Find shops near you — or run your own with POS, inventory and staff tools.
PinStro is two things in one app: a way to find the shops around you, and the
toolkit to run a shop of your own.
Search for what you need and see which nearby shops actually have it. Or open your own shop and run it from your phone — ring up sales, track stock, manage staff, print receipts.
FOR SHOPPERS
Find what is near you
• See shops around you on the map, nearest first
• Browse by category — hardware, groceries, pharmacy, and more
• Search for a product and see which nearby shops have it in stock
• See how far each shop is before you set out
Look before you go
• Open a shop's page and browse its full catalog with photos and prices
• See variants — size, colour, design — and what is actually in stock
• Spot shops that have verified their business
• Get directions when you are ready to visit
• Save the areas you search often, and pick one again in a tap
• Block a shop to keep it out of your results, and undo it in Settings
FOR SHOP OWNERS
Point of sale
• Ring up sales in person, take cash, and see the change to hand back
• Scan barcodes and QR codes at the till with your camera
• Print receipts to a Bluetooth ESC/POS thermal printer (58mm or 80mm)
• Reprint a receipt later, with the same amount tendered
Products and stock
• Build a catalog with photos, prices and stock counts
• Give a product variants — size, colour, design — each with its own photo, price and stock
• Stock updates as you sell, so what shoppers see is what you actually have
Getting found
• Your shop is on the map from the moment you create it
• Your catalog is what shoppers search, so listing a product is how you get found
Staff
• Invite staff as a manager or a cashier, with different permissions
• Set work hours so a cashier can only ring up sales during their shift
• Every action is recorded, so you can see who did what and when
More than one shop
• Run several shops from one account and switch between them
• Each shop keeps its own catalog, staff and sales
Sharing shelf space (subrent)
• Host another seller's stock on your shelf, or place your stock in theirs
• Sell hosted items at your own till, with the revenue split agreed up front
• Every quantity change is auditable, and either side can end the arrangement
• Settle a period from a statement both shops can see
Your numbers
• See what sold, when, and how much you took
• Sales records stay yours — nothing is published without you choosing to
ANY ACCOUNT CAN DO BOTH
There is no separate shopper app. Browse the shops near you without an account at all; sign up when you want to sell, and you open a shop from the same account.
PinStro is a directory, not a marketplace. You find the shop, then you go there or contact them. There is no cart and no checkout — nothing is bought in the app.
PLANS
Every feature is free on every plan. Paid plans do not unlock features; they raise how much you can create — more shops, more products per shop, more variants per product, more staff seats, more shelf-sharing arrangements.
The point of sale, inventory, staff roles and analytics work the same whether you pay or not. If your plan lapses, nothing of yours is deleted — you keep everything you built and simply stop adding beyond the free limits until you renew.
VERIFICATION AND BEING FOUND
Your shop is listed publicly from the moment you create it, and verifying it earns a badge shoppers can see. Verification has deadlines: submit your ID within 30 days and your business papers within six months, or the shop stops appearing in search and on the map until you do. Every seller feature keeps working either way.
PRIVACY
No advertising SDKs. No third-party analytics. No selling your data. Card details are never entered in PinStro. Read the full policy at www.pinstro.com/privacy
