What is Forge POS?
Forge POS by PPD Technology connects an Android point-of-sale register with Forge Cloud, the merchant management portal. Use the register for checkout and Forge Cloud to manage your catalog, inventory, team, and reporting.
How can I see Forge in action?
Book a personalized demo with the PPD team to explore checkout, inventory, staffing, and reporting for your business.
Can I manage my business away from the register?
Yes. Log in to Forge Cloud from a browser to work with your catalog, inventory, employees, schedules, and reports. Forge Cloud is the management portal; checkout happens on the register.
Will PPD help me get set up?
Yes. The PPD team can review your catalog, locations, equipment compatibility, and onboarding steps before you get started.
Can I use my existing hardware?
Compatibility depends on your exact register, printer, scanner, cash drawer, and payment terminal. Send the model details to PPD before buying or reusing equipment so the team can confirm the setup.
Can Forge handle more than one location?
Forge organizes your business by merchant, location, and register station. Additional locations and devices can be configured as your business grows. Ask PPD to help map your setup to the right permissions and hardware.

Documented feature
Varies by integration or plan
Not yet verified
Checks mean a provider offers the capability, not necessarily in every package. A dash is not a claim that a competitor lacks a feature. Forge's offline cash queue is implemented in software but awaits physical device retesting; live electronic payments and related dual-pricing workflows require provider and hardware qualification. Comparison reviewed October 2026. Ask us to confirm your setup.
