A ShopMate till does more than simply add up the transactions in your store. Our software provides you with regular price updates, reporting, security enhancements and back ups.

ShopMate till

We keep logs of all the calls we receive in our Tech Support department – these technical calls can sometimes include issues or feature requests. Tech Support work closely with our in-house Developers to ensure issues are quickly ironed out and to keep the software feature rich and working efficiently for all our retailer customers.

We update our software during the evening hours to avoid any issues that could slow or stop your daily operations. Overnight we send updates to your tills – usually in batches to ensure a smooth transition. Updates can only reach tills that are left switched on.

We recommend that ShopMate tills are left on overnight. There are many benefits to leaving ShopMate switched on after your store closes:

  • The tills perform automatic data backups to aid recovery in the event of an issue
  • Prices, promotions, and product updates are completed
  • ShopMate software is updated with new features, security enhancements, and issue resolutions

ShopMate does not consume excessive energy out of hours as it goes into a low-power mode.

Please leave your tills on to ensure a smooth and efficient experience using the ShopMate system.

Tobacco Duty Increase

Important: Don’t Switch Off Your Till

Following the Tobacco Duty Increase, some prices in your store will change. We’re working closely with wholesalers and suppliers to make sure any necessary price updates are applied as quickly as possible.

  • Prices will update automatically.

  • You’ll receive a message on your ShopMate EPOS system when the update is complete.

  • Do not reboot or switch off your till – doing so will delay the update. The system needs to stay on to receive and apply the new pricing.

  • Once updated, it can take 2–3 hours for the cache to fully refresh.

  • Don’t forget to update your Shelf-Edge Labels (SELs) to reflect any new prices.

  • Any questions call our Technical Support Team on 01780 480 562 (9am – 5pm).
