Three generations of retail systems. One engine for the age of assistants.
Run your whole shop with your assistant.
One engine for catalog, stock, checkout, payments, purchasing, customers and the books. Claude, ChatGPT or your own assistant works it with only the permissions you give, and shows you every change before it happens. $15 a month, everything included.

One engine, made for the age of assistants
Most retail stacks are a patchwork — a till from one vendor, inventory from another, spreadsheets holding it together; every seam costs you.
AlmondTill is one engine on one record of truth: the counter, the stockroom and the books read the same facts, so they can never disagree. Receiving lands the stock, the stock feeds the books, sell-through drives the buying suggestions.
catalog & stock · checkout · payments & tenders · pricing, tax & promotions · purchasing & transfers · customers & loyalty · the books behind them all
Headless first.
Every operation of the shop — 1000+ on one open API — is reachable from our back office, our command line, your own tools and your assistant. Nothing is held behind our screens.
AI first.
Claude, ChatGPT or your own assistant works the whole shop within the access you grant. AlmondTill holds the records, the rules and the operations; your assistant reasons and coordinates; your other tools make the documents. Every change is rehearsed and shown to you before it happens. The built-in intelligence suggests replenishment, rebalancing, allocation and markdowns from your real sell-through — and moves nothing until you approve it.
Agentic everything.
Your assistant can run the buying review, draft a supplier's range, schedule a promotion and read the week after. AI shoppers can buy from you over the open UCP standard, on your terms. A small team does what used to take a department: a lot more with a lot less.
Every price on this page is in US dollars.
More with less
$15 a month for your whole business, everything included — every feature, every user, every register, every location — and $10 of it comes back every month as work: kernels, the till's unit of work. No per-user, per-register or per-location charges, no transaction fees, no percentage of your sales. A quiet month stays $15.
What a month actually looks like, all in: one register about $17 · three registers about $47 · four stores about $239 · fifteen stores about $886 — estimates priced the way the meter prices them.
How switching works
Nothing about it is a leap: AlmondTill runs beside your current system, on your own data, and you expand only when the numbers agree — headless first, AI first, API first at every step.
- Apply, and a person answers. Every application is read by a human; your account arrives by reply, and your first 90 days of human help are included.
- Bring your data — three honest paths. Hand the wizards what you have — a price list, a supplier sheet, product photos, as PDF, images, text, or CSV — and the built-in intelligence drafts the fields for you to check, record by record, before anything is written. Have volume? The same open API takes your catalog, purchase orders, receipts, transfers, and stock counts from your own tools or your assistant. And our people do the data work with you when you ask — included while you get set up. And nothing is taken on faith: your catalog can be tried dry first — the API rehearses each create or update and answers with the refusals before anything is written.
- Run one location or one workflow beside your current system. Receive, count, price, and report on real days — through the back office, your assistant, or the API — and compare the numbers. Nothing in your old system changes.
- Expand when you're satisfied. Add locations and workflows on the same $15 — your base fee never rises when you add users, registers, or locations.
Every step leaves a record you can read — what was created, by whom, when — on the same permanent log as everything else.
Where we come from, where we are heading

Where we come from
The people behind AlmondTill have built retail systems since 1993 as Microhouse Systems Inc. (mhsystems.com): the Business Applications Platform, then FashionSense and RMS MultiFlex, running shops from a single boutique to national chains. AlmondTill continues that work as G3N, the third generation, rebuilt from the ground up for the age of assistants. AlmondTill is new. The people, the practice and the lessons behind it are not.

Where we are heading
Built bottom-up, AI first, in that order: a capability lands in the engine and its open API first, where your assistant can use it the same day; our screens follow. Live today: the engine, the back office, the register, the assistants at the till, agentic commerce and the planning intelligence. Next, on the same $15: the register on Stripe's readers and on phones, your own storefront, richer reporting, a marketplace of integrations. No dates promised; what's live is listed, month by month.

What's live today
- The engine and its open API — 1000+ operations on one schema.
- The back office — the screens your team runs the business from, built on the same API.
- The register — a browser point of sale inside the back office: pair a device, open the till, sell, take cash and card, handle returns, close the till.
- AI assistants at the till — Claude, ChatGPT or your own, with only the permissions you assign.
- Agentic commerce — AI shopping agents buying from your shop over the open UCP standard, on your terms.
- Aldric, the built-in consultant, and the planning intelligence — suggesting, and moving nothing until you approve it.
The full picture: what's live today, and what shipped, month by month.
Four fair questions
When can I start?
We're onboarding a first wave of merchants now. Apply today — a person reads every application, and you start as small as you like, on your own data.
What does it cost?
Fifteen dollars a month for your whole business, $10 of it returned every month as that month's included kernels — metered openly in kernels, a million of them a dime, less in bulk. The month's kernels are used first and expire with the month; kernels you buy bank and never expire. No transaction fees, no percentage of your sales, no per-user or per-register charges. The pricing page shows what a month actually looks like at four sizes, the included human help and the support plans, and the Stripe give-back. Applying is free — no payment details, no billing obligation. Start your evaluation.
How does my data move over?
Three ways: hand the wizards what you have and check the drafted fields; push volume through the open API from your own tools or your assistant; or ask our people to do the data work with you, included while you get set up. Your catalog can be tried dry first — the refusals come back, in plain words, before anything is written. Your current system keeps running, untouched, while you evaluate. How switching works, step by step.
What if I need human help?
Your first 90 days include complimentary onboarding support — the same human help the support plan provides, included at the base price. The honest goal is that you won't need us after. When you do ask, staffed help is $50 per incident, agreed before work starts — or all-encompassing under a quarterly support plan. Coverage starts 72 hours after purchase — a plan cannot be bought mid-emergency; until then human incidents bill at $50 each.
More — the internet, the counter, your accountant, your data: Honest answers.
One API underneath
Everything the till does lives on one open API — our screens, the command line and your assistant use the same operations. Developer documentation.
{ products { items { sysId caption status } } }A real query, straight off the wire — 1000+ operations, one schema, no side doors.
Learn how it works
Now onboarding our first wave
We're onboarding a first wave of merchants and review every application personally. It's a controlled first wave by design — start small, prove it on your own data, and expand when you're satisfied.
We're onboarding merchants in Canada, United States, Australia and New Zealand first — applications from other countries can't be accepted yet.
- Tell us about your shop. A few minutes, free — no payment details, no billing obligation.
- A person reads it. Every application, personally. Your account arrives by reply.
- Prove it on your own data. One location or one workflow beside your current system — expand when you're satisfied.
- Owners verify identity. Through Stripe, once ever — a verified account is never asked again, whatever you open next.
Opening your first shop instead of replacing a system? Same door: you start on the engine you'll never outgrow, at the same $15 from day one.
