Stoq review
A broad open-source retail suite for operators managing stores, stock and financial workflows.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Stoq is a Brazilian retail and commercial-management platform for businesses operating one or more stores. Its scope extends from product and stock management to sales processing, point of sale, purchasing, supplier and customer records, cash management, accounts payable and receivable, production, composite products and reporting. Open-source deployment makes it a fit for retail operators that want broader control over their software environment, while its web, API, self-hosted, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android coverage supports varied operating setups.
The operational feature set is broad. Teams can manage inventory counts, adjustments and stock transfers between branches, create purchase orders, receive purchases, search products by barcode and handle sales workflows. The platform also connects with BeBlue, Passbook, iFood, Uber Eats, Magalu, Shopify, Vnda, Protheus, SAP, Conta Azul and Power BI. That combination gives Stoq relevance for retailers coordinating stores, suppliers, financial processes and external commerce or reporting systems rather than managing a single isolated checkout.
Pricing is handled through contracting, with the monthly fee provided during that process. Stoq’s platform spans cloud-backed retail components, desktop point-of-sale software and mobile SmartPOS applications, so buyers should map each required workflow to the appropriate component before choosing a deployment approach. It suits open-source retail operators that need inventory, purchasing, POS and financial coverage in one system. Retailers seeking a narrowly focused checkout tool, a simple stock tracker or clearly published plan limits may prefer a more specialized alternative.
Stoq pros and cons
- Where it wins

- Covers POS, inventory, purchasing, accounting and production workflows
- Supports branch transfers, barcode search and multiple commerce integrations
- Where it doesn't
- Pricing requires a sales conversation rather than a published monthly rate
- Platform components and capabilities vary across cloud, desktop and mobile apps
- May be more platform than needed for retailers seeking only basic POS
