Epos Now review
Bottom line
Epos Now is a cloud POS for small retail and hospitality businesses that want a till, card payments, inventory, and reporting in one system. Its clearest strength is the breadth of the bundle, which includes hardware, real-time reporting, and more than 130 app integrations. The main cost to watch is the $84 monthly charge on top of the $399 starting price, along with custom pricing for tailored setups. Businesses that want a single system for both selling and payments should consider it, while buyers who need a free trial or fixed published tiers will find less here.
What is Epos Now?
Epos Now is a cloud point-of-sale system for retail and hospitality businesses. It combines a till, card payments, inventory control, and sales reporting in one setup, so owners do not have to run sales, stock, staff, and payments through separate tools that do not share data. The product covers categories including bakeries, bars, convenience stores, florists, food trucks, and restaurants.
Day to day, staff ring up sales on a countertop terminal, tablet, or handheld device. The till handles split and separate checks, discounts, returns, and gift cards, and inventory levels update as items sell. Purchasing and receiving tools help keep stock replenished. Owners can view sales, margin, and stock in real time from any device, and the system stores data in the cloud. Offline access is also supported.
The platform is aimed at small businesses and freelancers, and the vendor reports more than 80,000 business locations across more than 70 countries. The Complete POS System is listed from $399 plus $84 per month, and businesses that need a tailored setup request a custom quote. Card processing is offered at one fixed rate for all cards, including American Express, and Epos Now Capital provides business financing.
What sets Epos Now apart is that the till, payments, and back office sit in one portal, with more than 130 app integrations, including Shopify, WooCommerce, QuickBooks Online, Xero, and Deputy. Hardware comes bundled with a terminal, printer, and card machine. US retailers using Epos Now Payments can also split SNAP, EBT Cash, and everyday payments within one basket. Many tools in this category handle only the till or only payments, while this one covers both.
