AI built in

Tell it what you want. It writes the email and changes the site.

Describe an email, an event or a site change in plain English. Overlay's AI drafts it from your own products and brand. You review every draft, and nothing reaches your customers until you send it.

Emails in your voice
Draft a member email, a release announcement or an event invite. You edit the draft and press send; the AI never sends anything itself.
2–3 credits per draft
Event pages
Describe your tasting, pour or drop and get a drafted landing page: headline, details, call to action, and a search title and description. Ticket sales with tiers and capacity limits are in early access, turned on shop by shop.
7 credits per page
Site changes in plain English
Type "change the hero headline to Harvest Release and make the main color a deeper green" and the site editor applies it, with one-click Undo. This is in beta and is turned on per shop on request.

Club plans
Describe the club you have in mind and get a drafted plan to start from.

You stay in control

The AI can draft emails, club plans and event pages, and edit your site design. It cannot change your products, customers, prices or settings, and it never sends anything on its own. You copy or approve everything it writes.

Grow

Email that brings people back. A site that gets found.

Email marketing and search optimization are part of the plan, not separate subscriptions.

Email marketing, built in
Build campaigns from blocks and templates, or let the AI draft one. Send to segments such as top spenders, lapsed customers and new customers. Once your sending domain is set up, sends go out from it, with unsubscribe handling and a suppression list.
Automations
Welcome and win-back email automations you can switch on (Growth and Pro).
Search-ready storefront
Your online store comes with an automatic sitemap, product pages with structured data, and social-preview tags, so products can show up properly in search and when shared.
AI that rewrites product copy for search, and checks itself
The SEO rotator (Pro) drafts search-friendly product titles and descriptions for you to review and copy into your store. It rejects drafts that add qualifiers your catalog does not carry, such as "small producer" or "since 1952".

One fee

Several tools you may pay for one by one, in one plan.

Many shops pay separately for email, loyalty, club billing, reports and automations. Overlay includes them in one flat fee. Add up your own current bills and compare; we don't publish a competitor price list because those change.

In your plan

What you get, by plan

  • Starter: catalog, orders, customers, email campaigns, storefront builder, sales and tax reports$49/mo
  • Growth: adds email automations, loyalty, clubs with member portal, bundles, inventory ops$149/mo
  • Pro: adds workflows, staff scheduling, inventory cache, advanced reports, SEO rotator, Slack alerts$299/mo

Two months free on any plan if you pay yearly. No per-contact fees and no per-order cut. We take no markup on card processing: you pay your processor's rate.

What Overlay Does

A shorter run day, and members who keep themselves.

Overlay is the jobs an independent shop already runs manually — the subscription charge, the pickup list, the member's card update, the branded packing slip. Done for you on top of Square or Shopify, whether you're running a monthly wine club, a weekly coffee drop, or a Friday floral delivery.

The seven jobs

Club run console

Your run day, shorter.

One screen for the recurring run — your monthly wine club, your weekly coffee subscription, your biweekly bouquet drop: exception queue (declines, holds, address issues) at the top, one-click charge for the clean roster, packing-slip batch at the bottom. Runs against Square Invoices so the money stays where it already deposits.

Portal money tools

Members handle their own card, skip, and pause.

Every member gets a magic-link portal to update their card on file, skip a month, pause, and see store credit. No more "please email us to cancel" — the self-serve loop is built in from day one.

In-store attach

Clerk lookup → magic link → account.

At the register, the clerk types a name or phone, hits send, and the customer gets a magic link to claim an account. Their purchase history follows. No printed sign-up sheet, no "we lost your email."

Gift membership + store credit

Give a club. Give credit. No spreadsheets.

Buy a 3-, 6-, or 12-month club as a gift; the recipient claims it with a code, and the shop tracks the gift-vs.-paid line separately. Store credit balances live on the same member record.

Ship / pickup compliance at cart

Alcohol-safe checkout.

Ship-to-state rules, age-check flags, dry-county blocks, and pickup vs. delivery all resolved in the cart — not at the truck. Fewer refused deliveries, fewer state-line surprises.

Back-in-stock waitlist

Capture demand on sold-out items without overselling.

Customers join a waitlist for a sold-out item. When it comes back in stock, Overlay notifies them — gated on real POS inventory so you won't oversell. FIFO release, per-member allocation caps, and scheduled drops are in development.

Packing wave + weight check

The pack floor, in order.

Batched packing slips with a barcode per order, a checkbox per item (bottle, bag, bouquet), expected weight for the scale, and an ID-check banner where alcohol law requires it. The wave prints in pack order so the floor doesn't shuffle — same shape whether you're packing a monthly wine club, a weekly coffee drop, or a biweekly bouquet.

