We’re excited to introduce Medusa POS, a lightweight, open-source POS starter for retailers on Medusa v2.

Designed for mobile and tablet devices, Medusa POS lets merchants bring their headless commerce into physical retail. No backend changes needed.

Built for Medusa v2, Ready for Retail

If you’re running your store on Medusa, Medusa POS gives your staff a fast and intuitive way to handle in-store sales, fully in sync with your e-commerce operations.

The app connects directly to the Medusa Admin REST API, allowing store clerks to:

  • Scan products using the device camera
  • Search and browse products in a grid layout
  • Select variants, manage quantities, and apply discounts
  • Attach customers and complete draft orders
  • View order history and customer info, all in real time

All from a clean, mobile-first interface that scales seamlessly on tablets.

Why We Built It

Retailers on Medusa often need a POS that fits their setup without complications. Many existing systems are too complex, costly, or difficult to integrate.

We built Medusa POS to offer:

  • Speed: Lightweight interface, ready for real-world retail use
  • Simplicity: No backend changes, just connect via API and go
  • Control: 100% open-source and easy to customize

Whether you’re running a boutique store or scaling across locations, Medusa POS lets your in-store team stay productive and connected.

What the Starter Includes

Medusa POS provides all the essential building blocks to support in-store retail operations:

  • Secure authentication via admin email and password
  • Setup wizard to select or create store sales channel, region, and stock location
  • Product Discovery via search and barcode scanning
  • Variant Selection with live stock visibility
  • Cart Management allowing item addition, quantity updates, and discount application
  • Customer Lookup & Quick Add for fast access to customer profiles
  • Checkout to complete draft orders in one tap
  • Order History with filtering and detail views

The app is built with React Native and Expo, and runs on devices with iOS 15+ or Android 11+.

  • Payment terminal integrations
