Hyvä POS Is Now Free, and in the Romanian App Store

On 5 November 2026, at Meet Magento Netherlands, Hyvä announced that Hyvä POS is free on the App Store in seven countries: the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, the United States, Switzerland, Finland, Australia and Ireland, with Pro licences coming. Romania wasn't on the list. Even so, on 7 November we found the app in the Romanian App Store too, also free.

What it is, what you get for free, and what "in Romania" means in practice today.

One Magento for the shop counter and the web shop

Hyvä POS is a native app for iPhone, iPad and Mac that runs the register directly on Magento. In Hyvä's words: the same catalogue, the same stock, the same customers and the same orders as the web shop, with nothing in between.

For a merchant with a physical shop and an online store, that means:

• one stock figure. The shop and the website sell from the same inventory sources, so you don't sell online a product that just left the shelf;
• every in-store sale is a normal Magento order, with its invoice, shipment and credit memo, so your reports already include it;
• no nightly export. The app talks to Magento through the standard API, not through a copy of the catalogue that can fall behind;
• customer-group prices, tier prices and catalogue rules apply at the register the same way they do on the website.

Hyvä also describes returning a web order right at the counter, and on PRO, gift cards and store credit bought online and spent in the shop, plus online orders collected in store.

What you get for free

The free version is, Hyvä says, a complete register: catalogue, checkout, cash and card, receipts, register close, refunds and reports. You don't need to install any module in Magento to start: the app connects with an integration token created in the Magento admin.

What it needs, according to Hyvä's documentation:

• an iPad (recommended), an iPhone or a Mac with Apple silicon;
• iOS or iPadOS 17 or newer;
• Magento Open Source or Adobe Commerce 2.4.x, reachable over HTTPS.

The hardware on the counter isn't locked into a bundle. Hyvä lists Star, Epson, Brother or any AirPrint printer, Socket Mobile or Bluetooth scanners or the device camera, and Mollie terminals for card payments. Other payment providers are planned.

There is a demo mode too: try the whole app, with a sample catalogue, before you connect your store.

What PRO adds

PRO adds a Magento module and a licence per register: central management from Magento, staff accounts with roles, offline mode, receipts synced to Magento, gift cards and store credit across online and in-store, pickup in store and pay by invoice for business customers. The Hyvä POS page lists €50 per register per month, with two registers included in Hyvä Commerce. The 5 November announcement says Pro licences are coming.

What "in Romania" means in practice

Here we need to be precise. The app installs, and is free, in Romania. Hyvä's documentation also says the app installs anywhere, and the store's country decides whether the register can sell. In countries that aren't open yet, the register is closed for sales and says so.

For Romania, Hyvä's documentation lists fiscal devices (AMEF) as the fiscal rule. The Hyvä POS page lists Romania among the countries that require certified register hardware or local approval that Hyvä doesn't hold yet. Hyvä says its plan for new countries changes with demand and effort, and invites merchants to write to them.

What you can already do today:

1. Install the app and open demo mode. See what the register looks like for your staff.
2. Connect a test store with an integration token and see your own catalogue, with your real prices and stock.
3. Check the hardware you already own against Hyvä's list.
4. Tell Hyvä you need Romania. The Hyvä POS page asks exactly that of merchants in countries that aren't open yet.

Why we're glad

It's the same pattern as Hyvä Pocket, the free app that shows your store's numbers on iPhone and Apple Watch: a free tool that works directly with your own Magento, with the data in your own store, not in someone else's cloud. One Magento for the website, for your phone and, once Romania opens, for the counter.
