your reconciliation stays clean. The relay revenue is tracked in each integration, the till tracks shop-floor revenue - no muddling of the two.
A day in the shop
How Florists Use the POS Day-to-Day
The till isn't a feature list - it's whatever stops you reaching for a calculator, a notebook or a separate browser tab. Here's what a real shop day looks like running on Digital Florists POS.
Opening up - float in, session started
First in the door types their cash float into the POS, opens a till session, and the day begins. Anyone arriving later switches to their own user with a tap - no shared logins, no “whose till is this” confusion. The session timer runs in the background so close-out is one button at the end of the day.
Walk-in customer wants a hand-tied - scan, take payment
Customer picks an arrangement off the display. Florist scans the barcode label, the cart fills, customer taps their card on the reader, receipt prints. Stock comes down by one automatically. Whole transaction is twenty seconds, no “hang on, let me look that up.”
Phone rings - delivery order taken at the till
Phone order for a Friday birthday delivery. Florist creates the order at the same POS - recipient details, delivery address, card message, the lot - takes the card payment on the same reader, and the order drops straight onto the delivery portal for Friday. No re-keying into a second system.
Wedding consult walks in - take a deposit against the existing order
Bride pops in to pay a deposit on the wedding order you quoted last month. Search her name, take the card payment at the till, mark the amount paid against her wedding order. The order record shows the deposit immediately, so the next time anyone opens it they can see what's been paid and what's still due.
Closing up - Z-report, cash count, lights off
End of day, close the till session. POS shows expected cash, you count the drawer, type the actual figure, and the system flags any variance. Z-report saves to the day's record, daily VAT total updates, all orders taken today already live in the main dashboard ready for tomorrow's prep. Lock up, go home. The next person who opens the till tomorrow morning starts a fresh session with their own float - nothing leftover, nothing carried wrongly.
POS is an add-on to Orders. See pricing for both or read about the order management it sits on top of.
Moving over
Switching From Another Till
Most florists asking about a new POS already have one, and the worry is always the same: the customer list, the order history, and the week where the team has to learn something new mid-trade. Here's how the move works.
What comes over with you
Your customer list comes over: names, contact details and addresses, imported and de-duplicated before you go live. Your product list and prices are set up with you, and barcode labels can be printed for your bouquet designs from day one.
Order history is the conditional one, and we'd rather be straight about it: whether past orders can come across depends on what your previous system lets us export.* We confirm what's possible on your setup call before you commit, so there are no surprises after the switch.
* Order history migration depends on the export options of your previous system.
What week one looks like
Day one, the first person in types the float, opens a till session and starts selling. The screen is plain enough that most staff are taking payments unaided by their first afternoon, and there's no proprietary hardware to wait on. The POS runs in a browser on the counter computer you already own.
Through the week, the rest of the routine settles in: future-dated delivery orders taken at the till, deposits logged against wedding orders, the Z-report at close each evening. By the first weekend, the till is just the till. We don't switch you over the week before a peak, and we stay close while the routine beds in.
Thinking of moving? Book a demo and bring your current setup. We'll tell you honestly what comes across and what doesn't.
When you need a human
Support and Training
The till is the one system you can't have wobble in front of a customer. So support isn't a ticket queue: it's the people who built the software, in the UK, answering you themselves.
Founder support, not a helpdesk script
Digital Florists was co-founded by Gemma Wakerley, who owns and runs Booker Flowers in Liverpool, and Lewis, the engineer who builds the platform. When you ask a question, it's answered by people who know both the till screen and the Saturday it has to survive.
There are no support tickets sent to an outsourced team overseas. If a problem arises, we fix it. If a feature is needed, we build it. That matters most at peak: Valentine's and Mother's Day weeks are exactly when we're most reachable, because we know what those weeks are like from the other side of the counter.
Training that fits around trading
Setup is done with you on a screen-share, not left to a help-centre article. We configure your products, printers and till together, then walk your team through a real transaction flow: a walk-in sale, a delivery order, a deposit, a refund, a till close.
After that, most new starters learn the till in their first morning, because there isn't much to learn. When someone does get stuck, they ask us directly and a person who built the software answers, not a reply-within-48-hours autoresponse.
Everything Works Together
Orders sync to deliveries. Events generate production lists. POS updates inventory. No double-entry, no switching between apps.
