Our verdict: Hiboutik
Best for retail shops, independent boutiques, and tradespeople in France who want a POS certified under French VAT anti-fraud law (NF525) for nearly zero cost and an open API to hook up their online store; from elsewhere, only the free tier and the API argue for it, since the product is written for the French market. Not for you in restaurant service with table management, where the absence of a seating plan and kitchen routing is blocking, or if you seek the POS and payment terminal in one contract.
Our verdict: SumUp
Best for merchants, tradespeople, and small restaurateurs trading in France who want a POS certified under French VAT anti-fraud law (NF525) without a mandatory subscription, and a payment terminal in the same contract. Outside France the certification means nothing to you and SumUp competes on its commission and its hardware alone. Not for you if you manage a restaurant with complex table service or multiple locations: floor management and multi-site control lag well behind specialized restaurant POS systems.
