Most till systems were chosen before the card processor. Then ripped out when the card processor changed. We pair tills to processors instead — one integrated install, no downtime, Klarna and Clearpay included by default.
We don’t force a till on you. We look at what you’re already processing on, what your stock looks like, and what your staff can learn on a Sunday night. Then we recommend one till to pair.
| Current card processor | Sector | Recommended till | Why | Integration fit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Square flat rate |
Cafe / bar / retail | Square Stand | Native. Zero config. | NATIVE |
| SumUp pay-as-you-go |
Pop-up / market / salon | Epos Now Mini | Bluetooth tether. Stock + staff. | RECOMMENDED |
| TakePayments contract |
Restaurant / high-turnover retail | Lightspeed Restaurant | Kitchen display, table mgmt, integrated Klarna. | RECOMMENDED |
| Worldpay interchange+ |
Multi-site retail / hospitality | Lightspeed Retail X | Multi-site stock, ERP-ready, Amex & Clearpay. | RECOMMENDED |
| Stripe direct |
E-comm + physical | Clover Flex / Stripe Terminal | Unified online + in-person reporting. | CASE-BY-CASE |
| Legacy / bank-provided Barclaycard / Lloyds / similar |
Any | Re-benchmark first | Likely overpaying processing; pair till after rate fix. | REBENCHMARK |
// Recommendations are sector-adjusted. A single-till hair salon doesn’t need Lightspeed Retail X; a three-location bistro doesn’t want Square Stand. We size to the operation.
Your card rate is cleaner.
Your stock count is live.
Your staff log in with a PIN.
Your Clearpay settles nightly.
Card reconciliation: every transaction in the till is matched to a line in your merchant statement automatically. No more Friday-evening spreadsheet.
Stock integration: items sold ring down the stock count in real time. When stock hits a reorder threshold, the till raises a prompt — or an auto-PO if we’ve wired it to your wholesaler.
Klarna & Clearpay: enabled on day one for every till we install. Most retailers see average ticket up 12–18% within 60 days of turning them on.
Staff & shifts: PIN-login per staff member, sales attributed to the person who rang them, shift-end reports that reconcile cash drawer vs card + refunds vs voids.
Training: one of our desk leads spends two hours in your shop on install morning. Your staff leave knowing the till. We pick up support calls for 90 days.
We visit the shop, watch one Saturday’s trade, and come back with a pairing. No obligation. Usually 45 minutes on site.
