Payments and software
Compare Point-of-Sale Systems in South Africa
Compare till software, subscriptions and hardware. Card processing is often a separate bill.
Transaction fees, settlement arrangements and merchant eligibility depend on the provider and the agreement. Confirm the current price and the terms before you sign. Information checked 29 October 2026.
Compare providers

6 of 6 products, in provider name order. A missing price is not shown as zero, and nothing is ranked as cheapest. A filter matches the published line. It does not decide that you qualify.
Exact fees were not verified, so no price is shown as a confirmed current tariff.

Estimate your payment processing costs
The standard VAT rate used here is 15%. It is added only when you tick the box. A price that already includes VAT should not be ticked.
How to read this comparison
A till records the sale, the stock and the receipt. A card machine takes the payment. Yoco POS publishes Core at R0 a month, Plus at R249 and Pro at R499 per location, and it says transaction charges are extra. The R0 plan is not a statement that card fees are free.
VAT on a tax invoice remains the business's responsibility. The 15% rate used in the calculator is not a claim that the till is configured for every supply.
How WiT Money compares these products
Products stay in provider name order. A gateway fee, a device price, a till subscription, an accounting plan and a payroll charge are not sorted against one another. Nothing is ranked as the cheapest. A listed name is not a recommendation, and WiT Money does not sell the service. Where this site has the provider's logo, it is shown. Otherwise the name is shown without a mark.
