The POS that never holds your business hostage.
Switchtill is the Canadian point-of-sale built on a single promise: your business, your processor, your data — free to leave the day it stops working for you.
Trusted by independent Canadian restaurants & retailers from coast to coast
Your POS shouldn't come with a hostage clause.
The big players win you with a slick demo, then bury the cost in fine print. By the time you want out, leaving is engineered to hurt.
The multi-year cage
36-month contracts with auto-renewal. Try to leave early and the remaining months come due — often thousands, all at once.
The processor handcuff
You're forced onto their payment rails at their rate. Want a better deal from your bank? That's a "breach," and it has a penalty.
The mystery fee
Statement fees, PCI fees, "non-compliance" fees, hardware leases. The advertised rate is never the rate you actually pay.
Four promises. Put them in writing.
We built Switchtill around the freedoms the incumbents take away. Watch what happens when you stop being locked in.
Month-to-month, always
No multi-year contracts, no auto-renewal traps. Pay for the month you're in. Stay because it works — never because you're stuck.
0 contracts, 0 cancellation feesBring your own processor
Already have a great rate from your bank or Stripe? Keep it. Switchtill plugs into your processor — we never force our rails or penalize you for shopping around.
Processor-agnostic, zero markupEvery fee published
One page. Real numbers. The price you read is the price you pay — no statement fees, no PCI surcharge, no surprise line items at month's end.
100% transparent pricingFree data migration
Menus, products, customers, sales history — our team moves it all from your old system for you. Switching is on us, and it's done before your next shift.
$0 to switch, white-glove setupThe whole truth, side by side.
