Retail management · AI-first · Headless-first
The till your whole business runs on.
One platform for catalog, stock, checkout, payments, pricing, promotions, and the books behind them — every part of your retail operation, finally in agreement.
One engine. No seams.
Most retail stacks are a patchwork — a till from one vendor, inventory from another, spreadsheets holding it together. Every seam costs you: stock that doesn't match the shelf, prices that don't match the promise, tax worked out twice.
Almond Till is built as a single engine on a single record of truth. The counter, the stockroom, and the books read the same facts — so they can never disagree.
Plenty of platforms will sell you everything in one place, more or less. A bundle isn't the difference — what the system does with it is. Almond Till comes with the workflows built in: receiving lands the stock, the stock feeds the books, sell-through drives the buying suggestions. The till carries the work between the parts, instead of leaving you to be the glue.
And because it's AI-first, even moving in feels human. Bring what you have — spreadsheets, exports from the old system, a binder of price lists — and the built-in intelligence does the tedious shaping while you check its work. It's the same rule as everywhere in Almond Till: it does the work, you approve it.
Built for merchants
Not for feature checklists. Not for demo day. Almond Till is built for the person who opens the shop, counts the drawer, stands behind the counter, and answers for the numbers — whether that's you at one till or your team across a hundred stores. Every screen, every suggestion, every price on this page was decided by one question: does it help a merchant do more with less?
Five dollars a month. Everything included.
The point of one engine is doing more with less — less cost, less complexity, less wasted time. So the price is simple: $5 a month for your whole business, whether you run one register or a thousand stores. No transaction fees. No percentage of your sales. No per-user, per-register, or per-location charges. Whatever your payment processor charges is between you and them.
$5/month
Every feature, every user, every register, every location. Nothing is fenced off behind a bigger plan — there is no bigger plan.
Plus only what you use
Beyond the $5, your till keeps a small prepaid balance — like topping up a phone plan. Each bit of work it does for you (ringing a sale, updating stock, running a report) draws a tiny, known amount, and keeping years of records costs a little for the space they take. You can read the meter any time: every draw shows up in your usage report, in plain words. Top up more at once and it costs less. And it's fair in both directions: in a quiet month — the slow season, the short weeks — the meter barely moves, so the bill barely does either. You pay for the month you had, not the month a flat subscription assumed.

What a month actually looks like
Four honest examples, priced the way the meter prices them — sales rung, stock received, prices updated, orders and transfers worked, reports read, planning suggestions run. Reading your numbers counts too: a query is work the till does for you. And heavier thinking meters higher — a demanding planning run draws more than a simple lookup — with every draw itemized in plain words.

Estimates, not quotes — the $5 base plus metered work at each size's typical bulk top-up price. Your month is your month: the meter reads what actually happened.
Everyday guidance is part of the subscription: the Almond consultant, there for any user — from "how do I receive this purchase order?" to how to run your shop better on Almond Till.

Built AI-first
Almond Till isn't a program you're locked inside — it's a platform your tools can drive. Everything the till does lives on one open API, so AI assistants like Claude Cowork or Codex can work the back office with you: answer questions from your real data, prepare orders, chase down a discrepancy, draft the promotion calendar. Your workflow, your tools — our screens are optional.

A till that does the thinking
Almond Till's built-in intelligence works your numbers the way a good planner would — and shows its work. Replenishment suggestions from real sell-through. Store-to-store rebalancing before a stockout costs you the sale. Allocation that puts new stock where it will actually sell. Markdown plans that protect margin instead of panic-cutting it. Dated price lists and sale schedules that keep every channel honest.
And none of it is a black box: every suggestion shows the reasoning behind it, every rule is yours to question and adjust — by store, by season, by brand — and nothing moves until you approve it. The system suggests; you decide. Open-to-buy planning and demand forecasting are next, on the same foundation.

Built different
One API for everything
Nothing is screen-only. Anything the till can do, your systems can do — the same operations, the same rules, no side doors.
Strict by default
Bad data is refused at the door with a clear, auditable reason — not discovered in your books at month-end.
Built to last
Every change is an event on a permanent log. Your records can be replayed, audited, and trusted — years later.
Why not the usual platforms?
You know the names. Here's the difference, plainly:
- The usual platforms price per register, per user, per location — then take a slice of every sale on top.
- Almond Till is $5 a month, flat. No slices. Growing never raises our price — and in a quiet month, you pay barely more than the $5.
- They ship a thin core, then send you to an app store to buy the rest — the patchwork, sold back to you one subscription at a time.
- Everything is in the box here: promotions, real tax, transfers, loyalty, purchasing, the books. One engine, no seams to pay for.
- They keep your capability behind their screens and your data behind their walls.
- Nothing here is screen-only. One open API and a permanent record you can always read — your business, portable by design.
- They added an AI feature. We built an AI-first platform.
- Assistants don't get a widget — they get the whole till: your real numbers, real work prepared for you, in your own workflow.
Headless first
The entire platform is an API. Our own screens are just consumers of it — and so is anything you build. Connect your storefront, script your back office, automate the boring parts.
{ products { sysId caption status } }A real query, straight off the wire — 700+ operations, one schema, no side doors.
Where this is going
The subscription grows with the platform — everything below lands on the same $5, as it ships:
- Your own online storefront — sell on the web from the same catalog and stock.
- Agentic commerce — AI shopping agents buying from your shop over the open UCP standard.
- Point of sale on Stripe's smart readers, and on Android, iPhone, and iPad.
- Richer reporting and BI feeds into the tools you already use.
- A marketplace of integrations — ours and others' (each with its own terms and pricing).
