Take App Point of Sale (POS) is an iPhone app from Take App, a Winter 2022 Y Combinator company, for small businesses that sell through WhatsApp. The company says the app is for shop owners who want a faster, more organized workflow: they can create offline orders, view existing orders, and update order statuses in one place. Take App’s main site frames the broader product as an online store and order-management system for WhatsApp. (take.app; apps.apple.com)

The app is built around keeping online and in-person sales together. On Take App’s website, the company says merchants can take counter orders, show a payment QR, and manage sales from an iPad or phone. It also says the POS can be used alongside online orders, reservations, and order management tools, which may be useful for restaurants, cafes, and other small businesses that need a single place to track what was ordered and what still needs attention.

Take App also says it supports payment and workflow features beyond basic order entry. The website describes local payments, payment links, payment-proof checks, and automated reminders, while the App Store listing highlights core POS functions such as creating offline orders and updating statuses. The company says it does not store card details and does not hold merchant revenue; payments are handled by providers, and provider fees or availability may vary by country.

For iPhone use, Apple lists the app as free and requires iOS 16.4 or later. The App Store page also shows it is designed for iPad, has an age rating of 4+, and is available in English plus additional languages. The listing notes that privacy practices may include data linked to the user, including contact info and identifiers, and that accessibility features have not yet been indicated by the developer.

To get started, users can download Take App Point of Sale (POS) from the App Store and then use the company’s website to explore the wider store and order-management product. Take App says no coding is needed to set up a store, and its free plan includes limits, so merchants should review plan details and App Store compatibility before relying on it for day-to-day sales.
