What does it cost?
As of July 2026, Jovvie's plans ran from free to $29 a month, and BizSwoop charged a platform fee of 0.5% to 2.5% per transaction on top of the subscription.
WCPOS is free, with no caps on products, orders, customers, or cash sales. Pro is $129 — a one-time payment covering one year of updates and priority support — or $399 lifetime. It never auto-renews, and Pro keeps working after the year ends: nothing switches off, ever. WCPOS charges no transaction fees; you pay your payment processor's own rates.
A percentage fee grows with your sales. At 0.5% to 2.5%, every $10,000 of sales that carries the fee costs $50 to $250 in platform fees, before the subscription and your card processor's own rates. WCPOS Pro costs the same $129 or $399 however much you sell.
Pro adds: multi-store management, card-terminal integrations, coupons, refunds via the POS API, order history, customer management at the register, store-specific pricing, stock and price editing, end-of-day reports, and the extension directory.

Where Jovvie is genuinely better
An honest comparison cuts both ways:
- A higher WordPress.org rating: 4.5 stars as of July 2026, against 3.7 for WCPOS.
- A listing on the official WooCommerce Marketplace. WCPOS is distributed through WordPress.org and wcpos.com.
If you prefer a monthly plan to a one-time payment, take cards through Stripe Terminal, and your sales volume keeps the per-transaction fee small, Jovvie may be all you need.

Frequently asked questions
Does Jovvie charge transaction fees?
As of July 2026, yes: BizSwoop charged a platform fee of 0.5% to 2.5% per transaction on top of Jovvie's subscription, which ran from free to $29 a month. Check Jovvie's own pricing page for the current rates. WCPOS charges no transaction fees; you pay only your payment processor's own rates.
Does Jovvie work offline?
Our research has not established whether Jovvie works without an internet connection, so ask BizSwoop before you rely on it. WCPOS stores products, customers, and carts locally, so you can browse the catalog and build sales without a connection; completing checkout requires server connectivity.
Can I use a Stripe card reader with WCPOS?
Yes, with WCPOS Pro. Its card-terminal integrations include Stripe Terminal, alongside SumUp, PayPal Reader (Zettle), Square Terminal, Mollie Terminal, and Vipps MobilePay.
Does Jovvie have native apps?
As of July 2026, Jovvie had no native apps. WCPOS runs in any modern browser, as desktop apps for Windows and macOS, and as iOS and Android apps (beta).
What happens when a WCPOS Pro license expires?
Nothing switches off. The Pro version you have keeps working for as long as you want — your register, your data, every feature. You stop receiving new updates and priority support until you choose to renew. This is deliberate: it means renewals have to be earned with updates worth paying for, and it guarantees your point of sale can never be remotely disabled.
