Our verdict on Cloud Retailer
Cloud Retailer brings point-of-sale and store-management tools together for liquor, wine, beer and beverage retailers. Checkout sits alongside age verification, inventory control, reporting, supplier purchasing and customer loyalty. Its configurable ID workflow can prompt a scan or swipe and attach verification to a transaction. The product fits stores that want liquor-specific operations in one system, from cashier prompts to purchasing and inventory oversight, rather than a checkout-only register.
Inventory and purchasing are a central strength. Basic includes basic inventory control and 25 reports, while High Volume adds advanced inventory management, supplier purchase planning, point-in-time inventory reporting, customer tracking, loyalty points and an Android app. The feature set also includes alerts, historical and SKU reporting, forecasting, inventory transfers, purchase orders and receiving. Stores connecting online sales can sync e-commerce orders and inventory in real time; integrations include QuickBooks, Instacart, Minibar, Thirstie, Bottlecapps and Cityhive, alongside beverage distributors such as RNDC and Southern Glazer's. That breadth makes it a fit for retailers coordinating suppliers and delivery channels, though buyers should check that their specific workflows align with the listed connections.
According to the vendor's pricing page, Basic costs $75 per checkout lane per month and High Volume costs $180 per lane per month, billed monthly. Dual Pricing is labeled $0 per lane per month and includes Basic and High Volume features, but it is funded through credit-card processing and requires Straight Up Pay; it also specifies Bronze-level service and a lifetime warranty on its payment-processing terminal. Enterprise lists API access, Gold Support and a dedicated server option, without a stated price. Support channels include email, phone and documentation. The hybrid setup combines cloud access with local POS data storage. Cloud Retailer is worth considering when age checks, inventory depth and integrations matter; stores seeking a straightforward low-cost register should compare the lane-based pricing and processing conditions carefully.
