Hiboutik
Online till used by shops and restaurants, with a freemium offer.
A cash register cannot be rebuilt: in France, any business subject to VAT must use certified software or software attested as compliant (article 286 of the French tax code), whatever its volume, with tamper-proof sales, closings and archiving. Hiboutik is free for basic needs: the saving is small against the risk of a non-compliant till (up to €7,500 fine per system).
