The best POS systems for Luxembourg in 2026

Short answer: the best POS system for Luxembourg in 2026

LUXPOS wins this list because it is built for the one market the others treat as a rounding error: it carries the four Luxembourg VAT rates on the article, splits revenue by rate at the daily close, exports the eCDF VAT declaration and a FAIA 2.01 audit file, and runs the counter in five languages. Lightspeed Restaurant is the better restaurant product, Square is the better deal, SumUp is the cheapest way to start, and three of the ten systems below cannot be bought in Luxembourg at all. Here is the ranking, with the criteria first so you can disagree with us honestly.

How we ranked these POS systems

We fixed five measurable criteria before we looked at a single product, and we applied them in this order.

1. Can you actually buy it in Luxembourg? Taken from each vendor's own availability statement, not from a reseller's claim.
2. VAT per article across the four Luxembourg rates. Can you set 3, 8, 14 and 17 percent on the article, and does the daily close break revenue down by rate? Luxembourg taxes a restaurant service at 3 percent but puts the alcoholic part at 17 percent, so the rate has to live on the product, not in the cashier's head.
3. Luxembourg filing output. Does the system produce the eCDF VAT declaration and a FAIA 2.01 audit file, the two artefacts a Luxembourg audit asks for?
4. Staff interface languages, counting French, German, English, Portuguese and Italian, because that is who stands in a Luxembourg kitchen and dining room.
5. Price and continuity. The published monthly price for one till, net, and what the vendor states keeps working during a network outage. Systems that publish no price lose points, and so do systems that stop taking card payments when the line drops.

Two things we did not rank on: star ratings, because we do not collect them and will not invent them, and feature counts, because every vendor counts differently. Three systems in this list, Square, orderbird and Zettle, are ranked at the bottom purely because of criterion one. They are not bad software. Square is the best free restaurant product in Europe. You simply cannot sign up for it here.

1. LUXPOS

59 EUR a month, net, for the Register plan, per account. The only system here that treats Luxembourg paperwork as a feature rather than an export problem: the rates 3, 8, 14 and 17 percent come preset and editable per article, the daily close splits turnover by rate, and the account produces the eCDF VAT declaration as XML plus a validated FAIA 2.01 file. The till, receipts and QR menu run in French, German, English, Italian and Portuguese, order at table and the kitchen screen are included with no fee per order, and the price is per account with unlimited staff PINs, so a second till does not double the bill. Extra branches cost 69 EUR a month each. Honest limits: offline covers cash sales only, there is no Peppol access point, and there is no Uber Eats, Wolt or Deliveroo link at all.

2. Lightspeed Restaurant

89 EUR a month for one licence, 159 for two, 249 for three, 49 EUR per extra licence. The deepest hospitality product you can buy in Luxembourg, and the only vendor in this list that publishes its Belgian GKS 2.0 certificate numbers and a precise written account of what survives an outage: orders, tables, kitchen dockets, local bills and cash all keep working, integrated card payments do not. Luxembourg is supported, including Edenred and Pluxee meal vouchers. The catch is the shape of the pricing. A kitchen display screen consumes one of your included licences, third party ordering such as Uber Eats starts on the 249 EUR Pro plan, and no card processing rate is published anywhere.

3. SumUp POS

Free POS tier, Caisse Plus at 49 EUR a month, net. The cheapest honest way to start taking cards in Luxembourg: a real Luxembourg storefront with local pricing, a Solo Lite reader from 34 EUR net, and a free till app that is enough for a bakery or a market stall. Caisse Plus adds a table plan, split payments and stock. The problem is the card rate: Luxembourg pay as you go is 2.75 percent while the same vendor charges French merchants 1.75 percent, and the hospitality tier POS Pro is priced only on the Irish and British lists at 55 EUR plus 19 EUR for the Hospitality Module. Offline is the weakest here, restricted to Solo in standalone mode, contactless only, Visa and Mastercard only.

4. Shopify POS

Shopify Basic 32 EUR a month plus 79 EUR per POS Pro location. The right till for a shop that already sells online, and one of the few vendors that confirms integrated card readers in Luxembourg, Belgium and the Netherlands. One catalogue, one stock level, one customer record, the lowest in person card rate in this list at 1.2 percent on the Advanced plan, and a POS app in French, German and Dutch. It is a retail product: no floor plan, no kitchen screen, no delivery platforms, and no eCDF or FAIA output. Offline card payments are opt in and explicitly unavailable for retail locations in France, which matters if you also trade across the border.

5. L'Addition

Price on request. The system to look at if your fear is the Saturday night when the line dies, because L'Addition ships its own router and runs the service on a private local network, described as patented technology. It is the only French vendor here that states in writing that it sells in Luxembourg, and the only one publishing a certification body and number, LNE-34277. Full restaurant depth, tips on the terminal, Uber Eats directly. Against it: no published price at all, Apple hardware only, and a staff app in French, English and Spanish, with no German, which is a real limit in a Luxembourg dining room.

