The Kit POS that keeps selling — with or without internet
Kit POS Desktop is the same point of sale your team already knows, running natively on the till. Every sale is saved on the device first and syncs to your Kit business automatically the moment a connection is available — power cuts and network drops never stop the queue.

Stable Kit POS Desktop 1.0.0 release. Packaged builds use https://pos.kit.africa by default and ignore development .env files, so tills do not point at localhost. Offline selling supports cash sales, credit sales, quotations, tokens, direct POS mode, restaurant tables/KOT where enabled, Kit Pay mobile money, uppercase KOD invoice numbering, permission-gated device login, cached online receipt layouts rendered locally without per-receipt API calls and automatic sync to the Kit server.
Roll out Kit POS Desktop with the right permissions
Kit POS Desktop 1.0.0 is ready for tills that need offline selling. Sales are stored on the device first, then synced to your Kit business when the connection is available.
The setup guide covers first login permissions, direct POS mode for businesses without tables, staff PIN behavior, cash and credit sales, quotations, tokens and deleted-record recovery.
