How Much Does a POS System Cost in Lebanon?

If you've shopped around for a point-of-sale system in Lebanon, you've probably run into two extremes: imported systems priced in USD with monthly subscription fees that don't account for the lira, or local setups that are really just a barcode scanner plugged into a spreadsheet.

Here's what a real POS setup actually costs in 2026, broken down by what you're actually paying for.

Software-only, if you already have a device

If you've got a laptop or an old desktop sitting around, you don't need new hardware — just the software license, installation, and training. That's the cheapest way in: a one-time fee in the $150 range, covering the full first year, with a much smaller renewal after that (Table's is $60/year, covering support and updates).

A full hardware bundle

Most new shops want a complete setup out of the box — a dedicated machine, a cash drawer, and a receipt printer, so there's nothing left to piece together. Expect to pay somewhere between $400 and $600 for that, depending on whether you go with a laptop-based setup or a dedicated POS touchscreen terminal.

The touchscreen option costs more upfront but takes less counter space and looks more like a purpose-built till rather than a laptop propped on the counter — worth it for a lot of restaurants and retail shops, less necessary for a back-office setup.

What you shouldn't be paying for

Watch out for systems that charge a percentage of every transaction — a "free" POS that takes a cut of every sale gets expensive fast once you're doing real volume. Also be wary of USD-only monthly subscriptions from foreign providers that have no real concept of the lira; you'll end up doing dual-currency math by hand anyway.

A system built for Lebanon should handle USD and LBP natively, work when the internet doesn't, and charge you a flat fee — not a cut of your sales.
