Where we are still catching up
We would rather be upfront about what is on our roadmap than oversell. If any of these are critical to your operation today, let us know and we can recommend the right tool for now.
Offline POS mode
Coming in v0.7Orders queue locally today, with full offline sync landing in v0.7. If your connectivity is unreliable right now, Loyverse and Square are more mature options.
Third-party integrations
ExpandingSquare and Lightspeed have years of third-party app ecosystems. We are building a public API and publishing a clear integration roadmap so partners can plug in over time.
Market presence
NewBahiKash is young, with our first reference venue live in Tallinn. If brand maturity matters to your stakeholders, the incumbents have a longer track record. Our trade-off is a direct line to the people building the product.
