StoreTempo
Options

Choose how you run StoreTempo.

Start on our demo, launch a chain on one VPS, or isolate stores later — Concierge, Stripe holds, and POS sync turn on when ready.

Options

Paths that match how you buy and host

Nothing forces a rip-and-replace. Start narrow; turn modules on when the store is ready.

1

Platform demo on storetempo.com

Walk Acme Markets on our host. Prove map, list, and Concierge before you commit a store.

Free to explore
2

Chain Starter (one VPS, multi-store)

One server, shared system, store subdomains. Each door keeps branding; HQ gets one place to run the chain.

Default launch path
3

Store Isolation (upsell)

Optional separate account/database per store when a location needs harder separation.

Add when needed
4

Guided Shopping / Personal Concierge

Guided Shopping: customer walks with a Personal Shopping Guide. Personal Concierge: associate shops after pay. Same map under both.

Modes, not two products
5

Stripe auth-hold (pay-first)

Authorize at checkout → pick queue → capture when ready. Protects payroll from no-shows and bad cards.

Required for live Concierge
6

Optional POS sync / morning CSV pilot

Pilot with a morning catalog/availability CSV. Live POS API later. Settled sale can push to their POS for true decrement.

Don’t block the pilot

Pay-at-store is lab/training only — live Concierge uses real card auth-hold.

Questions we hear often

Short, friendly answers — we are glad you asked.

Will this replace our POS?

Not at all — and that is by design. Your register stays the system of record for ringing and stock. StoreTempo handles browse, lists, maps, pay, and pick, then can send a settled sale to your POS after capture so inventory stays in sync. You keep what already works.

We already have a website.

Wonderful — keep it. Many stores simply add a Shop or Pickup button that opens their branded StoreTempo storefront (your logo, colors, hours, and flyer). Shoppers still feel like they are shopping with you.

What if the app shows wrong stock?

Great question for a calm pilot. We start with a morning catalog or CSV so the shelf picture matches opening on-hand. When a sale settles, it can update your POS. During pick, your Concierge can mark items unavailable and offer a substitute — so shoppers stay informed and your team stays in control.

When does picking start?

Only after the shopper’s card hold succeeds — so your team spends time on real, paid orders. When the bag is ready, you capture the payment. That protects payroll and keeps the experience fair for everyone.
