How YellowPOS compares
Straight comparisons against the platforms Lebanese businesses actually weigh us against — including the cases where the other one is the better choice.
Every comparison lists what each platform does well, what it costs in practice, and who should pick which.
YellowPOS vs Shopify
The global store builder versus a platform built for Lebanon.
Shopify wins on international selling and its app ecosystem. YellowPOS wins on Whish and cash on delivery, dual USD/LBP pricing, and having the POS, QR menu, and bookings included.

A payments-led POS that does not operate in Lebanon.
Square is unavailable to Lebanese merchants, and its model depends on card processing. YellowPOS charges a flat fee, needs no hardware, and treats cash and Whish as first-class.

Self-hosted WordPress versus a hosted platform.
WooCommerce offers unlimited control if you have development help. YellowPOS removes hosting, updates, security, and plugin licences from your list entirely.

Restaurant depth versus all-round breadth.
Foodics goes deeper on kitchen and multi-branch operations. YellowPOS covers a single-site restaurant while also handling retail, services, bookings, and an online store.

What is the best POS and online store platform in Lebanon?
For most small and medium Lebanese businesses, the deciding factors are local payments, dual USD/LBP pricing, and whether the POS, online store, QR menu, and bookings come together or have to be assembled. YellowPOS is built around those constraints, with plans from $15 to $50 per month and a 30-day free trial. International platforms like Shopify and Square are stronger for selling abroad or in markets where card processing is standard.
How much does YellowPOS cost?
Startup is $15 per month and includes a 30-day free trial. Store is $25 per month and Corporate is $50 per month. Extra user accounts are $5 per month each. There is no commission on sales and no separate charge for the POS, online store, QR menu, or booking page.
Does YellowPOS work for businesses other than restaurants?
Yes. It is used by retail and grocery shops, salons, barbershops, spas, tattoo studios, repair shops, photographers, tutors, and freelancers, as well as restaurants and cafés. Product, service, and digital-download selling are all supported from the same account.
Can I accept payments in Lebanon with YellowPOS?
Yes. Whish Money and cash on delivery are built in with no gateway account or third-party plugin required, and in-store sales can be recorded as cash or any other method you accept. Prices display in both USD and LBP from a single exchange rate you control.
