A better retail POS than Shopify or Lightspeed — built for premium retail stores
Built for retail, not forced into retail
Our featured retail solution is Material Retail POS, backed locally by Tampa Bay Pay. It was built by retail operators who understand what actually matters on the sales floor — inventory, checkout flow, customer experience, and the real-world needs of modern retail stores.
We help retailers win the in-store experience
Shopify and Lightspeed may run the website side of the business, but many retailers still feel let down by the in-store payment and POS experience. Tampa Bay Pay helps merchants improve the retail floor, strengthen the checkout process, and add compliant pricing options that Shopify and Lightspeed do not handle well.
A stronger in-store retail solution than Shopify POS or Lightspeed
Built for retail
Material Retail POS was built by retail store owners, not by people guessing what retail operators need.
Better in-store experience
We focus on improving the in-store checkout and payment experience — where many retailers feel Shopify POS and Lightspeed are weakest.
Shopify integration
If you already have a Shopify store, we can help connect your online and in-store systems more cleanly.
Free eCommerce option
If you do not already have an online store, we can provide an eCommerce platform at no extra cost for qualified businesses.
Compliant pricing flexibility
Unlike Shopify or Lightspeed, we can support compliant dual pricing or surcharging strategies when appropriate for the business.
