Desktop app

A till that never lives in a browser tab

Atlas Pay has native builds for Mac and Windows. Install it on the machine that stays behind the counter, keep it open all day, and take payments from a proper window instead of one tab among twenty.

Free to download, and it uses the account you already have.

Where it earns its keep

Built for the machine that stays put

The phone is for moving around. The desktop app is for the spot you come back to: a fixed till, a back office, and the days when the queue does not stop.

A fixed till

The app opens in its own window and stays there. Nobody closes the wrong tab on the way to checking email, and the till is where it was when the next customer arrives.

The back office

Reconcile the day, read the month, and work through customers and subscriptions on a full-sized screen with a keyboard under your hands.

High-volume days

Market day, a sale, a festival stand. Key an amount, show the code, take the payment, clear the screen, and do it again without hunting for the right window.

A screen the customer can scan

Turn the monitor, or put a second one on the counter. The QR code is large enough to scan from a phone held at arm's length.

More than one pair of hands

Unlimited team members come with the Pro plan, so the counter machine and the office machine can both be signed in and both be working.

One payout account

Whatever the desktop app collects settles to the same linked bank account as everything you take on a phone or through your online store.

Installing

Mac and Windows, the same three steps

Pick the build for the machine you are standing at, install it the way that platform expects, and sign in with the Atlas Pay account you already use.

On a Mac

  1. Open the Download page and choose the Mac build.
  2. Open the file when it finishes, then move Atlas Pay into your Applications folder.
  3. Launch it, sign in, and keep it in the Dock so the counter can reach it in one click.

On Windows

  1. Open the Download page and choose the Windows build.
  2. Run the installer and let it finish.
  3. Launch it, sign in, and pin it to the taskbar so it is one click from anywhere.

Both builds are free to download. What you pay is the transaction fee on each payment, set by your plan. Go to downloads or see the plans.

Side by side

The counter and the floor, on one account

Being signed in on the desktop does not sign you out of your phone. The till machine handles the queue, somebody else takes a payment at a table, and both land in the same activity list, the same customer records, and the same payout.

  • Take it anywhere, see it everywhereA QR payment rung up on the desktop appears on the phone, and the other way round.
  • One catalogueProducts and prices you set up once are ready on the till, in the portal, and in your online store.
  • One end-of-dayClose up on whichever screen you like — the totals and the payouts are the same figures.

FAQ

Desktop app questions

There are native builds for Mac and for Windows. Both are on the Download page, alongside the iOS and Android apps, and both sign in to the same Atlas Pay account.

Yes. Signing in on a desktop does not sign you out anywhere else. Payments taken on either one appear in the same activity list and settle to the same linked bank account.

Not necessarily — it is a preference. The portal is handy on a borrowed or locked-down machine where you cannot install software. The desktop app suits a computer you control and come back to every day.

No. It is free to download and there is no separate charge for it. You pay the transaction fee your plan sets: 4.9% + $0.40 on Free and Brand, or 4.2% + $0.40 on Pro.
