Customer testimonial: SnapCount has been a simple and effective solution for tracking daily customer traffic across our retail stores. The team has been responsive to feedback, and we're excited about upcoming features too.
A clothing chain counts traffic and stock-outs in each of its stores on SnapCount every day.
How to count customers in every store by hand and send head office the daily numbers
Give each store its own group of counters and have staff tap on their phones as shoppers come in. Head office sees every store's count live, the Totals tab adds the stores together as they count, and each day's numbers export per store, so nobody adds up sheets at closing. There are no cameras or door sensors to buy.
- 01Make one counter group per store, with a Traffic counter and a Stock-outs counter in each, named the same in every store.
- 02Staff in each store open their store's group on their own phone by QR code or invite.
- 03They tap Traffic as each shopper comes in, and Stock-outs when a shelf or size runs out.
- 04The Totals tab adds every store's traffic and stock-outs into live chain totals, with each store's own count beside them.
- 05On Pro and Enterprise, export each store's daily totals as CSV or JSON for head office, or have them emailed on a schedule.
End-of-day sheets hide which store lost shoppers
Without SnapCount
- Each store's footfall arrives as an end-of-day sheet, if it arrives at all
- Nobody can tell whether a store lost shoppers or lost sales on the floor
- Stock-outs go unrecorded, so nobody knows which store ran out, or how often
- Door counters cost $300 to $1,150 per door, and many add a monthly fee per device
With SnapCount
- A group for every store, with a traffic counter and a stock-out counter in each
- Staff tap on phones they already have, with nothing installed on the door
- Each store sees its own count live, and head office sees every store side by side
- The Totals tab adds traffic and stock-outs up across every store as staff count
- On Pro, each day's numbers export per store as CSV or JSON, ready to compare with sales
- One flat price for the whole chain, not a bill per seat or per door
What you get
What every store gets
A group per store
Name a group for each store and give it a Traffic counter and a Stock-outs counter. Use the same names in every store so the totals add up across the chain.
Totals across every store
When stores share counter names, the Totals tab adds traffic and stock-outs up across all of them as staff count. Open one to see how much each store added.
A live view for each store
Pro and EnterpriseOpen a watch-only live view of a store's counters, or of the chain totals, on a phone or a screen. A watch-only link needs no seat.
Each day saved per store
Pro and EnterpriseExport daily totals per store by date range as CSV or JSON, or have a report emailed to head office on a schedule.
How it works

SnapCount counts by manual taps only: no barcode scanning, sensors, cameras, or automated people counting. It records what your staff tap and does not draw conclusions about sales. Last updated: October 5, 2026
Frequently asked questions
Can I count footfall per store without sensors?
Yes. Staff in each store tap a counter on their phones as shoppers come in, and each store's count is live for everyone. It is manual counting: no sensor, camera, or Wi-Fi tracking.
Can I track stock-outs too?
Yes. Add a Stock-outs counter next to Traffic in each store, and staff tap it each time a shelf or size runs out. The Totals tab adds stock-outs up across the chain.
Can head office see every store at once?
Yes. With the same counter names in every store's group, the Totals tab adds them up across stores, and each store's numbers sit side by side. On Pro and Enterprise, a watch-only live view can run on a screen at head office.
How does this compare with a door sensor?
A sensor counts what its maker built it to count. Your staff count what you decide, traffic and stock-outs in every store, and if you need to count a new way, it's built in within days. The trade-off: a sensor needs no staff time, and SnapCount needs staff to tap. It runs on phones you already have, for one flat monthly price for the chain. Choose a sensor if nobody can count by hand.
Is there a cheaper alternative to door sensors for a chain of about 8 stores?
If staff can count by hand, yes. Staff count on phones they already have, so there is nothing to buy or install for each door in each store. The cost is one flat monthly price for the whole chain: Enterprise is $39 a month ($349 a year) with unlimited teammates, and Pro is $15 a month for up to 10 teammates. Sensors are priced per door, so compare the vendor's quote for every door in all 8 stores with that. The trade-off is staff time, because someone has to tap.
Does SnapCount work as a footfall counter for a small chain of shops in the UK?
Yes. Footfall is the UK word for foot traffic, and SnapCount counts it per shop: a group for each shop, staff tap on their phones as shoppers come in, and the Totals tab adds every shop into a live chain total. It runs in any web browser and as an iPhone app, so staff with Android phones use the browser. On Pro and Enterprise, each shop's daily footfall exports as CSV or JSON.
Is the price per store or per person?
Neither. Plans are per organization: Pro covers 10 teammates and Enterprise has unlimited teammates, across as many stores as you run. See the pricing page for current prices.
Can I try it without an account?
Yes. A free guest session runs one live count on up to 10 devices for 1 hour, and up to 4 while you keep counting. Counting stops when it ends, and the organizer has 24 hours to save it into a free account. Move to a paid plan for daily counts per store, history, and exports.
