Features

What it does.

Built for ecommerce operators who run on Linnworks. No fluff, just the workflow.

📱

USB barcode scanner

Plug a scanner in, scan to add. Single-match scans add to the cart automatically, focus auto-returns to the search box, the next scan flows without clicking.

🔎

Live SKU search

Search by SKU, barcode, or product name. Real-time stock levels from Linnworks — no cached lists.

👥

Customer auto-fill + price memory

Customer database built from your last 3 years of processed Linnworks orders. Full address auto-fill, and the last price you charged that customer for each SKU is remembered for next time.

💷

Line-by-line pricing + discount + delivery

Override unit prices per line, apply an order-wide discount %, and add a delivery charge — without changing master prices in Linnworks.

🏷️

B2B Price Tiers integration

Assign customers to a price tier and the right tier price applies automatically when you pick them. The customer's tier shows on the cart, tier prices appear in product search, a margin warning flags any line priced below cost, and minimum-order-value prompts keep trade orders above the tier's threshold. Powered by the B2B Price Tiers app.

📄

Tier-priced quotes

Generate a quotation PDF at the customer's tier prices — download it or email it straight to them — without creating an order. Turn a quote into an order whenever they say yes.

💳

Payment status at point of sale

Set an order's payment status — Unpaid, Paid, Pending or Resend — as you take it. The status is written back to Linnworks with the order.

🧮

VAT-aware cart (ex/inc modes)

Independent Ex/Inc-VAT modes for the cart and the delivery charge. Per-line VAT computed correctly for trade vs retail flows.

Auto-process orders

Optional toggle: push the order straight from open to processed in Linnworks the moment you submit. Skip the picking step entirely for counter sales.

Auto-email PDF confirmations

Optional toggle: branded PDF order confirmation emailed to the customer the moment you submit. Custom logo on Team.

📂

Drafts & reorder

Save half-finished carts and finish them later. One-click reorder pulls a customer's last order back into the cart in seconds.

📝

Captures order metadata

Internal order ref, customer PO, sub-source, delivery notes — all captured up-front and sent to Linnworks. Plus "Placed by" recorded on every order.

👥

Multi-user teams

Team plan: invite up to 5 staff, manage seats from Settings, each staff member sees their own toggles + default location. Custom logo on confirmations.

📲

Mobile + tablet ready

Works on a phone, a tablet on a counter, or a desktop in a back office. Responsive design throughout.

Use cases

Where it fits.

Example workflows from ecommerce operators using Trade Order POS.

Trade counter

Wholesalers + cash & carry

Customer walks up with a list. Scan their items, pick them from your customer database, submit. They walk out, the order is in Linnworks, the warehouse picks it.

Phone orders

B2B sales teams

Trade customer calls in. Open Trade Order POS on your desktop, search their account, talk through line items as you scan or type, set their trade discount per line, submit while still on the call.

Field sales / reps

Account managers on the road

Take a tablet to a client meeting. Place the order in front of them. They see your live stock, your trade pricing, and they sign off. Order hits Linnworks before you leave.

Tier-priced quotes

Trade accounts with negotiated pricing

Assign the account to a tier in B2B Price Tiers, build the cart, and the tier prices fill in automatically. Email a quotation PDF on the spot, then turn it into an order — with the right payment status — the moment they confirm.

FAQ

Common questions.

If you don't see your question, email hello@mcp-g.com.

Do I need special hardware?

No — but it works great with a standard USB barcode scanner if you want scan-to-add. Any HID-keyboard-style scanner works. No drivers, no setup. Single-match scans auto-add to the cart by default (toggle in Settings).

Can I override prices for trade discounts?

Yes — per line. Set a custom unit price for any line item before submitting. Your master prices in Linnworks stay unchanged. The price you charge each customer is remembered automatically — next time you pick that customer, the same lines fill at the same prices.

Does it work on a tablet?

Yes — responsive design, optimised for tablet at a counter or on the road. Works on phone for quick on-the-go orders too.

How is customer auto-fill built?

On first connect, we read your last 3 years of processed Linnworks orders to build a customer database (name, addresses, emails, phones). It refreshes automatically as new orders come in.

Why can't I reorder an order I just placed?

Linnworks indexes new processed orders into its processed-orders search after about 12-24 hours. Reorder reads from that index, so an order you've just created isn't visible to Reorder until indexing catches up. Give it overnight and try again — this is a Linnworks indexing delay, not a bug in the POS.

What if I add a new customer not in my database?

You can type the address into the Delivery Address block — there's no "new customer" form to fill in. They'll appear in lookup next time, once Linnworks has indexed their first order.

Does it auto-process orders or auto-email customers?

Yes — two optional per-user toggles. Auto-process pushes the new order straight from open to processed in Linnworks the moment you submit. Auto-email sends the customer a branded PDF order confirmation automatically. Both default off; turn them on once and they stick.

How does tier pricing work in the POS?

It pairs with our B2B Price Tiers app (b2b-prices.mcp-g.com). Assign a customer to a price tier there, and when you select that customer in Trade Order POS the right tier price applies to every line automatically — no manual overrides. The customer's tier shows on the cart, tier prices appear in product search, a margin warning flags any line priced below cost, and minimum-order-value prompts keep the order above the tier's threshold.

Can I send a quote instead of placing an order?

Yes — generate a tier-priced quotation PDF and either download it or email it straight to the customer, all without creating an order in Linnworks. When they confirm, place the order from the same cart.

Can I record whether an order has been paid?

Yes — set the order's payment status (Unpaid, Paid, Pending or Resend) at the point of sale. The status is written back to Linnworks with the order.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes — monthly billing via Stripe, cancel with one click.

How much does it cost?

Two plans: Solo at £29/month (one user) and Team at £79/month (up to five user logins, plus staff management and custom logo on email confirmations). Every order feature is included in both — the only difference is how many people can log in. Both have unlimited orders.

Is there a free trial?

Yes — a 14-day free trial on either plan, with every feature and unlimited orders unlocked, so you can test the full workflow before you pay. Stripe holds your card details during the trial but charges nothing until day 14; cancel beforehand to avoid being charged at all.
