THE QUICK ANSWER

Test a POS with the transactions your business actually makes. Check stock handling, connectivity, costs, support and whether you can export your data.

A shop, restaurant and service business can have different stock and payment workflows. Use this guide to plan a practical demonstration, then contact relevant software advertisers on the board. A promotion is not proof that an app supports a particular integration or regulatory requirement.

Write down the transactions you need to handle

List the products or services you sell, how you receive stock, who operates the till and how you currently record payments. Describe returns, discounts, unpaid balances and multiple selling prices if they are part of your business. Ask the provider to demonstrate those exact cases.

  • Cash and any payment methods you currently accept.
  • Stock purchases, damaged items, returns and adjustments.
  • Staff roles, reports and multiple branches if needed.
  • Receipts, customer balances and daily closing records.

Test the system rather than relying on screenshots

Use sample data to create a sale, return an item, receive new stock and review the day’s report. Check which actions require internet and what happens when connectivity is restored. Ask which devices and printers are supported before purchasing hardware.

Test offline sales and mobile-money recording separately

Ask the provider to disconnect a demo device, make a sale and reconnect it. Check which functions remain available, where the record is stored and what happens if two devices update stock while disconnected. An offline-first description is a claim to test, not proof that every workflow works offline.

Ask whether mobile-money payments are entered manually or confirmed through a named integration. Test a pending payment, a failed payment and a refund using a safe demo. A receipt or ledger entry alone is not proof that funds were received.

Check an EFRIS claim with the provider and URA

Ordinary POS receipts and EFRIS invoicing are different functions. URA describes several EFRIS channels, including system-to-system integration. If you need it, ask which exact product and integrator connects to URA, how invoice confirmation is shown and how corrections are handled.

Check current requirements and integration information with URA. None of the directory’s POS posts is treated as accredited or compliant merely because it mentions invoices. Ask for a demonstration and independently check the provider’s evidence before choosing a system.

Compare ownership costs and support

Separate subscription charges from installation, training, hardware, updates and payment-processing fees. Ask who provides support, during which hours, and how you recover access after replacing a device. If compliance or an integration matters, verify its current status with the responsible organisation; do not rely only on the sales description.

  • Setup, recurring charges and any per-user or branch fees.
  • Hardware, receipt printer and connectivity requirements.
  • Training, support response and update arrangements.
  • What remains accessible if you stop subscribing.

Check data access and recovery

Request a demonstration of exports and backups. Ask who can change prices, delete transactions or view business reports. Use unique staff accounts where supported and decide who controls the main account. Keep an independent copy of essential business records.

Common questions

Which POS is best for a Ugandan shop?

There is no single recommendation here. Compare systems against your transactions, stock requirements, devices, connectivity and support needs using a live demonstration.

Do advertised apps automatically support mobile money or EFRIS?

No. Confirm each required integration directly and verify any compliance claim with the responsible organisation before purchasing.

Can I list my software product?

Yes. Explain what it does and who it is for, choose a relevant category, and link to a product page or contact. Posting costs UGX 10,000 once.
