POS software prices in Egypt 2026 — the full cost guide

Last updated: September 15, 20262 min readKashir team

The first question every store or restaurant owner asks before buying POS software is “how much will it cost?”. The honest answer: the software price is only one part of the bill. This guide breaks down pricing models in Egypt, the costs that appear after you buy, and real hardware prices — so you budget right the first time.

1. How POS software is priced in Egypt

Monthly or yearly subscription

A fixed fee per month or year that usually includes updates, support and backups. Low upfront cost, and you can change plans as your business changes.

Lifetime licence

A larger one-time payment. Check the details: are future updates free, is support paid after year one, and is the licence locked to one device? Many “lifetime” licences need an annual maintenance fee.

Free software

Fine for testing or a very small shop, but usually without support, guaranteed backups or a mobile app.

2. What drives the price

Number of registers and devices.
Branches and warehouses with sync and stock transfers.
A mobile app to watch sales and stock remotely.
Your trade: tables and kitchen tickets for restaurants, ingredient search and expiry alerts for pharmacies, scale barcodes and offers for supermarkets.
Accounting: customers, suppliers, credit sales and financial reports in the same system.
Arabic support on WhatsApp and phone.

3. Kashir plan prices

4. Hidden costs to ask about

Setup and item entry.
Training for cashiers and managers.
Data migration from old software or spreadsheets.
Renewal price after year one.
Hardware compatibility with your printer and scanner.
Internet outages: a POS that works offline saves you a lost day.

5. POS hardware prices in Egypt

The lowest current price in each category from the Kashir hardware store (cash on delivery):

Category	Device	From
Thermal receipt printer	Bluetooth Printer 58mm Portable	1,200 EGP
Barcode scanner	USB Wired 1D Scanner	850 EGP
Cash drawer	Compact Cash Drawer 350mm	1,500 EGP

6. Example: equipping a small shop

Hardware (one-time)	3,550 EGP approx.
Kashir Starter plan	299 EGP per month

Bottom line

The cheapest option is not always the best value. Calculate the full cost, choose software that works offline with real support, and test it on your own business first. Start with Kashir systems free for 14 days.

FAQ

Questions on this topic

How much does POS software cost in Egypt?

Subscription POS software starts around 299 EGP per month for one register, rising with devices, branches and the mobile app. Always calculate the full cost: software + hardware + setup + support.

Is a monthly subscription better than a lifetime licence?

A subscription costs less upfront and usually includes updates and support; a lifetime licence is paid once but updates and support are often extra. Compare the cost over three years, not the first month.

What hardware do I need?

A PC or POS terminal, a thermal receipt printer, a barcode scanner if you sell barcoded items, and a cash drawer. Restaurants often add a kitchen printer.

Can I try before I pay?

Yes — Kashir gives you a full-featured 14-day trial with no credit card, so you can confirm the fit before committing.
