Pros

“I like that I can add employees or delete employees with ease. And each employee has their own security pin so there is no having to change the whole system.”
TD

Tabitha D.

Manager

“As a result, we were left to manage the situation independently and, in order to continue trading at a basic level, we were required to place our card readers into standalone mode.”

IT Support

“Overnight, it appeared that a significant number of customers, including our own business, were effectively required to use EposNow hardware in order to continue processing card payments.”

Pros

“The support failed to highlight some options like multiple versions on 1 product. If they focused on some basics like sorting fields, better reports you can print it would be a really good replacement for the Intuit Quickbooks POS..”

“Their program to enter work orders and remove product from inventory was amazing! ”

“I ran this system in my shop for a year, it was expensive ($100 more than the system I went back to).”

Cons

“We therefore can’t access our emails and place orders which are essential day to day business tasks that our previous hardware was capable with. Despite asking for a return for the hardware we’ve been advised by customer service they won’t accept it back.”
HL

Hazel L.

Business owner

“I closed my account in their till back office on the last day of the agreement, but they still charged me for the upcoming month. When I called their support to complain, they claimed I never sent them any notice to terminate my agreement, even though I had forwarded the email I sent to them over a month before and had also sent a letter via special delivery which they did confirm they had received. ”
GA

Godwin A.

Director

“The hardware that we are using and purchased from EposNow is starting to fail and despite paying support they advised they no longer support this hardware and sold us a replacement monitor.”
HL

Business owner

Cons

“They charged a ton of money to do no website design and then presented a trashy website builder that does not let you edit the style/design of your site.”
AM

Alexis M.

CEO

“at first, they are great but once they figure u are too far to turn back they seem to vanish trying to get answers call one day it might be two days later you get a call back no one seems to care how things are going i my self have a issue with my favorites list the acknowledge there is a problem yet to get it fixed 6 weeks latter”
