1What it is and what it is for
A pharmacy POS rings up two very different counters: the front store (OTC, health and beauty, gifts) and the Rx counter (pickup, signature, counselling, FSA/HSA). GetPharmacyPOS covers the front store today and plans the Rx counter.
The pharmacy edition is built on a hosted POS that already runs retail stores in the USA, the UAE and Pakistan. Everything a front store needs is there: barcoded products with variations, lot numbers and expiry dates, reward points and gift cards, stock across several locations, and an online store generated from your catalogue. What is missing is everything that touches a prescription. We say so here, on every page and in the header, because a pharmacist should never have to guess.
2Before you use it
Use it for front-store retail only. Keep prescriptions, patient data and FSA/HSA substantiation on your pharmacy system until each planned feature ships and you have checked it.
| Capability | Status | What that means for you |
|---|---|---|
| OTC, health & beauty, gifts | Works today | Sell, scan, label and report on front-store items now. |
| Lot numbers & expiry dates | Works today | Track lots and expiry on stock, see what expires soon. |
| Online store from your catalogue | Works today | Retail items only. Never prescriptions. |
| Rx pickup queue | Planned | Not available. Use your pharmacy system. |
| Signature capture | Planned | Not available. Keep your current pad and log. |
| FSA/HSA (IIAS) | Planned | Only through certified processors once it ships. |
| PMS integration | Planned | No data moves between systems today. |
| HIPAA / PHI handling | Not claimed | Do not enter patient health information. |
3Works today
Four front-store jobs run on the core POS now: selling OTC and beauty lines, managing lots and expiry, checkout with loyalty and gift cards, and an online store built from your catalogue.
Barcodes, variations, brands, price groups and shelf labels.
Lot numbers, expiry alerts, purchase orders, transfers between stores.
Reward points, gift cards, split tender, receipts in your language.

6How to use it
Sign up, add your location, import products, let the online store generate, then open the register. The sign-up and location steps take about 15 minutes together; import time depends on your catalogue.
Enter your pharmacy name, currency and time zone. No install: it runs in the browser on the owner's hosted platform.
Set the store address, tax rates (sales tax, UAE VAT or Pakistan sales tax), receipt layout and the registers at the counter. Add staff with their own roles.
Upload a CSV of OTC, health and beauty and gift items with barcodes, prices, lot numbers and expiry dates, or add them one by one. Print shelf and barcode labels.
As soon as products exist, an online store is built from the catalogue: products, prices, photos and stock. OTC and retail only — never prescriptions.
Connect a receipt printer and scanner, open the cash register and take the first sale. The Rx steps join this flow only when the planned features ship.

11Questions you may have
Yes, for the front store only. OTC, health and beauty, gifts and general retail run on the core POS today; the Rx counter does not.
The core POS that the pharmacy edition is built on already sells in retail stores: products with variations and barcodes, lot numbers and expiry dates, reward points, gift cards, multi-location stock and an online store generated from your catalogue. You can start a front-store trial with it now. Prescription workflows (pickup, counselling, signature, FSA/HSA substantiation) are not part of it yet, so keep using your pharmacy management system and its POS for anything that touches a prescription.
No. We make no HIPAA claim, the software does not handle protected health information, and we will not sign a Business Associate Agreement until the safeguards exist.
HIPAA applies to how protected health information (PHI) is used, stored and shared. Today the software is a retail POS: it is designed to hold product, stock and sales data, not prescription or patient health data. Before the pharmacy edition handles any PHI we need the technical and administrative safeguards in place and a Business Associate Agreement you can review. The compliance roadmap lists each gate and its honest status.
Not yet. A pharmacy-system (PMS) integration is planned; which systems come first depends on what waitlist pharmacies use.
That is why the waitlist form asks which system you run. Until an integration exists, nothing flows between your PMS and this POS, so it must not be used to ring up prescriptions. When we publish an integration we will name the system, say what data moves in which direction, and document it before anyone is asked to rely on it.
Planned for US pharmacies, through certified processors only. FSA/HSA acceptance depends on an IIAS-capable setup or your store qualifying under the 90% Rule, both run with your processor and SIGIS.
IIAS means the POS flags eligible items from the SIGIS Eligible Product List and sends the eligible amount to the processor. That needs certification work with the processor; we will not claim it until it is done. Read our explainer: FSA/HSA cards at the pharmacy counter.
Because selling a pharmacy POS that cannot yet do Rx pickup, signature capture or HIPAA handling would be dishonest. The waitlist lets us build the pharmacy edition with real pharmacies.
The waitlist is free. Joining tells us your market, how many locations you run and which features you need first. In return you get the founding price and early access to test builds of the planned features, with clear notes on what each build can and cannot do.
They are indicative: the Front Store plan starts at a per-location monthly price shown in your currency on this page, with Rx Ready and Multi-pharmacy tiers planned. Nothing is sold on this site.
Switch between USA, UAE and Pakistan above the price cards to see each market's price, set for that market rather than converted. UAE prices include 5% VAT; US prices are before sales tax; Pakistan prices are plus applicable sales tax. The founding rate is held for the first 12 months after launch, confirmed in writing before you pay anything.
The United States, the United Arab Emirates and Pakistan — the three markets the POS family sells in.
Each market gets its own currency, tax display, receipt layout and payment habits: cards through your processor in all three, Apple Pay in the UAE, JazzCash and Easypaisa in Pakistan as "works with" methods. Pharmacy regulation differs completely between them, which is one more reason the Rx features are planned per market. See Countries.
Yes. The interface and receipts can run in the shop's language, including right-to-left Arabic and Urdu, and you can edit the translations.
This site itself is in English with home, waitlist and contact pages in Spanish, Arabic, Urdu, Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean and Tagalog. See Languages for what translates in the software and how custom translations work.
No. It runs in a web browser on a PC, tablet or phone, with standard receipt printers, barcode scanners, label printers and cash drawers.
Card payments go through the processor you choose, on that processor's terminal. Signature pads for Rx pickup are part of the planned features and will be listed when they are supported.
We reply within 1 business day, ask a few questions about your pharmacy and keep you posted when each planned feature reaches a test build.
No sales calls about features that do not exist yet. If you want the front store now, we help you start a trial on the core POS. You can leave the waitlist at any time from any email we send.
