Cash register solution

The main function of cash registers is to record sales data as you trade, including the amount owed by customers to your business, supplying a receipt for the customer, and keeping a log of all daily transactions.

Epos Now cash registers record all sales that are processed through or entered into the shop till. This includes online and in-person sales if you have synced your online store to your Epos Now till using one of our handy apps or integrations. It registers contactless payments, credit and debit card payments, and cash too!

By recording these sales, you can monitor your business's financial health, ensure you report the correct amount of money for tax purposes, and adjust your offerings to favour more popular goods and services.

Cash registers or cash tills are more commonly known as point of sale (POS) systems. This has changed over the years to reflect the evolving role of the cash register in modern businesses.

"Cash register" is now generally used to describe the ancient, clunky, non-digital POS systems that lack the sleek functionality of digital POS systems. This increased functionality is what sets the two types of systems apart.

Modern businesses definitely require modern POS systems if they want to make a serious attempt at success. Businesses without a cash register system must conduct trade entirely by hand. This is both impractical and time-consuming!

Imagine writing receipts by hand, keeping excess cash to handle emergencies and returns, and maintaining detailed records of every sale and transaction. This unsafe and slow business model simply wouldn't survive in a modern setting.

While some POS providers would claim that businesses can get by on a card machine and a mobile phone app, we believe a complete POS system offers the most value. Our team will happily help you find a POS setup that suits your needs.

Modern cash registers are surprisingly easy to use, even with many functions and capabilities. Epos Now cash registers and systems have been designed with the average business owner in mind, so they are simple to learn and quick to master. In fact, we think your staff can learn to use our cash registers in as little as 15 minutes!

During and beyond your setup process, our support team will offer expert advice and guidance to ensure that your cash register is set up for your specific requirements, from role profiles to stock and product categories. We can also advise on which integrations would be the most helpful to your business.

In addition to our support, we maintain how-to guides and videos in the Epos Now Support Centre and on our YouTube channel.

With all these resources, you'll be able to understand better how to use your cash register, customise it for your needs, and then get to selling!
