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.”

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.”

Jack V.

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.”

Jack V.

IT Support

Pros

“It allows us to manage in-person sales, inventory, customer information, and payments all from one integrated system, making it much easier to run our business across multiple platforms.”

Gary A.

Founder CEO

“Payment processing is fast and dependable, and the interface is intuitive enough for new staff to learn quickly. While some advanced features require higher-tier plans and hardware options are more limited than some competitors, Shopify POS offers excellent value, strong security, and a comprehensive feature set for businesses looking to streamline retail operations.”

Jamie P.

Underfloor Heating Advisor

“It has made managing in-person sales much easier by connecting our physical retail activities with our online store in one simple system.”

Gary A.

Founder CEO

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.”

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. ”

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.”

Hazel L.

Business owner

Cons

“One of the main drawbacks of Shopify POS is that some advanced features require additional subscriptions, hardware, or higher-tier plans, which can increase costs for smaller businesses. While the basic system works well, businesses looking for more complex reporting, staff management, or advanced retail features may need to invest further.”

Gary A.

Founder CEO

“Another area for improvement is that the hardware options and setup can become expensive, especially for businesses attending multiple events or markets that need additional equipment.”

Gary A.

Founder CEO

“Also, some features (like advanced reporting, staff management, or customization) are locked behind higher plans, which can be frustrating as you grow.”
