Our award-winning POS system

When finding a POS system definition, we have to explain the broad range of hardware, software, and services this encompasses, as well as the range of retail and hospitality businesses using them.

A point of sale (POS) system is a combination of devices and programs used by a business to process sales, whether in-store, online, or through apps. Good POS systems can track stock, sales, and staff performance to help business owners make decisions through automated business reports. They're also adaptable, ready to meet the needs of specific industries. For instance, hospitality businesses love to expand their POS systems to make taking delivery orders easier!

But POS systems can also look very different. For some businesses, like food trucks, they might be pocket-sized devices. For others, they may take the form of ten, twenty, or more fixed sales terminals equipped with scanners, printers, card machines, and barcode printers.

Many POS systems integrate your payment processor for quicker speeds. These often include mobile payments, like Epos Now's Pro+, which are important in many industries. Epos Now users can use card machines from Epos Now Payments or third-party providers such as EVO or International Bancard.

Epos Now Payments users benefit from straightforward payment processing fees, and you'll be able to accept popular payment methods, including Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, and more.

If your business requires ecommerce, online orders, or delivery, you'll also be able to accept payment through apps or online, with all sales data incorporated into your payment and sales reports for simpler business management.

Epos Now partners with a variety of companies to bring you the best possible POS system experience.
