POS & ERP software for Canada

Billing, stock, credit and accounts in CAD, with 5% GST/HST added at the till — and a counter that keeps working when the internet does not. Used by shops in Toronto, Vancouver and Montréal.

Built around how Canada actually trades

Canadian tax is added at the till, not built into the ticket price, and what gets added depends on the province — 5% GST on its own in some, a combined HST in others, with provincial sales tax alongside it elsewhere. Busnipy POS sets Canada up as tax-exclusive with GST at 5%, and leaves the rate for you to set to your province, with per-product overrides for the categories that are treated differently.

What comes with it is the whole business rather than a register: stock, purchases, accounts receivable, real double-entry books, staff and payroll, and fifty-odd reports — installed on your own hardware, licensed per shop.

How shops in Canada get paid

Busnipy POS records cash, Interac, cards, contactless and e-transfer — each one against the bill that used it. Split a single bill across two methods when a customer is short, and close the day with each method totalled separately so the drawer, the terminal and your statement all agree.

Tax the way Canada does it

Busnipy asks one question — your country — and fills in the rest. Pick Canada and this is what the setup wizard applies:

Currency
CAD — Canadian dollar
GST/HST
5%, added at the till
On the invoice
GST/HST No

A rate is a starting value, not a lock. If the government moves it, you change it yourself in Settings → Currency & Tax the same day — you do not need a new version of the software. Individual products can carry their own rate, or be marked exempt.

Account customers — the part every shop gets wrong

Most shops in Canada keep account customers in a register, and the register is always a week behind the shop. Busnipy POS keeps it against the customer instead: every credit sale posts to their balance as it is billed, part-payments come off it, and the list is correct at closing time without anybody adding a column of figures.

The recovery screen sorts by how long money has been owed rather than by how much, because the oldest debt is the one that turns into a loss. Reminders go out over SMS and email with the balance already in the message, and every one of them is recorded against the customer — so the next person to ask knows what was already asked.

Reaching customers by SMS and email

Invoices, payment reminders and offers go out on the channel your customers already answer. The credit-due list sends a reminder with the balance in one tap, so nobody retypes a number or copies a phone number by hand.

POS software in Canada — questions

Does it handle GST, HST and PST?

Tax is added at the till and you set the rate for your province — 5% GST alone, a combined HST, or GST with a provincial rate. Products can carry their own rate or be marked exempt for the categories treated differently.

Will my GST/HST number print on invoices?

Yes, entered once during setup and shown on every invoice with the tax listed separately.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Everything about selling runs on your own PC and network.

Can I run several tills?

Yes — one server PC and unlimited client tills, discovered automatically.

Is there a French interface?

Not today. The software ships in English, Roman Urdu and Arabic. Tell us if French would decide it for you.
