Little Shopkeeper

Use an iPad as a pretend checkout with play money, barcodes and receipts.

Our take

Good for supervised shop-role play

A companion iPhone can act as a local scanner/terminal without an online account.

Keep in mind: These are pretend payments, not a real merchant terminal; printing and two-device play require compatible equipment and setup.

What you can do

  • Play-item basket and cash/card flows
  • Printable codes/cards and receipt history
  • Optional local iPhone companion

Good for

  • Children around three to nine playing with an adult

Consider alternatives for

  • Real payments or formal mathematics assessment

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 17.0.
  • These are pretend payments, not a real merchant terminal; printing and two-device play require compatible equipment and setup.

Privacy & permissions

Developer says data stays local with no accounts/collection; local Bluetooth/Wi-Fi and printing still expose selected shop/receipt information to paired devices.
