What Tactill does

Tactill (legally TacTill SAS) is a French point-of-sale software provider founded in 2011 and headquartered in Gometz-le-Châtel, France. The company sells an iPad- and iPhone-native POS application combined with cloud synchronization, an offline operation mode, a web-based back-office dashboard (Tableau de Bord), and — since 2023 — Tactill Pay, a Bluetooth-paired mobile payment terminal built on Stripe infrastructure with PCI-DSS compliance. Tactill is self-certified under the French Loi Finances 2018 cash register law and is currently pursuing NF525 third-party certification via AFNOR or LNE in response to the February 2025 amendment eliminating self-certification; a certified version is targeted before February 28, 2026.

The platform targets French small and medium-sized merchants across verticals including small retail boutiques, restaurants and bars, bakeries and pâtisseries, market vendors and ambulant traders, and hair and beauty salons. Revenue is generated primarily through monthly SaaS subscriptions priced from €29/month for the entry tier and €59/month for higher tiers, with a 30-day free trial and a 15-day money-back guarantee; no commitments are required and prices have not increased since 2018. Hardware revenue is generated through Tactill Pay and complete hardware packages (printer, cash drawer, payment terminal) shipped by logistics partner DFPI from a facility in Igny, France.

Tactill runs a product-led go-to-market motion anchored by App Store self-serve onboarding, supplemented by SEO-optimized city-specific landing pages across eight French cities, a reseller/ambassador program with recurring commissions, and direct sales for larger deployments. Cloud infrastructure is hosted on AWS in Paris to satisfy data residency expectations. The company has not disclosed any external venture or private equity funding and reports headcount in the 1-10 range; named reference customers include Amazon, Festival de Cannes, Fermob, France Galop, Futuroscope, John Paul, and Sézane, alongside a long tail of SMB retailers and food-service merchants.
