Frequently asked questions
If you'd like to know anything else about Epos Now that we haven't already covered, take a look at our frequently asked questions.
- What is the best EPOS system for a bookstore?
-
A book store POS system may need to adapt to each store's specific needs, but certain functions will be required by every bookstore and provided by the point of sale system. These key features include detailed sales reports, the ability to track inventory, and an ecommerce store for seamless multichannel selling.
In terms of retail hardware, bookstores need a sales terminal with integrated payment processing to accept various payment methods, a receipt printer, and a cash drawer.
- What EPOS integrations should a bookstore use?
-
Epos Now's AppStore offers businesses over a hundred ways to adapt their systems. A bookstore POS system can incorporate integrations into several key areas to help streamline operations. These include customer loyalty programs, online stores like Wordpress and Shopify, and accounting software like Sage and Xero which can give managers a complete overview of finances.
There are all sorts of other integrations that businesses of all kinds enjoy using to simplify trade and operations. Mailchimp is a popular integration for bookstores looking to communicate the latest news for book lovers while Bulk Import allows managers to stay on top of a diverse inventory through spreadsheets.
But even without integrations, Epos Now provides stores with a full package of point of sale software that helps customers pay at speed, and a book shop track sales, access new audiences and build customer profiles.
