Hana Florist POS and Floranext are specialist starting points for a shop that takes orders for future delivery. FloristWare publishes a one-station price from $149 per month, while QuickFlora and BloomNation ask buyers to discuss a quote. Square, Shopify POS and Lightspeed are broader retail alternatives. Test the actual order, delivery and flower inventory workflow before comparing their prices.
Eight specialist and general retail platforms compared for orders, delivery and payment.
A florist’s point of sale needs to do more than take a payment at the counter. An order may be placed by phone for delivery next week, with a recipient address, card message and special instructions. A wedding may need a deposit, stem list and changes closer to the event. A general retailer’s checkout can handle sales, but the florist must check whether its order and delivery workflows fit these jobs.
Toolradar data: our ecommerce category tracks 362 products across a broader field, not just florist point-of-sale systems. The ecommerce statistics explain that wider catalog. See our ecommerce software guide and inventory management guide for broader comparisons.
Methodology: we compared five catalog products marketed to florists and three general retail POS options using published vendor plan descriptions, checked October 28, 2026. We did not test the products or send real orders. Vendor claims about delivery, integrations and inventory should be confirmed against the specific plan, location and hardware. A quote may change the choice substantially.

What makes a florist order different
A florist often records a buyer and recipient separately. The order needs a delivery date, address, card text, arrangement choice and a way to record a substitution. Staff may need to print a ticket for the designer and send a route to the driver. When an event is booked months ahead, the shop also needs a clear handoff from quote and deposit to purchasing and fulfillment.
A specialist florist POS may combine those steps, but its actual workflow and included modules vary. A general retail POS can be suitable if the shop’s main business is counter sales and its staff have a reliable way to manage future orders and deliveries. Do not assume that a general item catalog automatically tracks individual stems in a mixed bouquet. Ask a vendor to show how it represents flower recipes, spoilage, substitutions and a manual stock count.
For a realistic evaluation, create one anonymous sample: a customer buys a $75 arrangement for delivery next Friday, with a separate recipient and a $10 delivery charge. The expected order subtotal is $85 before any tax or other fees. Change one flower and the delivery window, print the designer’s ticket and trace the update through dispatch. The amounts are examples for testing, not vendor prices or estimates of typical florist sales.
What the published prices can and cannot tell you
FloristWare publishes a one-station monthly subscription starting at $149. At an unchanged monthly rate for twelve months, the subscription totals $1,788 before taxes, payment processing, hardware or any charges outside the subscription. Its pricing page also displays $1,499 per year for Basic; confirm the matching station terms, eligibility and payment commitment before comparing the two options. A lower annual total requires a year’s commitment and is not a quote for a particular shop.
Shopify’s US pricing page lists Basic at $39 per month with monthly billing and POS Pro as an additional $89 per location per month, billed yearly according to its FAQ. For one location using those displayed figures, twelve months of Basic at the unchanged monthly rate cost $468 and a year of POS Pro costs $1,068, for $1,536 total before hardware, processing and other charges. This combines monthly Basic billing with an annual POS Pro commitment; confirm the actual term and total at checkout. This general retail configuration is not feature-equivalent to FloristWare’s florist-specific system.
Several specialist platforms instead ask the shop for a quote or offer different commercial models. QuickFlora says its POS price depends on terminals, locations and modules. Hana describes a selectively offered performance-based option; request the percentage and the full contract before comparing it with a subscription. Ask each vendor to show fees for hardware, websites, processing, support, migration and delivery separately. The lowest advertised monthly figure is not the total cost of fulfilling orders.
Key Features to Look For
Future-dated orders (Essential)
Create a sample order with buyer and recipient, a delivery date, a card message and a later change. Confirm that the designer and dispatcher see the current version.
Delivery and proof (Essential)
Ask how the shop groups orders into routes and records a completed or failed delivery. Confirm whether a driver app, mapping, notifications or proof of delivery is included in the quoted plan.
Flowers and substitutions (Essential)
Show a mixed arrangement and ask whether the system tracks stems, finished products or both. Test how substitutions, waste and changes to an event affect available stock.
Payments and deposits (Essential)
Check card-present and remote payments, refunds, partial payments and deposits. Ask the processor for the actual fee schedule and how disputes and chargebacks are handled.
