  • Q2. Is ShopTill-e software?

    Yes. ShopTill-e is cloud software that can run on your existing hardware and can be accessed from anywhere, anytime.

    However, ShopTill-e has been designed to be different from other retail software on the market... how?

    It's available as a monthly subscription so there's no need to pay a lump sum upfront, AND the plans are easy to understand, the pricing is amazing value for money, PLUS you get all the features included from day one!

    Other retail software on the market often start with a very low headline figure but once all the needed functionality is added, it often becomes an expensive product to run….

    But not with ShopTill-e - included within the low-cost, monthly subscription, you get all the epos and ecommerce features, there are no costly add-ons, and you’ll benefit from free updates, (as additional, new features are added, you’re upgraded for free), as well as regular backups and expert support.

    We're all about helping you save time, reduce costs and grow!
  • Q3. How does ShopTill-e work?

    Within your Shoptill-e account is a central catalogue where your products are uploaded and managed. This powers your chosen sales channels and provides you with an overview of all your sales, inventory and stock levels.

    In your ShopTill-e account, you’ll automatically get all the tools and features so you can sell where you want :-

    In a retail shop or on the go….
    The products in your central catalogue will be instantly available and ready to sell through the ePOS till system (which can run on your existing POS hardware or even a laptop, tablet or PC). The simple, intuitive till screen layout makes it easy to process customer purchases, seamlessly talks to the card machine for fast transactions, and tracks stock each time a sale is put through.

    If you’re selling online…
    It’s quick to set up your online shop by using the online shop builder, just choose one of the pre-designed online shop themes (or we can design one for you). Make it yours by adding your own logo, branding, imagery and set up your menus, categories, navigation, shipping, payments and you can start selling right away.

    Selling multichannel - in-store and online...
    The ePOS till system and the ecommerce platform can work independently, but if selling multichannel they work seamlessly together and in perfect harmony as an all-in-one retail system. This means your data and stock levels are completely in sync.

    Another great benefit is you only need to add your products once and manage everything in the central catalogue.

    Stock levels automatically and seamlessly adjust each time a sale is made, and with everything in one place - from your products to your customers – it makes it easier to manage, streamlines your processes and lowers your costs.

    Valuable insights about what’s selling, where and when, can be viewed in real-time, making it easier to stay knowledgeable, as well as being more efficient when managing your business.

    No more managing multiple systems and no more chaos.

  • Q6. Is ShopTill-e compatible with my existing hardware?

    Yes! It works on laptop, PC, tablet and as ShopTill-e ePOS is super flexible, it will probably work with the existing point of sale hardware you already have. ShopTill-e epos system does not include the cost of hardware, however if you do need POS hardware then talk to us as we can help.

  • Q7. I have an existing merchant processor, can I still use it with ShopTill-e?

    The ShopTill-e ePOS system is fully synced with Dojo and Paymentsense payment processors. When you ring through a sale the ePOS till talks directly and seamlessly with the card machine, so there's no need to manually enter the payment details which means easier, faster, error-free sales at the till.

    You can use your existing payment provider although the ePOS and card machine will not talk directly but we're able to get great rates with Dojo and Paymentsense, so just talk to us and we can see if we can improve on your existing rates.

    ShopTill-e eCommerce works with PayPal, Stripe and Secure Trading payment providers.
  • Q8. Does ShopTill-e charge fees?

    No, we do not charge transaction fees!
  • Q9. I’m not technical, how easy is it to switch to ShopTill-e and import all my products?

    It’s easy to switch; we’ve made the ShopTill-e screens simple, uncluttered, and intuitive, however we appreciate that you’ve got a lot on your hands and may find it easier if you had assistance with this.

    We want you to know that we’re here to help you every step of the way, so just speak to us and we’ll make the switch even easier for you and help get you up and running, as soon as possible.

    ShopTill-e can support any number of products and it should be possible to export your products out from your existing system into a csv file, and this can then be uploaded into your ShopTill-e account.

    Speak to us first and we’ll make the switch smooth and pain-free.
  • Q10. I have more than one location, can I still use ShopTill-e?

    Yes. Our multi-outlet epos system software allows you to run and manage multiple different stock locations and outlets, which are all powered from one ShopTill-e account for efficient, easy management.

    You can easily check inventory levels for each outlet and transfer items from one location to another if needed.

  • Q11. Does ShopTill-e work for multiple online shops?

    Yes. Our Multi Webshop option allows you to publish multiple different online shops (different domains, different design/theme, different content, products etc) all powered from one ShopTill-e account and catalogue.

    *It's easy to add additional webshops in your ShopTill-e account, and each additional online shop is subject to a plan fee of £35.00 plus vat per month.
  • Q12. I already have an ecommerce website, can I integrate this with ShopTill-e?

    ShopTill-e is an all-in-one system that includes an eCommerce platform, so there's no need to integrate your existing ecommerce website, instead use the ShopTill-e ecommerce platform.

    Choose one the of the pre-designed online shop themes and upload your products, or if you like the look of your existing online shop, just contact us and we can create the same look and feel for you.

    By using ShopTill-e all-in-one, for both your retail point of sale and online ecommerce website, there’s no need to run separate, individual systems.

    This takes away the headache of running multiple systems, keeps inventory under one roof and provides accurate, real-time stock levels each time a sale is made.

    And with everything in one place - from your products to your customers – it not only reduces your costs by only using one system but also makes it easier for you to oversee and manage.

  • Q13. My shop is seasonal, can I suspend my account for a few months each year?

    Yes you can. If you’re using the all-in-one system and would like to continue selling online but not in your retail shop, just simply switch plans to ecommerce only.

    Then when you're ready to sell in your retail shop again, just switch to the all-in one plan... simple.

    However, if you would like to completely suspend your account and not sell anywhere, but want the option of holding onto your data until you’re ready, you can! Just let us know and for a small fee of £5.00 plus vat per month we’ll keep your data for you and when you’re ready to start selling again, just switch to your chosen plan and off you go.
  • Q14. Does ShopTill-e integrate with accounting software?

    We’re not currently directly integrated with any accounting software, however we make it very easy to manage this by providing excellent reporting that can be exported out as a CSV.

    This CSV can be easily uploaded into your chosen accounts package or alternatively some of our customers have given their Accountant access to their ShopTill-e account to access the required information for themselves.

The POS is simple and easy to use, the website side has all the basics and easy to get going. The real draw here is the seamless stock sync between in-store and online, especially if like we do your online and in-store share the same inventory.
