Flat price, not a percentage

Most POS systems earn their money by taking a slice of every swipe. Flattill is $29 or $79 a month, full stop. Ring up $5,000 or $50,000; the bill is the same.

⇆

Keep your processor

Flattill is not a payment processor and never locks you into one. Use the reader and merchant account you already have, and shop for a better rate whenever you like.

Works when the wifi doesn't

Every sale is saved on the device before the receipt prints. When the connection comes back, sales sync in order with receipt numbers and no duplicates. Festivals, trucks and basements welcome.

What the percentage really costs

A counter doing $20,000 a month in cards pays $520 in percentage alone at a typical bundled 2.6% + 10¢ rate, before the 10¢ on every ticket. Flattill doesn't touch that money: you pay your processor directly, which means you can negotiate it, switch it, or use a cheaper one. Flattill is a flat $29 on top, whatever your volume.

What Flattill isn't

Flattill doesn't process cards itself (your reader does), doesn't run online ordering or payroll, and isn't a ten-year-old company. It's a focused, fast register with a straight price, built and supported by people who answer email. If you need an enterprise suite, we'll say so.

Questions

Do I need to buy hardware?

No. Flattill runs in the browser on any iPad, Android tablet, Fire tablet, phone or laptop and installs to the home screen like an app. Add any receipt printer your device can print to and any barcode scanner that types.

How do card payments work?

You keep your existing card reader and merchant account (Square reader, Clover, your bank's terminal, anything). You take the card on it as you do today, and record the payment in Flattill with the amount and an optional reference. Integrated card-present payments are on the roadmap for Pro.

What happens when the internet goes down?

You keep selling. The register caches your catalog and staff PINs, saves every sale on the device before showing "Paid," and syncs in order when the connection returns. Nothing is lost and nothing is duplicated.

Can I get my data out?

Yes, any time, in one click: your complete database plus CSV reports. There's no lock-in and no exit fee.

Is there a contract?

No. Month to month. Cancel from your billing page.

Can I run it on my own server?

Yes. Flattill is a single Node.js service with a SQLite database per store. Ask us about self-hosted and reseller options.

Who's behind Flattill?

A small, independent team in Detroit. You'll get answers from the people who built it, not a ticket queue.
