Take cards on the phone you already have
What you can run tomorrow
Checkout, appointments, and rewards — on the phone you already have, or an optional Stripe reader.
Tap to Pay on your phone
Your phone is the card reader. Take contactless payments right in the app, or add an optional Stripe reader.
Coupling POS runs your entire checkout
One system handles custom catalogs and workflows, online orders paid up front or at pickup, appointments, recurring subscriptions, and custom tipping with tip pooling.
Sell, ring up, and book
List your items and services, time orders, and let customers book their next appointment from the same system.
How It Works
Take cards on your phone
Tap to Pay turns the phone in your pocket into the card reader. The whole POS lives in the app. Want a counter or handheld reader? Add an optional Stripe reader.
Coupling POS runs your entire checkout
Mix cash, card, and rewards on one ticket. Keeping your current register? Square works beside Coupling; Clover is coming soon.
Book the next visit
Catalog, order timing, and full appointment booking live in the same shop system.
One app for the counter and the customer
Merchants run checkout and bookings from their phone. Customers keep rewards ready for the next visit. No extra gadget to buy.
Tap to Pay and mixed tender
Split a sale across cash, card, and rewards on your phone or a Stripe reader
Appointments included
Massage, chiropractic, and other shops book the next visit in the same app
Rewards customers can actually use
Issue store credit, vouchers, or gift cards from the same sale
Rewards that work at the shop next door
Coupling rewards are dollar credit, not points. Issue store credit, vouchers, or gift cards from any sale — and your regulars can spend them at partner shops down the street.
Dollars, not points
$1 in rewards is $1 off a purchase. No exchange rates, no expiring point balances, nothing for customers to decode.
You choose your partners
Accept another local shop's rewards only when the relationship makes sense — and cap how much you take in. Optional, not required.
New regulars from next door
Partner shops send their best customers your way, and you send yours to them. More of every dollar stays in the neighborhood.
Payments & hardware
Tap to Pay on your phone, or an optional Stripe reader.
Built on Stripe
Card payments, payouts, and refunds run through our Stripe integration, connected to your Coupling catalog, checkout, and rewards.
Tap to Pay, nothing extra
Take contactless cards on the iPhone or Android you already carry. No extra device needed to get started.
Or an optional Stripe reader
Add a countertop or handheld Stripe Terminal reader when you want one. It works through Coupling POS, so sales, tips, and rewards stay in one place.
Built for independent shops
Farm stands, massage, chiropractic, and the shops that sell from a phone.
Merchant app on your phone
Ring sales, take bookings, and issue rewards from the same mobile app your customers also use as a wallet.
Shop dashboard
See catalog, checkout, appointments, and rewards in one place — built for independents, not a back office.
Local shop network
When you are ready, accept another local shop's rewards with a cap you set. Optional, not required.

The platform is open. Local communities can grow on their own terms, and shops stay in control of who they connect with.
