The complete till system for charity shops

Less time on paperwork. More money for your cause.

KindStock arrives in a box: till, printers, scanner and in-shop server, all included. Gift Aid is recorded on every eligible sale without anyone typing it up, volunteers learn the till on their first shift, and the shop keeps taking cash when the internet doesn't.

Why KindStock exists

Built to take work off your plate

Charity shops run on goodwill and volunteer hours, and too many of those hours go into admin that a good till system should simply do. KindStock was built around one idea: reduce the burden on the people running the shop.

Gift Aid, done properly

The till that pays for itself

When a UK taxpayer donates items and they sell, HMRC adds 25p to every £1, at no cost to the shopper. Most shops don't miss out because Gift Aid is hard; they miss out because tracking it by hand is miserable. Already claiming? Then the win is the sales that slip through, and the hours you get back.

25p
added to every eligible £1
The Retail Gift Aid uplift, tracked against each donor on every eligible sale, ready for your claim.
£9,000+
our worked-example shop's yearly claim
A shop turning over £5,000 a month with 60% of sales Gift Aid eligible would have roughly £750 a month to claim.
0
spreadsheets involved
Consent at the kiosk, tracking at the till, and your Gift Aid figures kept straight as you trade. Nothing to type up on a Tuesday afternoon.

Worked example: actual claims depend on your sales mix and signed-up donors.

From first call to first sale

How KindStock arrives

No self-service sign-up, no card form on this website. Setting up a shop properly is a conversation, so that's where it starts.

Step 01

We talk first

Tell us about your shop. You'll speak to the people who build the product, not a sales team reading a script.

Step 02

A box arrives

Till screen, receipt printer, barcode scanner, label printer, cash drawer and the KindStock in-shop server, configured to work together out of the box.

Step 03

We set up together

We onboard your team over a call, set up your shop's locations and pricing rules, and switch on training mode so volunteers can practise safely.

Step 04

You open as usual

Volunteers sign in with a PIN and sell. Everything syncs to your dashboard every couple of minutes, and if the internet drops the shop carries on taking cash.

What's inside

Everything your charity shop needs

From Gift Aid record-keeping to stock management, KindStock handles the lot, so your team can focus on the shop floor.

Gift Aid, built in

Every eligible sale tracked and matched to the right donor, with the donor notices HMRC requires sent on a monthly run you switch on, and your Gift Aid figures ready in the reports. No spreadsheets and no Tuesday afternoons typing.

Stock management volunteers take to

Barcode scanning, one-tap till buttons and plain categories. Most volunteers are pricing and selling by the end of their first shift.

Donors, looked after

Every donor gets a profile: what they've given, what it raised, and whether Gift Aid applies. Their signed declaration is a click away, on paper, as a PDF or by email.

Card payments and the customer's screen

The till drives a SumUp Solo card reader, built and in testing, not yet switched on for live shops. The customer's own display shows the basket, offers a round-up donation and lets them choose their receipt.

Reports you'll actually read

Fifty reports across sales, stock, Gift Aid, staff, finance and audit. Read one on screen, download it as a CSV or PDF, or have it emailed to you.

A till that keeps taking cash

The in-shop server keeps every till taking cash when the connection drops, then syncs to your cloud dashboard when it's back.

Who you're buying from

A note from the team

KindStock is a small team. We built it after watching charity shops wrestle with tills designed for supermarkets, and Gift Aid processes held together with spreadsheets and goodwill.

We think charity retail deserves tools built for how it actually works: donated stock, volunteer teams, and every pound accounted for. So that's what we make. When you call, you get the people who write the software, not a call centre.

If that sounds like the kind of company you'd rather buy from, we'd love to talk.
