Whether you handle 200 visitors a day or 20,000, ShapesPay's Museum POS hardware keeps the line moving and the experience smooth.

  • Online and on-site ticket sales from one system
  • Timed-entry capacity controls for special exhibits
  • Group rates, school groups, and season passes

Memberships

Sell, Renew, And Reward Members From One Place.

Memberships are the lifeblood of any museum — and they shouldn't take three desks to manage. Set up Individual, Family, Patron, and Corporate tiers, automatically apply member discounts at the gift shop and café, send renewal reminders by email, and let members tap their card or phone to enter. Every member interaction lives in one CRM, so you always know who they are and what they care about.

  • Multiple tiers — Individual, Family, Patron, Corporate
  • Auto-apply member discounts at every revenue centre
  • Renewal reminders and lapse-recovery campaigns built in
  • Member CRM — full visit history at a glance

Gift Shop, Café, Concessions — One System.

Your museum isn't just one register — it's a gift shop, a café, a concession stand, sometimes a restaurant. ShapesPay's Museum POS hardware unifies every revenue centre under a single inventory and reporting system. Track an exhibition catalogue at the gift shop and a coffee at the café from the same dashboard. Stock alerts, vendor reorders, and member discounts all flow through one platform.

  • Gift shop, café, concessions on one platform
  • Real-time stock counts across every revenue centre
  • Auto-apply member discounts wherever they shop
  • Sync with your e-commerce shop for online sales

Insights & Donations

Turn Visitors Into Data, And Data Into Action.

Customisable dashboards show every metric you need to make smart decisions — visitor counts by hour, peak attendance days, top-selling exhibition merchandise, member behaviour, and donation trends.

  • Real-time visitor counts and attendance reports
  • Top-seller and exhibition merchandise tracking
  • Built-in donation prompts at checkout (and online)
  • Member behaviour reports for renewal campaigns

Real Museums. Real Results.

Timed-entry tickets with mobile barcode scan ended our front-door queues. Visitors arrive, scan, walk straight in. Special exhibits no longer feel like an airport check-in.

Michael Anderson Operations Manager
One platform for memberships, gift shop, and café changed how we report. Member behaviour data turned our renewal campaigns from guesswork into a real strategy.

Sarah Collins Director of Finance
The on-site donation prompt at checkout was a quiet game-changer. Small ask, low friction — annual donations climbed every quarter without anyone making it awkward.

Frequently Asked

Museum POS Questions, Answered.

Everything museum operations managers, curators, and gift-shop leads ask before going live with ShapesPay.

Yes. Sell admission tickets online and at the front desk, manage timed-entry capacity for special exhibits, set group rates and school-group pricing, and let visitors enter with a mobile barcode scan or a printed ticket. Capacity caps prevent overbooking, and the system tracks live visitor counts.

Yes. Set up Individual, Family, Patron, and Corporate tiers (or any custom level you like). Members get auto-applied discounts at the gift shop and café, renewal reminders by email, and one CRM record that tracks every visit, purchase, and donation. No more separate desks for membership transactions.

Absolutely. Every revenue centre — admissions, gift shop, café, concessions, special events — runs on the same platform with one inventory and one set of customer records. Member discounts auto-apply across every register. Reports roll up across the whole operation or break down by location.

Yes. Add an optional donation prompt at the end of every transaction — at the till, the café, or your online ticketing page. Set suggested amounts (or let visitors enter their own), and every gift is tracked alongside the sale for clean year-end reporting and tax-receipt workflows.

You keep selling. Our hybrid cloud-and-local database keeps every transaction processing offline — admissions, gift shop, café — and syncs automatically when the connection returns. School-trip days and free-admission weekends never freeze the till.
