GiftLogic review
A report-rich retail POS for specialty stores, with a high monthly license cost.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
GiftLogic is a Windows-based point-of-sale and inventory management system for small and specialty retailers. It combines checkout, inventory tracking, customer records, purchasing, employee permissions, and reporting with retail-specific tools such as layaways, custom orders, charge accounts, gift cards, store credit, and label creation. Gift and specialty stores that need more than basic checkout functionality will find its feature set particularly relevant, especially when detailed reporting is a priority.
Pricing is structured around two monthly subscriptions. Basic Subscription costs $199 per license per month and includes the register, inventory, customers, reporting, employees, and purchasing. PRO Subscription costs $298 per license per month and includes the Basic features plus QuickBooks integration, Shopify integration, a time clock, multi-vendor support, and email receipts. The published plans do not include a free plan, and the higher license cost makes GiftLogic a more considered purchase for smaller retailers. Optional add-ons include consignment, gift registry, time clock, e-receipts, and receipt transfer.
The strongest case for GiftLogic is its depth in specialty-retail operations. The register supports returns, voids, split items, gift receipts, discounts, and coupons, while inventory includes item characteristics, promotions, purchasing, and barcode labels. Customer records can include contact details, photos, and purchase history, and role-based permissions support supervisor overrides. Integrations cover QuickBooks Desktop Pro, Shopify, MailChimp, credit-card processing, and e-commerce. GiftLogic should suit retailers that value detailed controls and reporting over platform flexibility; businesses seeking a non-Windows POS or a lower-cost starting point should consider alternatives.