Also included

Marketing composer

Every POS customer is a subscriber from day one. Compose, segment, send. Opens, clicks, and attributed revenue roll back to the dashboard. AI marketing assistant included for first drafts.

Customer database + segments

One record per person, unified across POS and site. Top spenders, lapsed, club status. Exportable as CSV any time — always yours.

Pricing rules

Target margin, minimum dollar profit per bottle, and shelf-price format applied automatically. No more per-item spreadsheets.

Multi-user & audit log

Invite staff by email, scope their access, log every action. Revoke individuals without touching anyone else's login.

Storefront (optional)

Block-based site builder for shops that want to replace their storefront. Pulls product cards live from Square or Shopify. Keep your existing site if you prefer — Overlay runs happily as a headless layer.

Analytics + LTV cohorts

Revenue by category, top spenders, lapsed cohorts, aging inventory. The dashboards you'd otherwise pay for separately.

How it works

Set up with you.

Overlay slots into the POS you already run, so you don't have to re-train your staff.

Connect Square or Shopify

OAuth into your existing POS. One click, no dev time. If you keep your POS, your existing processor keeps taking the money and Overlay never touches deposits.

Your catalog + your members show up

Overlay pulls every product, variant, and customer automatically. Categories, images, prices, stock levels — in sync with Square or Shopify from minute one. Your existing club members import too.

Your first club cycle, together

Setup is hands-on. We stand up your run console — whether your subscription is a monthly wine club, a weekly bag of beans, or a Friday floral drop — walk the exception queue with you, print the first packing wave, and hand you a shorter run day. Then you own it.

Connects to the tools you already run

Live today: Square, Shopify and WooCommerce. Clover, Toast, Lightspeed, Zettle and BigCommerce are in development and not available yet.

When you're ready

Start on top of your POS. Switch completely when you choose.

Most shops begin by keeping their register and adding Overlay on top. If you later want to run the whole shop on Overlay, a checklist shows what is left first, and nothing changes until you confirm.

  • Take card payments in person with a Stripe card reader, in your own Stripe accountEarly access
  • Switch-over checklist: payments, reader, register, catalog, stock and customers copied overEarly access

Answers

Questions merchants actually ask.

Overlay is live today on Square, Shopify, and WooCommerce. Adapters for Clover, Toast, Lightspeed, Zettle, BigCommerce, and Stripe are in active development — if you're on one of those and want a dated ETA, email adam@offpremisechicago.com. Anything sold on your POS shows up in Overlay, and if you keep your POS, Overlay never handles the money: your existing processor keeps depositing to your bank. If you use Overlay's early-access register, card payments go through Stripe into your own Stripe account.

Yes — automatically. Every customer who's ever bought from you shows up in Overlay's database from day one. No CSV upload needed. Historical orders, spend, and category preferences come with them.

Marketing consent follows your POS's consent record — we won't email anyone who hasn't opted in.

Two paths. Keep your Shopify theme and use Overlay as the management + marketing layer — clubs, waitlist, email, analytics, all working against the same catalog while your storefront stays untouched.

Or replace it with Overlay's block-based site builder — SEO-friendly server rendering, faster load times, and a design that populates live from your POS.

Overlay is built for the shape of a small independent retailer — a few hundred to a few thousand engaged customers, one owner wearing every hat, a recurring run day (your monthly wine club, your weekly bag-of-beans drop, your Friday floral delivery). That's a market the app-store model isn't priced for.

Everything is included in the flat fee. No per-contact pricing, no per-order cut, no per-seat upsell. If you'd otherwise be paying $500+/mo for the same stack, the math is easy.

Keep it. Overlay runs happily as a headless layer — you get every operations tool (marketing, clubs, waitlist, AI, analytics, customer database) without touching your storefront. Your domain stays yours, your theme stays yours, your checkout stays yours.

You keep everything. Customers, orders, and reviews stay in your POS where they already are — Overlay doesn't hold your data hostage. Any Overlay-native data (segments, email history, club rosters, review responses) is exportable as CSV at any point, including after cancellation.

Month-to-month means month-to-month. No termination fee, no minimum commit.

You do. Every table, every row, every export. Overlay is a processor of your customer data, not a co-owner of it. We never share it with other tenants and never sell it.

Each shop's data is stored separately, and automated tests cover that separation across many modules.

Yes. Overlay honors data-access and deletion requests, records marketing consent per contact, and provides a signed data-processing addendum for merchants who need one for their own compliance. Your customer database exports are portable at any point.

A shorter run day, and members who keep themselves.

Pick a plan, set up your tenant, run your first club cycle. We set it up with you.
