Yes. While we don't currently offer a free trial, our sales team is happy to walk you through our systems via a guided demo. We'll show you exactly how the technology works and what it would look like for your business, and we'll be happy to answer all your questions to ensure you make a fully informed decision when purchasing your POS system.

Consider whether all the features you need are included in your starting price or whether they need add-ons that could cost you extra. You'll want to confirm that the upfront cost is within your budget while your recurring monthly expenses are also affordable. This should factor in payment processing, which can have extra fees (Epos Now Payments offers a transparent payment processing experience from the very start).
