Sell your POS plans online to Manchester's food halls, bars and independents.

Q: Can a food hall operator pay for all its traders?

Yes, or traders can pay for their own seats. The operator account can carry every seat on one invoice, or each trader can hold their own payment method while the operator keeps an overview. Mixed setups work too, such as the operator paying a base fee and traders paying for extra terminals. When a stall changes hands, the seat moves to the new trader without affecting the rest of the hall. Operators can also see which traders have failed payments, so a problem with one stall is spotted before it affects service in the hall.

Q: How are usage charges calculated and shown?

From data your POS sends, shown before the invoice is issued. Your POS reports usage, such as transactions or online orders, to the billing platform during each period. The customer area shows the running total, and the invoice lists the fixed plan and the usage separately. If usage data arrives late or twice, the integration checks for duplicates so nobody is billed twice for the same orders. Customers can download a usage statement for any period, which helps venues that split costs between kitchen and bar.

Q: What UK rules affect how we display prices?

Show the full price, including any compulsory fees, up front. The drip pricing rules in the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 are aimed at consumer sales, and most of your buyers are businesses, but showing compulsory setup or activation fees alongside the plan price is good practice either way and avoids complaints. Its subscription contract rules are expected in 2027 and again focus on consumers. Your legal adviser should confirm how both apply to your customer base. VAT is shown on every price, and invoices carry your VAT number and the customer's where they have one.

Q: How do you handle privacy and consent?

UK GDPR and PECR shape the site from the start. Only the data billing needs is collected, card details stay with the payment provider and access is controlled by role. Non-essential cookies wait for consent. Marketing emails follow PECR, which treats sole traders differently from limited companies, so the form records which applies. The ICO, based nearby in Wilmslow, publishes guidance we follow, and your privacy notice is written to match what the system actually stores.

Q: What happens when a venue is sold?

The new owner takes over the setup with their own billing. The outgoing owner's subscription is closed with a final invoice, and the new owner signs up against the same venue with their own company details and payment method. Your POS keeps the menus, terminals and settings in place. The account history shows both owners and the transfer date, which helps if anyone later questions an invoice. If the business is sold mid period, unused credit and final usage are settled on the closing invoice according to your terms.

Q: Is the site accessible?

We build and test to WCAG 2.2 AA. Forms have proper labels and error messages, everything works by keyboard, colour contrast is checked and pricing tables read correctly with screen readers. This supports your duties under the Equality Act and helps the many owners who sign up on a phone between services, often in a second language. We also check that plan pages remain usable at high zoom and that error messages are announced, not just shown in red.

Q: Do you only build for Manchester vendors?

No, but we tailor the site to where your customers are. The platform sells nationally from the start. For a Manchester vendor, we usually focus the first plan pages and examples on the venue types you serve locally, such as food halls, Northern Quarter bars and independent retail, then add other regions and trades as your customer list grows. Regional plan pages are only added when you have something specific to say about that market, so the site does not fill up with thin copies.

We build POS subscription website development Manchester software firms need when they want merchants to buy, pay and manage their till plans online. A cafe owner in Ancoats picks a plan and pays in minutes. A food hall operator in the Northern Quarter sets up one account with a seat for every trader. A bar group across Greater Manchester gets usage charges, monthly fees and hardware on the same VAT invoice. Your POS switches on exactly what each customer has paid for.

The till app, kitchen screens and offline mode remain your product. Codeeo builds the commerce side around them: the plan pages, sign-up and checkout, recurring and usage billing, invoices, the customer account area and the connection back into your POS.

Platform features

Built for the way Manchester venues buy and pay.

Manchester's hospitality trade has a particular shape. Food halls and market halls put many independent traders under one roof and one operator. Northern Quarter and Ancoats venues open, rebrand and change hands often. Bars around Deansgate and Spinningfields trade very differently on a Saturday from a Tuesday. A POS vendor selling here needs billing that copes with all of that without manual adjustments. Student staff turnover and late opening hours add their own demands on how quickly a venue needs its tills working after sign-up.

A POS subscription platform development Manchester project therefore tends to go beyond flat monthly plans. Usage charges, operator accounts with trader seats, quick transfers when a venue changes owner, and clear invoices that a small trader can read on a phone all come up early in discovery. These are the features we build most often for vendors here, ordered roughly by how often they matter.

