Loyverse or Dashing: which free cashier fits your shop?
Loyverse is a free till with paid add-ons. Dashing fits a shop that sells on credit, needs books behind every sale and wants Sorani Kurdish, with the cashier, customer debts and accounting in one free plan for one branch.
Where Dashing is better
Customer debts: each customer has a balance, aging at 30, 60 and 90 days, a credit limit and a statement staff send on WhatsApp with one tap. Books: income statement and balance sheet come from the same sales the cashier enters. Offline: Loyverse blocks refunds, new customers and stock display while offline (help page, 2026-10). Cost: a shop with one store, two staff and advanced inventory pays about $400 a year on Loyverse add-ons (our estimate from its yearly add-on prices, 2026-10), against Dashing's free plan or 420,000 IQD. Language: Sorani Kurdish is built in.
