Built for confidence

See what you are buying before you commit.

Cinder earns trust through a working product, clear published starting points, isolated tenant data, and written setup terms—not unsupported badges.

Database-per-tenant isolation

Each customer tenant runs in its own PostgreSQL database. Contacts, orders, users, and store records are not shared across tenants.

Published pricing

Basic starts at $79/month and Premium at $109/month. Both include 1 register; each additional register is $15/month.

Real interface screenshots

Website product views come from the working Cinder POS and reporting interface rather than fictional marketing mockups.

Clear payment boundaries

Published examples cover supported in-store card-present payments. Final rates and processor terms remain in the approved Deluxe agreement.

Review payment details

Guided launch

Setup covers company details, confirmed tax decisions, staff roles, registers, terminals, printing, and hardware compatibility.

Demo access may require credentials supplied by Cinder. Demo transactions do not represent live merchant processing.

One focused retail system

From the first scan to the final report.

Every part of Cinder is shaped around the work that happens at a real counter: sell quickly, know what moved, close cleanly, and keep the right people informed.

Fast checkout

Product search, barcode scanning, cash, card-present payments, receipts, and shift controls.

Inventory visibility

Organize SKUs, edit retail fields quickly, receive stock, and review movement and valuation.

Retail reporting

Daily sales, products, payments, cashier performance, tax, inventory, refunds, voids, and discounts.

Deluxe integration

Route supported in-store EMV transactions to a configured terminal and reconcile settlement activity.

Know the store

Reporting designed for the questions owners actually ask.

See what sold, who rang it up, how it was paid, what changed in inventory, and where refunds or discounts need attention.

Details that make a shift easier

More than a payment screen.

Purpose-built connections keep the counter moving and the back office understandable.

Direct receipt printing

The Cinder Windows agent supports margin-free ESC/POS receipts, cutting, and printer-controlled cash drawers.

Clear staff roles

Give cashiers a focused register while managers and advanced users get the tools their work requires.

Charge accounts

Attach a customer and turn pay-later sales into invoices directly from the register workflow.

Guided setup

Configure company details, tax, users, registers, terminals, and printing through one onboarding path.

Specialty retail support

General retail at the center. Smoke and vape experience built in.

Cinder supports the large catalogs and controlled product categories common to smoke and vape stores. Restricted SKUs stay out of online publication while remaining available for lawful in-store sales.

Before & after

What changes when the counter and back office share one system.

Convenience

From spreadsheet close to same-day visibility

Before: Sales lived in one tool, inventory in another, and end-of-day was a spreadsheet.

After: Checkout, stock movement, and payment review land in one operating view after every shift.

Specialty

Large catalogs without register chaos

Before: Cashiers hunted SKUs while managers struggled to see what actually sold.

After: Category-organized POS, barcode scanning, and product reports keep busy counters measurable.

Multi-register

Clearer settlements as volume grows

Before: Card totals and register activity were hard to reconcile across stations.

After: Per-register Deluxe terminals and settlement tools make payment review practical.

Retailer priorities

Clarity at the counter. Confidence at close.

Three practical outcomes Cinder is designed to deliver for independent stores.

Faster sales

Ring sales quickly while keeping product lookup, barcode scanning, receipts, and shift controls together.

Cleaner payment review

Connect card-present payments with register activity and practical settlement reconciliation.

Clear buying decisions

Review plan scope, register costs, published rates, and hardware requirements before committing.

Verified customer testimonials and client logos will be added here only with merchant approval.
