why dakis

dakis for Camera Stores

Built for how independent retailers compete

dakis is a unified commerce platform for camera stores and photo labs. Your POS and your payments run on the same system as your storefront. A managed catalog puts the full inventory online, on a site built for camera retail, with the setup handled for you. Products appear where buyers are searching, used gear reaches customers well beyond the local market, and rebate offers stay current without manual work. Independent retailers have run on dakis for over two decades.

Frequently asked questions

  • Do I have to build the product catalog myself?

    No. dakis builds and maintains records for cameras, lenses, drones, studio gear, frames, and accessories, from manufacturer data. You activate what you carry and set your own pricing.

  • What if a product I sell is not in the catalog?

    You request it and dakis builds the record, then makes it available to every dakis retailer. New products are added every day, including major releases as they are announced.

  • Can I sell used gear and trade-ins online?

    Yes. A used item entered at the counter is listed on your storefront with its own images, price, and description, so one-of-a-kind stock reaches buyers well beyond your local market.

  • Do I need a new website to sell online?

    You can start on the site you have. Most stores move to a dakis managed website, where the storefront, the catalog, and the content are built as one and the site is structured to be found by buyers searching for what you stock.
