What do Saida businesses need from a POS?
Saida is the commercial centre of the South, with trade that still runs through the old souk behind the Sea Castle, the shops along Riad al-Solh Street, and the fishing port. Much of it is family-run: the same shop, the same customers, and often the same notebook, for decades.
That notebook usually holds two things a POS has to replace properly — the day's sales and the running accounts of regular customers who pay at the end of the week or month. If the system cannot keep those accounts, the notebook never goes away.
The city's bakeries and sweets shops, groceries, and fishmongers sell a lot by weight, and a growing number of customers in Abra, Haret Saida, and the surrounding towns expect to order on WhatsApp and have it delivered.

How do I replace the customer notebook?
Add each regular customer as a client and record what they owe as a debt. Every payment is logged against it, the balance updates automatically, and the Debts page shows who still owes what — with nothing lost if the notebook gets wet or goes missing.
Does it work through power and internet cuts?
Yes. Once the POS has loaded, it keeps selling with no connection. Each sale is stored on the device and uploads automatically when the internet returns. On a laptop or tablet with a charged battery, a generator switchover does not interrupt the sale in progress.
Frequently asked questions
Does YellowPOS work in Abra, Ghazieh, and Sarafand?
Yes. It runs in any browser, so it works the same in the old city, the suburbs, and the towns along the coast. Give each area you deliver to its own fee.
What is the best POS system for a small shop in Saida?
One that costs little, needs no special hardware, handles USD and LBP, and can keep customer accounts. YellowPOS does all four and adds an online store, from $15 a month with a 30-day free trial.
I have never used a POS. Is it hard to start?
Most shops start by adding their best-selling products, or importing them from an Excel sheet, and making a test sale on a phone. Help is available on WhatsApp, and the Store and Corporate plans include training sessions.
Can customers order on WhatsApp?
Yes. Your online store has a WhatsApp button, and you can send customers product links. Orders placed on the store arrive in your dashboard with the delivery area and a Google Maps pin.
Can I sell by the kilo?
Yes. Set a product's unit to kilograms and enter the price per kilo. Quantities can be decimals, and labels from a barcode-printing scale can be scanned directly.
How much does it cost?
$15 a month for one user, $25 for five, or $50 for twenty, with no commission on sales. Every plan starts with a 30-day free trial.
