Open up in the morning, ring up cash and card, print the receipt or text it, cash out at the end of the night. What you sell comes off your stock straight away — whether it went out the door or got ordered online. We take nothing off a counter sale, and we never will.
Open every hour you want to be open. Card fees are whatever your card company charges, passed straight through — nothing added on top, nothing rounded up.
This is the real register — the desktop portal and the app — running in your browser with sample products. Ring up a few sales. Nothing is charged and nothing is saved.
Counter sales cost you nothing from us, now or later. You can see it printed every time you cash out.
Card fees are a real cost from a real card company, so they pass straight through at whatever they charge. Nothing added on top, nothing called a service fee.
The whole till, working properly, from the moment you open it.
Start the day with what's in the drawer, close it at the end of the shift. Every sale belongs to a day you can account for.
Read the till mid-shift without closing it, or close the day properly. Cash, card, refunds and fees, all on one slip.
Take cash, take card, split it however the customer wants. How they paid sits on the sale and totals up at close.
Sell one at the counter and your online listing knows straight away. One stock count, both ways of selling, evenings free.
Text it to them or print it on an ordinary till roll printer. Their choice, and it doesn't cost extra.
Give back the whole sale or just one item. The stock goes back on the shelf and the end-of-day slip shows it.
The internet goes down in the middle of a Saturday rush and CartoPOS keeps taking cash. The sales sit on the device and catch up the moment you're back online.
You keep the sale, you keep the record, and the line keeps moving.
Run two tills off the same prices and the same stock. Two counters, one set of numbers.
Open a tab on a table, add rounds as they come, settle it at the end.
Orders show up in the kitchen as they're rung in. No paper tickets, no shouting.
Counter sales, online orders and chat orders all come off the same number.
Three ways to take a card, all built on Stripe — the payment company trusted by millions of businesses — and all working the same way. Carto sells the readers at what they cost us plus handling: bought outright, never leased, never on finance, never tied to a contract. All three are coming soon.
No hardware
The phone in your pocket
Take contactless cards and phone payments on the iPhone you already own. Nothing to buy, nothing to charge. Coming soon.
~$59
What it costs us, plus handling
A little reader that pairs with your phone. For markets, pop-ups, deliveries and anywhere the counter comes with you. Coming soon.
~$249–349
What it costs us, plus handling
A proper terminal built for a busy counter. Works the same as the other two, so there's nothing new to learn. Coming soon.
All three will work the same way, and all three charge Stripe’s standard card rates passed through exactly — no markup from us. Move from a phone to a terminal without anything changing on your side.
Your till, what you sell, your orders and your numbers are one thing. Your evenings stay yours.
A sale at the counter, an order from the app and a sale Closer took in a message all come off the same stock number. Nothing to match up, because nothing is separate.
Counter takings sit with everything else. Take on Books later and it starts from the history that's already there.
Free for your first 90 days, then $9 a month — and free on every register when you take on all eight employees. Either way, you keep every penny of what you sell over the counter.
