AXB:Shop Register, Sample Shop & Payments — Development Update

Release covers: Platform, Bench, Shop

An October development update: the AXB:Shop register, sample storefront, customer-aware product suggestions, and reporting have advanced in preview. Stripe integration has passed sandbox tests, and AXB Mobile has an early shared-register foundation. These are not announcements of a general release or live card processing.

Added

  • Reports & End of Day (Shop preview) — Shop owners and admins can review sales, payment methods, returns and voids, then reconcile a day's cash with a recorded opening count, closing count and variance. Final owner acceptance is still pending. Applies to: Shop
  • AXB Sample Shop v3 (Shop preview) — Optional sample data now includes 75 example retail products, 19 starter service templates, and 21 fictional sales with customer purchase histories. Shops can Keep selected catalog items or templates and remove the remaining sample data. Applies to: Shop
  • Customer Profile & purchase history (Shop preview) — A connected customer view brings together contact details, instruments, repairs, purchases and communications, with direct actions to start a sale or work order. Applies to: Platform, Shop
  • Integrated card payments (Stripe sandbox only) — AXB's shared payments foundation completed a test-mode flow covering connected-shop onboarding, simulated card-reader payment, payment confirmation, refund and reconciliation. Live processing and physical-reader rollout are still pending. Applies to: Platform, Shop
  • AXB Mobile foundation (in development) — A separate native companion app now has sign-in, shop selection and shared-register draft creation/read using AXB:OS APIs and records. Phone barcode scanning and Tap to Pay are planned for later stages. Applies to: Platform

Improved

  • Register workspace (Shop preview) — A more counter-friendly sale screen adds a compact cart, quantity editing, a product picker that can fold away, and a small draggable resize grip on desktop. Mobile keeps its simpler layout. Applies to: Shop
  • Customer-aware product selection (Shop preview) — The Register can prioritize a customer's past purchases and offer rule-based suggestions connected to their instruments or recent service, without claiming verified product compatibility. Applies to: Shop
  • Unified checkout and transaction controls (Shop preview) — Retail sales can combine products, custom items and eligible repair work orders in one transaction. Workflows now include item discounts, controlled returns and stock-restock decisions; basic repair checkout remains an AXB:Bench capability. Applies to: Bench, Shop

Fixed

  • Sample-customer draft sales (Shop preview) — A sample customer can now be attached to a new draft Register sale for demonstration while payment, card charging, completion and operational reporting safeguards continue to block sample activity. Applies to: Shop
