At the till
Ring up a sale in seconds
The screen your cashiers live on all day — fast, calm and uncluttered, with the total always front and centre.
Lightning checkout & scanning
Scan a barcode or tap a product and it's in the cart. Take cash, card or a split of both, print and open the drawer in seconds.
Quick-key grid
Pin your best-sellers to a one-tap grid, so the busy items — coffee, scratch tickets, single cigarettes — ring up without a scan.
Age-restricted prompts
Tobacco, vapes and other age-restricted items stop the cashier to check ID before the sale can complete — every time.
The back office
The back office, built in
Tabs for your regulars, stock that reorders itself and pricing that just works — the day-to-day of running the shop, handled on the same machine that rings the sales.
- Unlimited products, categories & barcodes
- Low-stock alerts & reorder suggestions
- House tabs, promotions & multi-buy pricing
- Customer directory & purchase history
Your whole catalogue
Search, filter and edit every product in one place. Unlimited products, categories and barcodes, with an eye on stock and margins.
House accounts & tabs
Let trusted regulars run a tab with a credit limit, take payments any time, and keep a running balance that can't drift.
Purchasing & reordering
Track stock as you sell, scan-to-receive purchase orders, act on low-stock alerts and reorder suggestions, and keep your suppliers in one place.
Promotions & multi-buy
Set up multi-buy deals and scheduled happy-hour pricing once; Estura applies them automatically at the till.
Money & reporting
Close the day with the numbers you need
A clean end-of-day close, tax broken out for remittance, and a plain-language read on where your money went — all on one dashboard.
- Live sales, profit & margin
- Tax collected, ready for remittance
- X/Z day-close with per-cashier totals
X/Z day-close reports
Read an X-report any time without closing, then run a sequential Z to close the register with per-cashier totals for remittance.
Sales & tax at a glance
The day's sales, tax collected and average basket in one Overview — the figures you actually check between customers.
Cost & margin
Weighted-average cost captured from receiving flows into profit per sale, so you can see which lines actually earn.
Employees
Every cashier accountable, every shift
Give each person their own login and the right level of access — and see exactly who rang what.
PIN login & roles
Each employee signs in with a personal PIN. Owners, managers and cashiers each see only what their role should — sensitive actions sit behind a manager PIN.
Time clock & timesheets
Staff clock in and out right on the till, and managers get timesheets that add up the hours — no separate app, no paper.
Cashier accountability
Every sale, refund, void and no-sale is tied to the person who rang it, with a per-cashier report to catch problems early.
Hardware & devices
Works with the gear you already own
A Windows PC and a scanner is enough to start. Add an Epson or Star printer, a cash drawer and a second screen whenever you're ready.
Epson & Star receipts & cash drawer
Prints to Epson or Star receipt printers with a built-in receipt designer, and pops a standard cash drawer through the printer.
Customer-facing display
Put the running total and a thank-you on a second monitor, styled to match your store — so shoppers see every line as it rings.
Barcode scanning & your gear
Any standard USB (HID) barcode scanner works out of the box — no drivers, no lock-in. Run it lean or add hardware as your store grows.

Offline & peace of mind
It keeps working — and keeps your data safe
The register runs on your own PC, so an outage never stops a sale. Everything important is backed up, updated and yours.
Sells with no internet
Ring sales, print receipts and open the drawer with the connection down. The till re-checks your subscription in the background when it's connected; only 30 days fully offline would pause new sales.
Encrypted backups & export
Automatic encrypted backups on the till — and point Estura at a cloud folder or USB drive to keep an off-site copy too, so a drive failure doesn't wipe you out. Export your own copy anytime.
Free automatic updates
New versions install themselves in seconds and never cost extra — you're always on the latest Estura, and never forced to update mid-shift.
Phone companion
Check today's sales, stock and staff from your phone — at home or on the road — over a private link to your own store PC. Nothing runs on a public website.
One subscription. Everything above, included.
Every feature on this page, $94.99/mo per till — 0% of your sales, cancel anytime.
