Before you choose, see POS prices in Jordan and what JoFotara integration means in practice.
Sindbad is an Egyptian point of sale and e-commerce platform. Its strongest offer is a free plan for one branch that includes the POS, stock and an online store with cash on delivery, aimed at shops that sell with barcodes, such as supermarkets, clothing and electronics stores. For a shop that wants to start selling online without paying anything up front, that is worth a try.
Ghalleh is built for Jordan specifically. Every invoice is sent to JoFotara with the QR code on the receipt, which Sindbad's site does not mention. Selling in Ghalleh continues without internet, and prices are published in dinar. What Ghalleh adds for the owner is following the shop from the phone: a notification for every sale, a daily target with your progress toward it, and a low stock alert. It also keeps a customer debt book with WhatsApp statements, staff accounts with permissions for each action, and about 388 ready packaged supermarket items with their brand logos.
Which one fits you?
Sindbad fits if
You want to start free with one branch, need an online store with cash on delivery, and do not need JoFotara.
Ghalleh fits if
Your shop is in Jordan and needs JoFotara on every invoice, and you want to sell offline and follow the shop from your phone.
Moving to Ghalleh
If your Sindbad account lets you export the product list, save it to a file. If not, copy it into a spreadsheet, with category, size and colour where they apply.
On the items screen choose import and load the file as it is, Excel or CSV, up to 20,000 rows. Ghalleh matches the columns itself and shows you the rows to review before saving.
Scan your first item with the phone camera or a scanner, and print a test receipt to check that the QR code shows on it.
