Questions people ask
Does Retail Daddy also work offline?
Yes. Raintech’s public barcode-billing page describes Retail Daddy as offline-first. Test the exact counter, sync and local-network behaviour in both products.
What should I check before moving to Cartix?
Bring a product export, your scanner and printer models, an example invoice and a list of required workflows. Ask the team to demonstrate import, returns, credit, offline billing and rewards. Keep the old software available for historical records; a demo request does not migrate your business.
