POS software for shoe shops
POS software for shoe shops: every size carries its own stock, so you know what you have without going down to the stockroom.
No credit card. No lock-in.
Shoe shops up and down the country already run Catinfog
From single shops to chains with several branches. An average rating of 4.6 out of 5 on Trustpilot.
I’m sticking with Catinfog for how simple and effective it is. It’s saved me a great deal of time.

For shoe shops
A point of sale built for footwear
A shoe shop lives and dies by its sizes. Catinfog gives every size of every style its own stock and its own barcode, so what you see on screen is what’s in the box.
Sizes
Check a size without leaving the customer
Someone asks for a 41 in that boot. You look it up on screen and you know straight away whether you have it, in which colour, and how many pairs are left.
No more disappearing into the stockroom to come back empty-handed.
Touchscreen
Sell by tapping the screen
The interface is built to add products to the basket in as few taps as possible. Finishing a sale or handling a refund is two taps.
On the move
Your shop in your pocket
Check how the day is going, who’s on the till and how much is in it, from your phone, wherever you happen to be.
Online shop
An online shop built in
The POS comes with an online shop that shares the same catalogue and the same stock. A pair sold in the shop comes off the website straight away, and the other way round.
Labels
Barcode labels for every size
Generate the labels for a whole delivery and print them in one go, each with its size. No going box by box.
The size curve
You didn’t sell out. You sold out of 39s
A model with only 36s and 45s left is not a model in stock: it is a shelf full of the sizes nobody asks for. Each size counts on its own, so what you are looking at is what you can actually sell rather than a single number that flatters you.
When you reorder, you order the middle of the curve, which is where the money went in the first place.
While they’re sitting down
“Have you got these in a 41?”
The customer has the shoe in their hand and their coat still on. Scan the box and the screen tells you what sizes are left before you walk to the stockroom, so you come back with the box or with an answer instead of empty-handed twice.
Half a minute either way is what decides whether they try the other pair or put their coat back on.
End of season
Everything left in August is worth less in September
Footwear does not keep its price. Drop a whole line or a whole season at once rather than model by model, and the new price applies at the counter and in the online shop straight away.
The ticket still records what you actually charged, so at the end of the sale you can see what the markdown cost you and what it cleared.
Coming back
She’s a 38 and she wore the last pair out
A customer who comes back once a year does not remember what she bought, but her record does: the model, the size and when she took it. That is what lets you put the right box in front of her without an interview.
It is also what settles a return politely — you can see what was sold, when and for how much, without either of you having to find the receipt.

Everything it does
More of what the POS does
Every feature we’ve built is there to make your shop more productive.
Give your staff different permissions
If you’d rather your staff didn’t get into certain parts of the POS, you can stop them. Keep the dashboard — with everything about the shop and the stock — for managers and owners only.
Bring the data across from your old POS
Import your old system’s products and customers in bulk from a spreadsheet. It’s as simple as putting the columns in order and importing. The move is done in seconds.
Send your accountant the figures in one click
Forget sending hundreds of PDFs every quarter. Download your sales and refunds to a spreadsheet in one click and send it over. Easier for you, and a relief for them.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
What do I need to get started with Catinfog?
Almost nothing special: a computer, a receipt printer, a cash drawer, a barcode scanner and an internet connection. With that, all you have to do is sign up and set the POS running.
Does each shoe size have its own stock?
Yes. Every size of every style carries its own stock and its own barcode, so you always know exactly how many pairs you have of each one. A style in eight sizes and three colours is still a single product in your catalogue, not twenty-four.
Can I print labels for a whole delivery at once?
Yes. You generate the barcodes for the delivery and send every label to the printer in one go, each with its size. There’s no need to go box by box or to use a separate program.
Will it work with the printer and scanner I already have?
Almost certainly. Any thermal receipt printer will do — Epson, Star, Approx and the rest — and any barcode scanner, wired or wireless. We’ve tested more than 100 models.
Does each size count as its own stock?
Yes. A model with only 36s and 45s left is not a model in stock, and the POS shows it that way rather than as one number. When you reorder you can see which part of the curve actually sold.
Can I check a size without going to the stockroom?
Yes. Scan the box and the screen tells you what sizes are left, so you come back with the box or with an answer instead of empty-handed twice.
Can I mark down a whole season at once?
Yes, a whole line or a whole season rather than model by model, and the new price applies at the counter and in the online shop straight away. The ticket still records what you actually charged, so you can see what the markdown cleared.
Will it remember a customer’s size?
Their record keeps the model, the size and when they bought it, which is what lets you put the right box in front of them a year later. It is also what settles a return without either of you finding the receipt.
