Suki POS is designed so a small business can start with one store, one product catalog, and one checkout workflow before adding more growth tools.

1. Create your account

Download Suki POS on iOS or Android and create your account. New merchants start with Suki Free, which includes core checkout tools, one active store, customers, basic Perks loyalty, Today and Yesterday reports, basic inventory, and 1 active campaign (the included Perks Points campaign).

New accounts can also try the 14-day Suki Pro trial to evaluate the single-store growth tools before choosing a paid plan.

2. Set up your store

Add your store name, business details, address, and accepted payment methods. Suki does not take a cut of sales; payment processing remains separate from your Suki plan.

Start with one store profile. If your business needs multiple stores, consolidated cross-store operations, or inter-store transfers, that belongs in SUKI Multi-Store rather than the self-serve paid path.

3. Add products

Create the products your team sells most often first. Add prices, categories, barcodes, images, variants, and stock tracking where helpful.

Free includes basic inventory. Suki Pro adds Stock History and CSV execution for merchants who need deeper single-store operations and cleaner data workflows.

4. Set up Team & Access

Use Team & Access to add staff, assign roles, and protect checkout actions with PINs. Suki includes preset roles for common store needs.

Suki Pro adds custom roles for stores that need more granular team permissions.

5. Bring Perks into checkout

Invite customers to use Suki Perks so they can claim and use rewards through the Suki ecosystem. At checkout, cashiers apply eligible rewards when the customer is ready to use them.

This keeps loyalty tied to the sale without promising background redemption or unattended checkout behavior.

6. Use your included campaign

On Free, Suki automatically activates a Perks Points campaign for your store — customers who join Suki Perks start earning points right away without any further setup. To adjust the reward structure or try a different campaign type, start a Suki Pro trial where you can create and configure campaigns freely.

Want to run a second campaign — like a return-visit offer or a paired add-on — alongside your Points program? Start a Suki Pro trial to unlock additional active campaigns and advanced targeting.

Suki Pro adds advanced campaign targeting, performance insights, and more control over campaign execution for one active store.

7. Know when to upgrade

Stay on Free when you need core checkout tools, basic Perks loyalty, basic inventory, customers, and simple campaign limits for one store.

Upgrade to Suki Pro when you need advanced targeting, performance insights, advanced reports, Stock History, CSV execution, custom roles, and receipt customization for single-store growth.
