VoVi review: stock, staff and loyalty for one flat price
VoVi is our POS, so read this one with that in mind. Here is the straight version: what you get for $25 and $39 a month, what is still on its way, and who should look elsewhere.
We make VoVi, so we say plainly where the other system wins.
What you get
VoVi is built for retail shops and counter service: boutiques, gift and specialty stores, convenience and grocery, and cafés where people order at the counter.
Light is $25 per location per month. It covers the register, receipts, products and variants, stock counts and transfers between stores, customers and store credit, a time clock for your team and reports. Pro is $39 and adds loyalty, gift cards, promotions, purchase orders, a register view of stock at other stores, serial and lot tracking, scheduling, commissions, appointments, AI reports, layaway, selling by weight (in beta) and an online store (in beta).
What it costs
There is no contract and you can cancel anytime. Start with a 14-day Pro trial, no card. Pay yearly and you pay for 10 months and get 12. Prices are per location, before tax.
VoVi also sells in Canada, the UK, Ireland, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan and South Africa, with local prices. The app runs in English, French, German and Japanese.
Card payments
Today you keep your own card processor and terminal, and VoVi records the sale. Coming soon in the US: VoVi Pro free with VoVi Payments, at 2.95% per card sale or we match your rate. AMEX is 3.5%. “Match” means the effective rate on a recent statement of yours.
Until it launches, plan for the plan price plus whatever your processor charges.
When VoVi is the better pick
A shop with staff, loyalty and purchase orders is where VoVi stands out. Pro is $39 per location. The same job runs $49 a month on Square Plus (loyalty costs extra), $89 on Lightspeed Retail and $128 on Shopify with POS Pro. Moving stock between stores is already in Light at $25, while Square asks for Premium at $149 to send transfer orders.
You also get to bring your own devices and your own processor, which most bundled systems do not allow.
When to look elsewhere
Full-service restaurants or bars with open tabs: pick Toast or Square for Restaurants. A business that lives on its online store: Shopify POS. A huge catalog with many suppliers: Lightspeed Retail. Want card payments built into the register today: Square, Shopify and Lightspeed have them now.
VoVi’s online store (Pro) is in beta. It handles pickup, shipping and local delivery, and customers cannot pay by card online yet. Each account is one country and one currency.
Test it on your own counter
VoVi is newer and smaller than Square, Shopify or Lightspeed, so the trial matters. Load your own products, ring a sale and a return, receive a delivery, and export your data to a CSV file. If it fits, keep going. If it does not, you have lost nothing.
Does VoVi take card payments?
Not built in yet. Today you keep your own processor and card terminal, and VoVi records the sale. Coming soon in the US: VoVi Payments, 2.95% per card sale or we match your rate, with AMEX at 3.5%.
Is there a contract?
No. You can cancel anytime. The 14-day Pro trial needs no card, and yearly billing means you pay for 10 months and get 12.
Can VoVi run a restaurant?
No. VoVi is built for retail and counter service, not full-service restaurants or bars with open tabs. A coffee cart or a café where people order at the counter works well. For table service, look at Toast or Square for Restaurants.
What does it run on?
A browser on a laptop, tablet or phone you already own, with receipt printers, cash drawers and barcode scanners. Cash and check sales keep working offline.
