Tip 1
Print receipts in Spanish where it helps
Set the receipt layout per location so your Little Havana shop prints in Spanish while a Brickell store prints in English, and give staff the interface language they work best in.

Point of sale for Miami boutiques
Miami boutiques sell in two languages to locals, Latin American visitors and cruise and festival crowds, often all on the same Saturday. BoutiquePOS prints Spanish or English receipts, tracks swim and resort sizes and keeps stock honest across the store and Instagram.
Yes. BoutiquePOS works for Miami boutiques from the Design District to Calle Ocho. You can run the till and receipts in Spanish or English, set Florida and Miami-Dade sales tax per location, track swim, resort and guayabera sizes as separate SKUs, and record the payment methods your bilingual customers prefer.

The Miami clothing trade.
Spanish is the working language in a large share of Miami shops. Owners in Little Havana, Hialeah or Doral often run the floor in Spanish, and many customers expect a Spanish receipt, so a till that only speaks English slows down every sale.
Tourism drives the calendar. Winter brings northern visitors and cruise passengers, Art Basel Miami Beach fills the Design District and Wynwood in December, and Miami Swim Week in early summer turns swimwear into the season's headline. Resort and swim sizing, with separates and cup sizes, is far more complex than a simple S to XL run.
Many visitors come from Latin America and buy for family back home, sometimes in bulk. Exchanges are rare because they won't come back, so getting the size right at the counter and having the right stock count matters more than usual.
Local setup tips
Set up for Miami from day one.
Tip 2
Set Florida and Miami-Dade sales tax
Florida's state rate plus the Miami-Dade County surtax applies to most clothing. Set the combined rate per location and check it with the Florida Department of Revenue or your accountant.
Tip 3
Prepare for the August tax holiday
Florida runs a back-to-school sales tax holiday for clothing under a price cap. Schedule a zero-rate tax on qualifying categories for the official dates, which your accountant can confirm each year.
Tip 4
Build swimwear as separates
Make tops and bottoms separate products with their own sizes, and use cup or band sizes as a variation, so mix-and-match sales keep both counts accurate.
Size & color variants
US boutiques juggling alpha and numeric size runs can keep both as templates, and sales tax is added per your settings at checkout.
Loyalty & customers
US boutiques can run a simple points program in place of punch cards and see holiday gift buyers' past purchases.
Seasonal sales
US boutiques can schedule Black Friday through Cyber Monday and January clearance in advance and let the till handle the switch.
Reports
US boutiques can pull sales tax collected and profit by quarter to hand to their accountant.

Boutique POS in Miami: questions
Still unsure? Ask us on WhatsApp or the form, or search the help center.
Can the till and receipts be in Spanish?
Yes. Receipt layouts are set per location and the interface supports translations, so staff and customers can work in Spanish or English.
How do I set Miami-Dade sales tax?
Set the combined Florida and Miami-Dade rate on each location and it is added at checkout. Confirm the current rate and any exemptions with your accountant.
Can I handle the Florida back-to-school tax holiday?
Yes. Set a zero tax rate on qualifying clothing categories for the official dates. Check the price cap and dates with the Florida Department of Revenue each year.
Can I take pesos or other currencies?
Multi-currency lets you record prices and sales in more than one currency. The actual card or cash conversion depends on your processor and your own policy.
Does it work for swimwear?
Yes. Tops and bottoms can be separate products with their own size runs and colors, each with its own SKU and barcode.
How do I keep in touch with international clients?
Customer records keep contact details and purchase history, so when a Design District client returns next season you know her sizes and what she bought last time.
Can I sell at Art Basel pop-ups?
Yes. Add the pop-up as a location, transfer stock to it and sell from a tablet browser with an internet connection, then move unsold stock back.
Do you process my card payments?
No. BoutiquePOS works with your own card processor and records the payment method at the till; we never touch the funds.
