FreedomShop

FreedomShop brings customer management, point of sale and inventory together for retail stores. Keep customer contact details, purchase histories, charge accounts and outstanding orders alongside the register sales and back-office records they belong to.

Your data stays on your own server. There’s no subscription or per-register fee.

Customer management

Maintain customer records with contact details and purchase history. Manage charge accounts, record payments and review outstanding balances. Track customer layaways and special orders, including deposits, additional payments and orders awaiting pickup. Point of sale

Ring up sales by scanning barcodes or searching for items. Record cash, check, card and gift certificate payments, including split payments. Handle returns, exchanges and held receipts. Print receipts with your store’s details and return policy. Inventory and purchasing

Track on-hand, held and available quantities. Organize items by department and vendor. Create purchase orders, receive deliveries and check reorder lists. Print price tags and labels. Reports and staff access

Review daily totals, sales tax, sales by vendor, inventory and customer balances. Set your own tax rates, locations and exemptions. Give each staff member a login, with manager-only screens restricted. FreedomShop runs on a Debian or Ubuntu server in your store. Register computers connect through a web browser on Windows, macOS or Linux. It records card payments; actual processing stays with your card processor and terminal.

The source code is available under the AGPL-3.0-or-later license. Installers and an optional Docker setup are coming soon. It’s new software: test it alongside your current system and verify daily totals before relying on it.

You can install and run FreedomShop yourself. Professional setup, migration, training and support are available separately from TechQuest.
