Building a Browser-Based POS for Phone Repair Shops (Lessons from 20+ Years Behind the Counter)

 I've run a phone repair and buyback shop in Detroit since 2003. Every POS we tried was built for general retail, not the repair counter, so we built our own.

PhoneShopPOS is a browser-based point of sale made for cell phone repair and buyback shops.

What it does

  • Repair tickets with tear-off tags. The customer keeps the stub, and the tag stays with the device.
  • Buyback receipts with seller ID. Every device you buy is documented.
  • Sales receipts for accessories and refurbished devices.
  • No install. It runs in any browser, on any computer or tablet.

Why browser-based

Most repair shops run one old PC at the counter. Going browser-only means there's nothing to install, updates reach everyone instantly, and setup takes minutes.

Try it

If you run a shop or know someone who does, here's the free POS for repair shops. No credit card needed.

Feedback is welcome, especially from anyone who has built software for a small niche industry.
