Can I sell in person with Crate?
Yes. Crate point of sale rings up a sale at a counter, a market stall or a pop-up, and it runs on the same catalogue, prices and stock as the business's online store. A Crate register takes card, bank transfer and cash, and the receipt is printed or sent to the customer. A counter sale in Crate draws down the same stock an online order does, so one stock number stays true everywhere. Crate point of sale runs in a browser on a phone, a tablet or a laptop, so it needs no dedicated till hardware. Amounts are in the merchant's own currency, USD in the United States and NGN in Nigeria.
What it does
Capabilities
The everyday things a real counter needs, without a second app to reconcile at close.
Split tender and change
Take part card and part cash, with the change worked out for you.
Park and retrieve
Hold a sale, serve the next customer, and come back to it.
Z-report per shift
Close the drawer with a clear report by staff member and location.
In-person refunds
Refund or exchange against a past sale right at the counter.
More than one location
Run several shops from the same catalog and see each one separately.
Who it is for
Fit
The register earns its place the moment the same stock is being sold in two places at once.
You have a shop and a website
Two systems means two stock counts and a weekly reconciliation. One catalog behind both removes the reconciliation entirely.
You trade at markets and pop-ups
The register runs in a browser on a phone, so the counter goes wherever the stall does.
You are opening a second location
Stock, staff and takings are reported per location, so you can tell which one is actually working.
Setup
How it works
Nothing to buy. The register runs in a browser on hardware you already own.
- Open the register on a phone, a tablet or a laptop.
- Search or scan a product from the catalog you already have.
- Take card, transfer or cash, and split the payment if you need to.
- Print or send the receipt, and watch the stock update everywhere.
Set up from a phone. No developer, no plugin to buy, nothing to install.
