FPPOS — bank compatibility

FPPOS is a point-of-sale system for retail, built by Flower Power. Not something you can buy — this is the Sydney garden centre chain Flower Power's own in-house till.

Certified on Linkly, running on premise. Linkly reaches more acquirers than any other middleware in the market, which is why most POS start there.

The Linkly integration runs on premise.

Flower Power is a garden centre group, not a software vendor, and FPPOS is its own point of sale. The business was built up by founder Nick Sammut and grew largely by buying existing nurseries rather than building new ones. By 2019 it was running ten nurseries under three Sammut brothers, with John Sammut as chief executive.

That year it sold its original Moorebank nursery for $30 million, after the site became available for residential development, and put the money into a 6,000 square metre flagship at Milperra — retractable roofs driven by a computerised weather station reading humidity, wind and sun, Italian capillary irrigation tables, a recycled water filtration system it developed itself, solar supplying around 60% of the centre's energy, and digital signage throughout. The brothers set out to roll the new technology across the other nine stores. Ownership has since moved on: Flower Power is recorded as a subsidiary of the Sydney investment firm Alceon Group.

For a merchant reading this row, the useful fact is what it is — a retailer's internal system certified to talk to a payment terminal, not a product on sale. If you are comparing it, you either work at Flower Power or you are on the wrong page.

Flower Power also has FPPOST.
