Try Awayco Cart Free: Launch a Live Omnichannel Checkout Pilot in 48 Hours

Most "free trial" sign-ups end the same way: you create an account, land in an empty dashboard, and then spend three weeks figuring out what to do next. The trial expires before you've proven anything to anyone. Awayco Cart is built to avoid that trap. Our free trial isn't an open-ended sandbox — it's a scoped pilot with a single, concrete outcome: one live checkout channel connected across your POS and your website within 48 hours.

We deliberately made the promise narrow because narrow is what actually gets approved, deployed, and measured.

Why a scoped pilot beats an open trial

The retail technology graveyard is full of initiatives that died from over-scoping. The data backs this up: 89% of retailers fail to scale innovations organisationally, and only 13% believe their current technology will meet future customer expectations. The pattern is rarely a faulty model — it's projects that start too broad, stall in coordination, and lose funding before they ship. With 77% of retailers reporting frequent budget cuts, an open-ended trial with no defined win is exactly the kind of initiative that gets quietly cancelled.

A 48-hour pilot inverts that risk. Instead of asking your team to evaluate an entire platform, we ask you to prove one thing: that a customer's cart can hold a consistent state across your physical till and your web checkout. Once that works, the rest of the rollout becomes a scaling decision rather than a leap of faith.

What "one live channel in 48 hours" means

Here's the specific scope of the trial.

Day one: connection

We connect Awayco Cart to your existing POS and your website checkout. No replatforming, no headless rebuild — Awayco operates at the transaction and checkout layer, so we sit alongside what you already run rather than asking you to tear it out.

Day two: a working shared cart

By the end of day two, you have a working flow where a cart started in one channel can be retrieved, completed, or modified in the other. A customer can begin a purchase on the shop floor and finish it on their phone, or the reverse. That's the win. It's small enough to deliver in two days and significant enough to demonstrate the core capability competitors can't match.

Why the checkout layer is the right place to start

This is where Awayco differs from most of what you'll find when you search for an omnichannel trial. Many platforms define "omnichannel" as headless ecommerce, an analytics dashboard, or email automation stitched across channels. Those solve real problems — but none of them give the customer a single, shared cart at the moment of transaction.

Awayco starts at the checkout because that's where channel fragmentation actually costs you sales. Consider the in-store reality: 82% of shoppers avoid a purchase if they see a queue, and 68% abandon the queue before reaching the till. Seven in ten retailers say a waiting customer gives up and leaves within five minutes. A shared cart that lets an associate complete a transaction on a mobile device — or lets the customer finish on their own phone — directly attacks that abandonment. Sales increase by 25% to 50% when shoppers are helped by a knowledgeable associate, and a mobile-equipped associate with access to a unified cart is exactly that.

Who the trial is for

The pilot is designed for enterprise retailers running both physical and digital channels who suspect their checkout is leaking revenue at the seams between them. If you already have a POS and a transactional website, you have everything required to run the trial. You don't need a developer team on standby; you need someone who can grant access to your existing systems and someone who wants to see the result.

What happens after 48 hours

At the end of the pilot you'll have a live, working example to take to your stakeholders — not a slide deck of promises, but a demonstrable shared-cart transaction across two channels. From there, expanding to additional channels, stores, or regions is incremental. The hard conceptual work — proving the transaction layer can be unified — is already done.

That's the entire point of scoping the trial this tightly. We'd rather earn the rollout by shipping one undeniable result than ask you to gamble three weeks on a maybe.

Sign up for the Awayco Cart free trial and we'll scope your first channel connection on day one. Two days later, you'll have a live omnichannel checkout to show for it.