Explain your project

Operator accounts with trader seats
A food hall or market operator holds the main account and adds each trader as a seat. You decide who pays: the operator for everyone, each trader for their own seat, or a split. Traders see only their own billing, while the operator sees the whole hall. Operators can also set a standard trader package so every new stall starts with the same terminals and features.
One contract can cover a whole hall of independent traders.
Flat fees plus usage
Monthly plan fees combined with metered charges, such as per-transaction or per-order fees from online ordering, read from your POS and added to the invoice at the end of each period. Customers can see their usage building up in the account area before the bill arrives.
Usage billing without surprise invoices.
Clear plan comparison
Plan pages that set out what each tier includes, per-terminal and per-site prices, add-ons and any compulsory fees in one view, with prices shown before and after VAT. Every figure is read from the billing system, so nothing goes out of date.
Buyers compare plans without needing a sales call.
Checkout and card storage
Business details captured with a Companies House lookup where it applies, then a card payment that completes any Strong Customer Authentication step the bank requires. The card is stored for future renewals and usage charges, and Direct Debit is available as an alternative. Merchants who sign up on behalf of a group can invite a finance colleague to complete payment instead.
Sign-up and first payment done in one sitting.
Change of ownership
When a venue is sold, the outgoing owner closes their billing and the new owner takes over the same POS setup with their own company, payment method and invoices. Sales history in the till stays where it is, and the handover is recorded with dates.
A sale of the business does not mean reinstalling the tills.
Annual and monthly terms
Monthly plans for new venues that want flexibility and annual terms for established ones, with switching rules, prorated credits and renewal reminders handled by the platform rather than by your accounts team. Annual customers get a reminder before renewal with the coming price, so the charge is never a surprise.
Customers choose the commitment that suits them.
Short-term event plans
Traders who only need tills for a festival, a match-day pitch or the city's Christmas markets can buy a plan with a fixed end date. Hardware hire, a deposit if you take one, and the return of kit at the end are all handled in the same order, and the plan stops billing on its own when the event finishes.
Event traders pay for the weeks they trade and nothing after.
Failed payment handling
Smart retries, reminder emails, an account banner and a grace period you control. Usage charges and plan fees are retried together so the customer deals with one problem, and tills keep trading during the grace period.
More renewals recovered with less chasing.
Self-serve customer area
Customers add terminals and sites, change plans, update payment details, download invoices and credit notes, and give notice to cancel within your terms. Separate roles cover owners, managers and bookkeepers.
Billing admin moves off your support queue.
POS and accounting links
Webhooks switch licences and features in your POS as plans change, usage data flows back for billing, and invoices post to Xero, QuickBooks or Sage. These POS billing integration services Manchester vendors ask for are tested against your staging systems before launch.
Billing, product and accounts stay in step.

Who this is for

Four Manchester POS businesses we work with.

The city has a strong cluster of software companies, from Manchester Science Park to MediaCityUK in Salford, and a busy reseller trade serving the ten boroughs of Greater Manchester. A POS SaaS website development Manchester brief can come from either side. We look first at who your customers are and how they like to pay, because that decides more of the build than the look of the site does. Below are the four situations we meet most often in the city, and how the first release differs for each.

A vendor selling into food halls and markets

Your POS runs whole halls of traders under one operator. You need operator accounts, trader seats, flexible rules on who pays, and a way to add or remove traders as stalls change hands. We build that account model first and fit the single-venue checkout around it. Hall-wide reports show the operator which traders are on which plan and when each renews.

The account model is agreed before any screen is designed.

A start-up launching its first public pricing

You have sold to early customers by hand and want a public price list and self-serve checkout. We help shape the plan structure into something a billing platform can run, then build the pricing pages, checkout and account area so new venues can start without a demo. Launch prices or introductory terms, if you choose to run them, are set up with clear end dates so they never become a permanent discount by accident.

Free trials can be added if you decide to offer one.

A vendor charging for usage

Part of your revenue comes from transaction or order fees. We connect usage data from your POS to the billing platform, show customers their running total and put both fixed and usage charges on one invoice, with clear lines a bookkeeper can reconcile.

Usage data is reconciled before each invoice is issued.

A reseller covering Greater Manchester

You resell and support a POS brand across the region and bill customers yourself. We give you a branded site and account area on top of a billing platform, move existing customers across without disturbing their tills, and connect invoices to your accounts software. Your brand leads on every page, with the POS maker credited where your agreement requires it.

Existing contract dates are kept on migration.

Six steps to a working POS billing site.

01Discovery by video callPlans, usage charges, account structures, payment methods and POS activation mapped with your product and finance leads, including how food hall and group accounts should behave.
02Pricing model checkWe test your price list against the billing platform's rules before design, so every plan, add-on and usage charge can actually be billed the way you sell it.
03Design and copyPlan pages, checkout and account screens designed for phones first, with plain English copy a busy trader can follow, reviewed with you on screen share.
04Build in stagesSite, billing integration, usage feed and POS webhooks built in short cycles, each released to staging for you and a few friendly customers to try.
05Test every billing pathSign-ups, upgrades, usage invoices, failed payments, ownership changes and cancellations run with test cards and sandbox mandates before any customer sees them. Manchester venue owners you introduce can try the staging site too.
06Launch and watchWe launch, monitor the first billing cycles, fix friction quickly and agree the next set of improvements with you based on real customer behaviour.

How we work together

Three ways to work with Codeeo.

We do not have a Manchester office. Our team of 80+ works from Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi and runs discovery, reviews and demos with Manchester clients by video call, with shared boards and written updates between meetings. Most vendors begin with a fixed scope build and then keep us on a retainer for new plans, usage rules and integrations. Retainer work usually covers new plan tiers, pricing reviews, extra payment methods and changes to your POS API. Vendors with a long product roadmap sometimes prefer a dedicated team. We have delivered 200+ projects across the UAE and the US.

Fixed scope

A defined build with a deadline

We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.

Written scope and acceptance criteria

Questions Manchester POS vendors ask before starting.

How much does POS subscription website development in Manchester depend on our pricing model?

A great deal; pricing rules drive most of the work.

Flat monthly plans with card payment are the simplest case. Usage charges, operator accounts with trader seats, annual terms with prorated credits, Direct Debit and migration of existing customers each add design, build and testing. We cost the project after discovery and show you which rules add the most, so you can decide whether each one belongs in the first release. Integrations with your accounts software and the depth of your POS API also affect the estimate.