Website and wire orders (Important)
If the shop sells online or receives orders through a floral network, ask how each source reaches the queue and whether fees or a separate integration apply.
Hardware and handoff (Important)
Test the existing ticket printer, register, payment terminal and driver device. Include installation, data migration and training in the quote.
Decide around the whole order, not just checkout
-
List counter, phone, web and network order sources, and identify who receives each order.
-
Ask a designer and a driver to inspect a sample ticket and delivery route during the same demonstration.
-
Separate inventory for stems and supplies from the finished arrangements sold to customers.
-
Compare a written first-year total including hardware, setup, subscriptions, payment fees and any order commissions.
-
Ask for export formats, cancellation terms and access to customer and order history after the contract ends.
Evaluation Checklist
Enter a future $75 arrangement with a $10 delivery charge and verify the $85 pre-tax subtotal.
Change the recipient instruction and one flower, then check the ticket and dispatch views.
Ask the vendor to demonstrate a failed delivery, rescheduling and the status seen by the shop.
Test a wedding deposit and subsequent balance if events are part of the business.
Confirm printer and payment-terminal compatibility, support hours and migration responsibilities.
Request a written first-year and renewal quote including the charges for each intended order channel.

Mistakes to Avoid
- ×
Treating a general retail item count as proof that flower stems are deducted correctly from every bouquet.
- ×
Buying a system before testing a future delivery, substitution and printed ticket together.
- ×
Comparing a POS subscription against an ecommerce bundle without including hardware, fees and the services required.
- ×
Assuming a floral network, delivery service or wedding module is included on every plan.
- ×
Waiting until the busiest holiday week to migrate customer and order records.
Expert Tips
- →
Ask for the same future-dated order, ticket and delivery scenario in every demonstration.
- →
Have the person who answers the phone and the person who makes the delivery participate in the evaluation.
- →
Ask for a sample statement showing subscription, processing, commissions and optional services separately.
- →
Review the wider market in ecommerce tools, the inventory management guide, and Shopify alternatives. Compare the catalog pages for FloristWare and Hana.
Red Flags to Watch For
-
A quote without the billing term, renewal price or required processor.
-
An inventory demonstration that never shows a bouquet with multiple flower types and a substitution.
-
A delivery workflow that cannot show a changed address on the driver’s current route.
-
No clear migration plan for future orders and customer records.
The Bottom Line
Start with Hana, Floranext and FloristWare if future floral orders and delivery are central to the shop. QuickFlora and BloomNation are also worth a quote when their published modules match the workflow. Square, Shopify POS and Lightspeed are general retail alternatives: evaluate the additional steps or integrations a florist would need instead of assuming specialist functionality.
FloristWare’s published one-station monthly figure provides a starting point, but a real decision requires the same written scope from each vendor. Ask about order sources, processing, printers, website and migration, and test the sample before committing. Explore ecommerce tools for the broader catalog.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does florist POS software cost?
The price depends on stations, locations, modules and the commercial model. FloristWare lists a one-station monthly subscription from $149; other specialist providers request a quote. Add processing, hardware, taxes and optional services when estimating the total.
Can a general retail POS work for a florist?
It may fit a shop focused on counter sales, but verify how it handles future delivery, recipient details, card messages and substitutions. A general product catalog alone does not prove stem-level inventory or florist-specific dispatch.
Do I need separate delivery software?
Some specialist vendors describe delivery routing or dispatch tools. Availability can depend on the plan, location and setup. Ask the vendor to demonstrate a route, a changed address and proof of delivery on the devices your staff use.
Can the POS track individual stems?
Capabilities differ. Hana describes stem-level inventory, while a general retail product may track items or finished arrangements differently. Ask to demonstrate the bouquet recipe, a substitution and spoilage before assuming the stock will be correct.
Are payment processing fees included?
A software subscription does not necessarily include card processing. Obtain a fee schedule for in-person and remote transactions, refunds, chargebacks and the processor you intend to use.
How should a shop move its future orders?
Agree on an export and import plan, test a small set of sanitized records, and verify dates, recipient details and balances with the new vendor. Keep a reconciliation process until the shop has confirmed the migrated orders.
