Magestore PWA POS — bank compatibility

Magestore PWA POS is a point-of-sale system for automotive, books, butchers and grocers and fashion and apparel, and 7 more. Not a till company at all — it is the POS extension for Magento, and your website is the system of record.

Tyro only. Tyro is its own middleware and its own acquirer, so this one comes with the bank attached — moving bank means a new integration.

Certified to do split bills. Tyro rates it a Power Up partner.

Magestore was founded in 2009, right after Magento launched, grew up out of Hanoi and went remote-first in 2020. It says it has over 10,000 customers with retailers in more than 50 countries, and it bills itself as the leading POS provider for Magento and Shopify. The PWA POS is the progressive web app build — it runs in a browser on a tablet or a laptop rather than as installed software.

This is the thing to get straight before you compare it against an Australian POS. With Magestore, Magento (now Adobe Commerce) is the brain: products, prices, stock and customers live in your ecommerce platform and the till is a window onto it. That is excellent if you already run Magento and your shop is an extension of your website, and it is the wrong architecture if your store is the main business and the website is an afterthought. It also means your POS roadmap is tied to your ecommerce platform's.

Named customers skew small-to-mid and international — a pet retailer in Canada, a dairy in Chile, tile and plumbing in the US, a vape retailer and a boutique in the UK, an adult retailer in Australia. Tyro certifies it at Power Up tier and tags it unusually broadly, from butchers and grocers to pharmacy, veterinary, sports and hardware, which reflects that it is industry-agnostic rather than that it is specialised anywhere.
