Korona POS · Sold & Supported Locally

The POS built for liquor, convenience & specialty retail

Specialty retail lives and dies on inventory — thousands of SKUs, cases that break into singles, vendors to manage, and age-restricted sales at the counter. Korona is a cloud POS built for exactly that, and it stays processor-agnostic with no long-term contract, so you keep control of your rates. We set it up and support it locally.

Why We Recommend Korona for Specialty Retail

The hardware's the easy part. Inventory is where specialty retail wins or loses.

A liquor store or smoke shop can carry thousands of SKUs, with cases that break into singles, constant vendor changes, and age-restricted sales at every counter. A basic register can't keep up — counts drift, reorders get missed, and margin leaks out quietly.

Korona was built for exactly this kind of store. Deep inventory, automatic reorder points, vendor management, and compliance tools are the core of the system — and it stays processor-agnostic with no long-term contract, so you're never locked into anyone's rates.

That's why it's our pick for specialty retail. We set it up, import your catalog, train your staff, and support it locally — you get purpose-built software and a hands-on Tampa Bay team, priced transparently.

Korona Questions

What store owners ask before switching to Korona

What kind of businesses is Korona best for?
Inventory-heavy specialty retail — liquor and wine stores, convenience, smoke and vape shops, and specialty stores like hardware, gift, pet, hobby, and garden. If you carry thousands of SKUs and need deep inventory plus age-check compliance, Korona is built for it.
Does it handle age verification and case/single breakdowns?
Yes. Korona prompts for ID and date of birth on age-restricted sales, and its inventory handles case, pack, and single-bottle breakdowns — so a case you buy and the singles you sell stay in sync automatically.
Can I keep my current processor and rates?
Korona is processor-agnostic with no long-term contract, so the software never locks you into a specific processing deal. We'll set your processing up transparently and price it to your business — and you keep control of your rates.
Can I run dual pricing or cash discount?
Yes. We set up compliant dual pricing on the processing side so cash customers get a lower price and card fees are offset — a strong fit for tight-margin convenience and liquor. We handle the configuration, signage, and receipts.
Will you import my inventory and train my staff?
Yes. For local businesses, catalog import, install, and staff training are done in person by our team — we get your SKUs, vendors, and compliance set up so you're not starting from scratch. After that, we stay reachable by phone, text, and email here in Tampa Bay.
How much does it cost, and is there a contract?
Korona is priced on a simple monthly subscription with no long-term contract, quoted upfront based on your store and locations. Software is separate from payment processing, which we price transparently — see our pricing page for processing details. Free or discounted equipment may be available for qualifying merchants — ask on your demo.
How is this different from Clover?
Clover is a great general-purpose system. Korona is specialty-retail-first — its depth is in high-SKU inventory, case/single breakdowns, age-check compliance, and multi-location reporting. For a liquor, smoke, vape, or specialty store, Korona is usually the better fit. We'll tell you honestly which one suits your business.
