Stock is a guess
The shelf looks full until a customer asks for the one thing that sells every day.
Retail shops and provision stores
Know every item. Serve every customer.
Barcodes, stock counts, reorder warnings, customers who buy on credit and a till you can trust. Payble gives a shop the tools of a much bigger one, in the same app you take payments with.

Sound familiar?
The everyday headaches of retail shops and provision stores.
Credit lives in an exercise book
Regulars buy on credit, and remembering who owes what is a job in itself.
Staff and cash are hard to watch
You cannot be at the counter all day, so you need to know what happened while you were away.
Fits how you trade
However you run it, it fits.
Provision stores and kiosks
Hundreds of small items and regulars who buy on credit.
- A catalogue with barcodes and SKUs

Supermarkets and larger shops
Several staff, several tills and real stock to manage.
- Shift counts per till
- Roles for cashiers and managers
- Reorder levels on every line
Specialist and gift shops
Fewer items, higher prices, more explaining.