6. Hiboutik

Free, Premium 16.90 EUR a month per account, extra shops 12.90 EUR. The best free deal in this list by a distance. The free tier is a working shop till with stock, invoices, variants, loyalty points, label printing, a daily Z, a floor plan and a built in web shop, with no limit on users or tills. Premium adds split bills, the kitchen screen, the monthly Z and the accounting export. Two caveats decide it: the vendor calls it a 100 percent online cash register and claims no offline mode whatsoever, and while the homepage asserts an NF525 certificate, the document it publishes is a July 2025 proof of commitment, with no certificate number.

7. Zelty

Price on request. The most convincing product here for a restaurant whose orders arrive from six channels at once. Deliveroo, Uber Eats and Just Eat are all named on Zelty's own partner page, the menu is written once in the back office and pushed to counter, handheld, kiosk, web shop and platforms, and the licence is monthly with no commitment while you own the hardware. But it names no country other than France, its lead form is built around French départements, it publishes nothing about what the till does during an outage, and its own guide to French certification tells you to demand a certificate number that Zelty does not publish.

8. Square POS, not sold in Luxembourg

Free, Restaurants Plus 59 EUR net per location. On the product alone this would rank second or third: a genuinely free restaurant tier with floor plan, split bills and tips, offline card acceptance with up to 72 hours to upload, named Deliveroo, Uber Eats and Just Eat integrations, 1.65 percent on EEA cards and a 19 EUR reader. Square's own international availability article lists the US, Canada, Australia, Japan, the United Kingdom, Ireland, France and Spain. Luxembourg is not there, and neither is Belgium or the Netherlands. There is also no German and no Portuguese at the till. The full head to head is in LUXPOS versus Square.

9. orderbird, not sold in Luxembourg

99.90 EUR a month for PRO S with orderbird card payment, 119.90 EUR without. The German answer to cash register law, with the certified TSE, onboarding and 24/7 emergency support folded into one published price, and that honesty extends to the uncomfortable parts: keeping your own card processor costs 20 EUR a month more, QR ordering is 39.90 EUR extra and reservations 59.90 EUR. Its own company boilerplate names Germany, Austria, Switzerland and France. No Benelux country appears, so for a Luxembourg reader it is a price benchmark rather than an option.

10. Zettle by PayPal, not sold in Luxembourg

No subscription, 1.75 percent per card transaction in France, 1.95 percent in the Netherlands. A payment terminal with a till bolted on, which is a reasonable thing to buy when the menu is a chalkboard: no monthly fee, a reader at 29 EUR, and offline card payments up to 1000 pounds per transaction. It documents no floor plan, no kitchen display and no delivery integrations, and PayPal's own market list covers the Netherlands only in the Benelux, with Luxembourg and Belgium absent.

The price of one till, side by side

What happens when the network drops?

This is where our own top pick loses. LUXPOS states offline operation for cash sales only. Square keeps accepting cash and card for up to 72 hours before upload, Zettle keeps accepting cards with a 24 hour reconnect window, L'Addition sidesteps the problem with its own router and local network, and Lightspeed documents exactly which functions survive and which stop. Hiboutik has no offline mode at all, and Zelty publishes nothing on the subject. If your connection is unreliable and most of your tickets are paid by card, weight this criterion above everything else and buy accordingly.

Luxembourg VAT and the audit file: who can file for you

Only LUXPOS, in this field, turns the sale into Luxembourg filing artefacts without a detour: the four rates per article, the daily split by rate, the eCDF declaration as XML and a FAIA 2.01 audit file. Everyone else can be configured with a 3 percent rate, and then your fiduciaire does the rest by hand. That is not a scandal, it is a market the size of a mid sized German city, and it is also the single reason we rank a local product first. The legal background, including why no system can honestly be sold as "certified for Luxembourg", is in does Luxembourg require a certified cash register.

What we could not verify

Lightspeed's card processing rate and contract length are not public, and we could not confirm on a vendor page whether Lightspeed Payments is available in Luxembourg. SumUp does not publish a Luxembourg price for POS Pro. Hiboutik's NF525 status rests on a proof of commitment rather than a certificate. Zelty publishes no price, no country list and no offline statement. We have asked, and we will update this page rather than fill the gaps with guesses. Vendors who want a correction or an entry can use get listed.

Who should buy what

A restaurant in Luxembourg with a real dining room and delivery platform orders should start with Lightspeed Restaurant and budget for the Pro plan. A bakery, a market stall or a kiosk should start with SumUp, or with Hiboutik if the connection is solid and the budget is zero. A shop that already sells on Shopify should not look further than Shopify POS. Everyone whose pain is the VAT split, the eCDF declaration, the FAIA file and a multilingual team should look at LUXPOS first. If your tables are in Belgium or the Netherlands rather than the Grand Duchy, read the best restaurant POS for the Benelux instead, because the certified cash register rules there change the answer.
