A POS (Point of Sale) system for schools is a secure digital platform where staff, students, and parents can manage payments for school-related items like cafeteria meals, uniforms, event tickets, and other fees. It centralizes all payment-related information in one place, making it easy for the school community to handle transactions, track balances, and access receipts without relying on cash or paper forms. This helps keep everything organized and improves the overall payment experience for everyone involved.
Softr makes it simple to build a POS system tailored to your school’s unique needs. You can connect your existing data sources, such as Airtable, Notion, or Google Sheets, and set up a platform where students, parents, and staff can log in to make payments, review balances, and access purchase history—all in one place.
You don’t need to write any code. Start with a template or create your own layout, customize user access, and add your school’s branding. The system is quick to launch, easy to update, and flexible enough to support different payment types and reporting needs as your school grows.
You can add a variety of features to your school’s POS system, depending on your needs. Some common options include:
\- User logins – so students, parents, and staff can securely access their accounts
\- Custom dashboards – to show current balances, recent purchases, or upcoming fees
\- Payment forms – for meals, uniforms, activities, or donations
\- File sharing – to provide receipts or important payment documentation
\- Search and filters – to help users find specific transactions or items
\- Tables, lists, and detail views – to display payment histories or outstanding fees
\- Status updates – to notify users about payment confirmations or new charges
\- Charts – to visualize spending, balances, or participation in school programs
\- Calendar view – for upcoming payment deadlines or events
\- Permissions and roles – so different users only see the information relevant to them
All these features can be built using Softr’s drag-and-drop tools, so there’s no need for coding. If your school’s needs change, updating your POS system is simple.
No coding is required. You can create your school’s POS system entirely using Softr’s visual editor. Everything from how the platform looks to user permissions can be customized with easy-to-use tools—no programming experience needed.
Yes. You can manage multiple schools or different user groups within a single POS system for schools. Each user—such as administrators, teachers, cafeteria staff, or parents—will only see the information and features relevant to their role and school, based on their login. This is especially helpful for school districts or educational organizations managing several schools or departments at once.
Softr supports a variety of data sources that you can use with your school's POS system. You can connect to Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion, Coda, monday.com, HubSpot, Clickup, Xano, Supabase, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, MariaDB, BigQuery, and more. You can also bring in data from other platforms using the REST API.
You’re not restricted to just one data source. You can combine multiple sources in the same POS system and display them together—so, for example, your school’s POS can pull data from both Airtable and Google Sheets at once. Most sources support real-time, two-way syncing, so updates in your POS or your data source stay in sync automatically.
Yes, Softr gives you complete control over how users interact with your school’s POS system. You can tailor the layout, navigation, and content to match your school’s branding and processes. Each page or section can be shown or hidden based on the user’s login, so teachers, staff, students, or parents see only what’s relevant to them.
You can also set up different user roles, such as administrator, cafeteria staff, teacher, or parent, and define exactly what each can view or manage. For example, parents might be able to view their child’s cafeteria balance, while staff can process transactions or manage inventory. You can also filter data and create personalized views based on the logged-in user.
This customization helps keep your POS system secure, organized, and user-friendly for everyone involved in the school.
Yes, absolutely. You don’t need to have your school’s data stored in another system before getting started with Softr for your POS system. If you’re starting from scratch, you can use Softr Databases, which is included in the platform and works seamlessly with your school POS application.
If you do already have data in tools like Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion, or other platforms, you can connect those as well. Softr also supports using a REST API connector to import data from other sources. This way, you have full control over how your school’s information is organized and accessed within the POS system.
Yes, you can fully white-label your pos system for schools in Softr. You can use your school’s logo, colors, fonts, and even set up a custom domain to ensure the system feels like a seamless part of your school’s environment. All Softr branding can be removed, so staff, students, and parents only see your school’s identity throughout the experience.
Absolutely. Softr gives you flexibility to customize both the design and layout of your pos system for schools. You can adjust colors, fonts, spacing, and the structure of each page to reflect your school’s branding. You can choose how each section is organized, decide which blocks go where, and set what different user groups—like students, staff, or parents—see when they log in.
To manage your school’s information, you can use different blocks:
\- Table blocks – for tracking cafeteria sales, student accounts, or inventory
\- List or Card blocks – to highlight menu items, transaction history, or staff profiles
\- Detail View – to show transaction summaries or account overviews
\- Forms – for inputting new orders or requests
\- Charts – to display sales analytics or spending trends
\- Calendar blocks – to manage special event menus or schedules
If you need to make changes later, updates are easy through the visual builder.
Softr is designed with security as a top priority. All data—including sensitive information about student accounts and transactions—is encrypted both in transit (TLS) and at rest. Your pos system for schools is hosted on secure, reliable infrastructure. You have full control over user permissions, with role-based access to ensure only authorized personnel can view or manage specific information. You can set up custom user roles, manage access directly in your data source, and apply global restrictions to protect school and student data.
If your system integrates with external data sources like Airtable or Google Sheets, Softr doesn’t store your data—it displays it in real time based on your permissions. You remain in control of all school data. Softr also follows industry-standard practices for authentication, access control, and platform monitoring to keep your information safe.
You can get started at no cost. Softr’s Free plan allows you to publish one pos system app for schools with up to 10 users and 2 user groups, supporting all main data sources like Softr Databases, Airtable, and Google Sheets.

Softr is designed to make it simple to build fully functional, user-friendly apps—like pos systems for schools, portals, or internal tools—without any coding required. What sets Softr apart is how quickly you can go from concept to a live pos system, and how easily it integrates with your school’s existing data.
Unlike some no-code platforms that are tailored to mobile apps or developer-heavy workflows, Softr is built for non-technical users who want full control over layout, permissions, and user experience. You can connect real-time data from Airtable, Google Sheets, Softr Databases, or SQL, and create secure, branded systems that work for your school community.
Softr includes user roles, forms, conditional logic, and API support out of the box, so you don’t need to piece together multiple tools to launch a polished school pos system.
Yes. Softr supports a variety of integrations so you can connect your school’s pos system to other tools and automate key processes. For example, you can integrate with payment platforms for lunch accounts, use Zapier or Make to sync data with school management systems, and trigger notifications or updates based on transactions. Softr also supports REST API and webhooks for more advanced automations.
Whether you want to automate reports, send notifications to staff or parents, or display real-time data from other platforms, you can incorporate it into your pos system for schools—all without writing code.
