I can't recall the name of the old software we used but it was old and no longer updated but free. The bike kitchen in san francisco has made its own web based pos set up that it offers for free.

How did you get it for free? LightSpeed has told me they might be able to give a discount, but not free. (And at $80/month for 1 register and 3 volunteers, I doubt even a steep discount would work for us.) MerchantWarehouse also only serves US customers.

We've been looking into using Square Register's POS system; doesn't seem as fully-featured as MerchantOS/LightSpeed, but aside from initial capital costs (iPad, holder, and optional cash drawer) and the transaction fees, it's free!  (We've mostly just been holding out for a free/cheap iPad.)

Recycle-A-Bicycle just switched to Merchant Warehouse. It was recently bought by Lite Speed, so mot sure how this will affect the system. We like it now.

Cycle Transitions, a small do-it-yourself bike shop in Cobourg, Ontario has been in existence for a year now and we're happy to say that it's been a great success (25+ volunteers, 80+ members, a busy shop, high school students doing community service hours, and ~$7000 income from sales, memberships and donations!) We feel we're ready to take another step in our development - a real cash system including cash box and point of sale software. We'd like to know what other shops are using and how you integrate this with your accounting. Please let us know what's working for you.

thanks!
