General Retail Business Pack
A shop till should not have a worse day than your internet connection.
The General Retail pack is the straightforward one, and that is the point: the base product already is a fast till with real stock control, so this pack tunes the words and the fields rather than bolting on a new module.
How the day actually runs
- 1Add items with brand, colour and size — the three fields a clothing or gift shop reaches for first.
- 2Sell the specific variant, so stock is right at the size level rather than the style level.
- 3Take payment, print, and hand over. The sale is committed to the database on that PC.
- 4Quote a customer who is thinking about it, and turn the quotation into a sale later.
- 5Reorder against supplier records and reorder points, and see stock turnover in the dashboard.
What changes the moment you pick this pack
- Products become
- Items — “Add Item”, “No items found”
- Tax defaults to
- Sales Tax, added on top of the shelf price
- Advanced features on
- Quotations, Deliveries and Time Clock
General Retail is one of 8 Business Packs that ship with every edition, and you can switch pack later from Settings without losing data. See all 8 packs.

What this pack does not do
- There is no built-in e-commerce storefront and no marketplace sync. AlphaTill runs the shop; it does not run your online channel.
- If your trade is food, parts or a restaurant, a different pack fits better — switching is a setting, and it does not lose data.
And the part that has nothing to do with your trade
Whichever pack you pick, the database is on your computer: if our website or servers go down, your point of sale keeps working. You can keep trading through an internet outage, because selling, printing and inventory run against the database on your own machine. What does need us: activating AlphaTill on a new device, buying or changing a plan, and the customer portal.
