Slip is a standalone iPad and iPhone POS for small shops. The core sales flow stays local and simple, while selected hardware and cloud services can connect around it when a shop needs more.
Small shops often start with the POS itself, then add the specific tools that make service easier: devices on the counter and services around the order flow.
Slip can support partner conversations around the tools small shops already understand: receipt printers, label printers, and QR code scanners.
Slip should not force every shop into a cloud platform. But when a shop wants online flows, the POS core can connect with services that bring orders into the shift.
The goal is not to turn Slip into another back-office platform. The goal is to keep the daily sales flow dependable, then integrate around the edges where a partner product makes the shop easier to run.
Slip works best with partners who make the shop's daily rhythm clearer, not heavier.
| Partner area | Good fit | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Receipt and order printers | Reliable output during service, simple setup, clear device behavior. | Paper should help the counter move, not become a separate system to manage. |
| Label printers | Labels for prep, pickup, item handling, or order organization. | Labels can reduce verbal handoff when a small team is busy. |
| QR code scanners | Fast scan input for items, pickup references, or partner workflows. | Scanning can make repeated actions faster without adding more screens. |
| QR code ordering | Customer ordering that can pass useful order information into the POS flow. | The shop can add a self-order path while keeping the counter view focused. |
| Online ordering | Direct orders that fit the shop's existing order and close process. | More order channels should still end in a clear daily operation. |
If your hardware or service helps small shops sell, print, scan, order, or close the day with less friction, we should talk.
