Setting up accounting integrations on your Epos Now POS system
Finances and accounts can be one of the bigger challenges when managing a business. Fortunately, Epos Now has partnered with some of the most popular business accounting software, and with our integrations, you can automatically send your business data where it needs to go following each end of day, saving you hours of tedious work.
Your integration wizard will ask you where you want each piece of data, including sales, tips, and taxes, but also offers you the chance to create a unique mapping if your business has a more complicated setup.
Don’t worry, though, the app gives you the chance to reach out to POS accounting experts who can help you create the perfect accounting solution that makes managing your finances as easy as possible!

How to edit existing products on your Epos Now POS system
Whether you’re updating a price, setting up colour-coding, or changing the supplier, updating your product list doesn’t have to disrupt your day.
Once again, your Epos Now Back Office is the place to go:
- Go to Manage>Products>Product List
- Enable the relevant columns by ticking either “price”, “supplier”, and “till” details
- Search for the product you want to update either through the list or the search bar
- Select “edit”, make your amendment, then scroll back left and hit “update” to save your changes
Different types of promotions for your products and categories
So maybe you’ve got a hot new summer promotion to set up for your business, but is it an X for Y, an X for £, or any of the five other promotion types Epos Now can run?
Getting your promotion set up can be a little tricky. You need to ensure:
- The correct deductions are made (whether it’s a flat saving or a % discount)
- And you need to attach the right products and categories to the promotion so they come into play when your team add them to a customer’s basket
But don’t be put off, once you have the knack, the right promotions can make your season shine bright!
