Inky the octopusGet-Inky
The register for antique malls & consignment shops

Run your whole mall from one desktop app.

An offline-first point-of-sale — it rings sales, credits every booth, and settles payouts even when the internet doesn't.

A one-time license, no subscription — pricing lives in the shop. Already own it? Your installers live in your account.

  • Works fully offline
  • Vendor settlement built in
  • No payment lock-in
  • Runs on older computers too

The register — scan-first, vendor-aware, and offline-ready out of the box.

What it does best

Core

A register that never goes dark

Every sale rings against a local database on your own PC. A dead-Wi-Fi basement mall still takes the sale, prints the receipt, and keeps the day's totals.

Core

Every booth, settled fairly

Sold items credit their booth automatically. Close a period into payout statements, mark vendors paid, and print each booth's statement — payouts floor at $0, so Inky never says a vendor “owes” you.

Pro

Customer display with scan-to-pay

A second screen for the customer's side: the running sale live, honest “you saved” lines, and QR codes for your own Venmo, Cash App, or PayPal with the total prefilled. Money never routes through Inky.

Pro

Markdowns that run themselves

Schedule a store-wide or per-booth sale and checkout applies it. Add age tiers — “after 60 days, 25% off,” consignment-only if you want — and stale stock keeps moving without re-tagging.

Pro

A dashboard that tells the truth

Sell-through, dead-stock aging with the dollars tied up on the shelf, a vendor leaderboard with days-to-sell, and a heatmap of your busy times.

Cloud+

Your store, everywhere

Registers sync in real time, any computer you sign in on loads the store, and vendors check their own booth from home — fewer “how did I do this week?” calls.

And the rest of the box

Two honest promises

Works fully offline

Everything runs on your PC. Inky only phones home for updates — and that never blocks the register.

Your money never touches Inky

Cash, card, check — you take payment your way, and even the scan-to-pay QR codes point at your own accounts. Inky records the sale; you get paid.
