A second till only helps if both tills sell from the same products, the same prices and the same stock. With the PosMasr program on your PC, that means Gold, for shops (Retail Gold) or restaurants (F&B Gold), or Platinum, where one till is the primary and the second is linked to it over the shop's network. With PosMasr Online, every till you pair is part of the same shop from the first minute: Gold (Retail Gold or F&B Gold) includes 2 tills, Platinum (Retail Platinum or F&B Platinum) 4, and Chain (Retail Chain or F&B Chain) up to 30. Below is how each one works, what you need to buy, and the mistakes that make two tills disagree.
When a shop needs a second till
You need a second till when the queue, not the stock, is your problem: Thursday evenings, the first days of Ramadan, the hour after the schools close. Other signs are a café where the counter and the takeaway window serve different people, or a supermarket where one cashier also has to receive suppliers. If the queue is short most of the day, a faster first till (a scanner, a printer that cuts by itself, products with pictures on a touch screen) often solves it before a second one does.
Option 1: two tills with the program on your PC
The PC program is a one-time licence per shop, for its first till; the second till PC gets its own key at the extra-till price (1,000 EGP on Silver or 1,500 EGP on Gold and Platinum, for shops and restaurants alike). The link between two tills is part of Gold and Platinum, for shops (Retail Gold, Retail Platinum) and restaurants (F&B Gold, F&B Platinum). You can see it in the "second-till link" row of the package comparison.
Launch price until 31 December 2026: an extra till in the same shop is 750 EGP on Silver (list 1,000) and 1,125 EGP on Gold and Platinum (list 1,500); the licence itself, once per shop, from 1,838 EGP for a shop (list 2,450) or 3,675 EGP for a restaurant or café (list 4,900). The code ENDOFYEAR2026 takes 25% off the list price instead of the launch price, never both, on the whole first order.
How it works:
- One till is the primary and the other the secondary, both on the shop's network (a cable or the shop Wi-Fi).
- The secondary takes the products, stock and customers from the primary and sends it every receipt it makes.
- If the network drops, the secondary keeps selling and its receipts wait in a queue, then go through when the network is back.
- No internet is needed at any point. The link is inside the shop.
To set it up, install the program on the second PC, activate its licence and choose it as the secondary in the settings. The manual walks through the second till as its own procedure, separate from moving to a new PC. To add it, message us on WhatsApp with your first licence key; the pricing page shows the package and extra-till prices.
Option 2: two tills with PosMasr Online
With PosMasr Online the shop lives online, so every till sees the same products, prices and stock without a primary or a secondary. You pair a new till in about a minute with a 6-digit code, on a Windows computer or an Android tablet with the PosMasr Till app. Each till keeps selling and printing when the line drops and syncs its receipts when it is back.
How many tills each plan includes:
| Plan | Tills | Users |
|---|---|---|
| Silver: Retail Silver (125 EGP a month), F&B Silver (249 EGP a month) | 1 | 3 |
| Gold: Retail Gold (249 EGP a month), F&B Gold (499 EGP a month) | 2 | 6 |
| Platinum: Retail Platinum (375 EGP a month), F&B Platinum (749 EGP a month) | 4 | 15 |
| Chain: Retail Chain (625 EGP a month), F&B Chain (1,249 EGP a month) | Up to 30 | Up to 30 |
So a shop on Retail Silver that wants a second till moves to Retail Gold (124 EGP a month more: 249 − 125), and a restaurant on F&B Gold that needs a third and a fourth till moves to F&B Platinum (250 EGP a month more: 749 − 499).
A checklist before the second till goes live
- One product list. Add or change products in one place only: the primary till on the PC, or the online back office. Never keep a separate list on the second till.
- A cashier account per person. Each cashier signs in with their own account and rights, so every receipt shows who made it. See cash control.
- One drawer per till, one shift per drawer. Open each shift with its own float and close it with its own count. Two people on one drawer cannot be checked.
- A printer and a drawer for each till. Any 58 or 80 mm thermal printer with a Windows driver works; the drawer usually plugs into the printer. See supported hardware.
- A test sale on both tills. Sell one item on the second till and check it on the first (or online) before the rush starts.
Which one should you choose?
If you have one shop, two tills and you want it to run with no internet ever, the PC program on Retail Gold fits: 4,250 EGP for the licence and 1,500 EGP for the second till, 5,750 EGP once in all (for a restaurant on F&B Gold: 8,500 + 1,500 = 10,000 EGP). If you are not always in the shop, want to add tills in a minute, or may open a branch, PosMasr Online fits better. PC program or online: which one fits your shop goes through the four questions that decide it, and your data can move between the two either way.
When this is not for you
If your problem is one slow cashier, train and equip the first till before you buy a second. If you need card payments to go straight from the till to the bank's machine, know that "direct integration with a bank terminal depends on the bank and the machine model and isn't part of the program"; the Card button records the payment. And the PC program runs on Windows only: a Mac or Linux till can only be an online till, whose app is marked Preview.
Questions and answers
Does the second till need its own licence on the PC?
Yes, its own key, at the extra-till price: 1,000 EGP on Silver or 1,500 EGP on Gold and Platinum, for shops and restaurants alike. The link between a primary and a secondary till is in Gold and Platinum, for shops and restaurants.
Do I need the internet to link two tills?
No. On the PC the two tills talk over the shop's own network. If the network drops, the second till keeps selling and sends its receipts when it is back.
How many tills can I have on PosMasr Online?
Silver includes 1 till, Gold 2, Platinum 4 and Chain up to 30, the same for shops (Retail Silver to Retail Chain) and restaurants (F&B Silver to F&B Chain). You pair each new till with a 6-digit code.
Can I try two tills before I pay?
Yes. The PC trial is 14 days of Platinum for your line (Retail Platinum or F&B Platinum) with no card and no sign-up, and the online trial is the same 14 days of Platinum.
