The panel's verdict
Epos Now is a POS vendor selling into retail and hospitality; persona-weighted verdicts run from 3.3 to 4.2. Payments and fees is the strongest criterion at 4-5: card rates are published exactly — 0,69 % + 0,10 € for domestic and EWR cards, 2,79 % + 0,10 € for premium, international and commercial ones — with Apple Pay and Google Pay named and standalone payments on a separate, non-integrated terminal. Checkout and hardware and operations and locations each score 3-4, resting on offline mode with 4G fallback, cash float at login, customer credit limits, stock takes and table service; accounting rests on a QuickBooks guide and a payout report, with no public information on DATEV or a documented API. Fiscal compliance is weakest at 0: the rationales are marked "not rated", no public information having been found on a certified technical security device, DSFinV-K or daily closings. Sovereignty spans 2 to 4, judges weighing the precisely named Madrid contracting entity against no public information on hosting, subprocessors or a data processing agreement. The bench computed no disagreements.
Speaks for it
- Card fees are published exactly by card type — 0,69 % + 0,10 € for domestic and EWR Visa, Mastercard and Girocard, 2,79 % + 0,10 € for premium, international and commercial cards.
- Offline mode securely stores and automatically processes transactions when the connection returns, with an instant 4G cellular fallback.
- The German imprint names the contracting entity precisely: Epos Now S.L. of Madrid, with commercial-register entry, VAT number and an appointed data protection officer.
- A QuickBooks integration guide and an accounting help article are published, alongside a back-office transaction report keyed to the payment provider's reference.
- Front-till and hospitality basics are documented: cash float entered at login, customer credit limits, stock takes, and tabs and tables.
Held against it
- We found no public information on a certified technical security device, a BSI certificate, a DSFinV-K export, daily closings or ten-year storage — fiscal compliance scored 0.
- We found no public information on supported devices, printers, drawers or scanners, digital receipts, split bills, returns or cancellations.
- We found no public information on staff roles and rights, per-employee reporting, or managing several branches from one back office.
- We found no public information on where sales and customer data are hosted, on subprocessors, or on a published data processing agreement.
- We found no public information naming the payment institution behind the terminal, on payout timing, or on terminal costs.
Best for
- You trade at markets or venues with unreliable connectivity and need documented offline selling with a 4G cellular fallback.
- You want fixed card rates in writing before you commit — 0,69 % + 0,10 € domestic and EWR, 2,79 % + 0,10 € premium and international.
- You run a single gastro or retail site needing cash float control, customer credit limits, tabs and tables, and stock takes.
- You keep a separate, non-integrated card terminal and want to run payments on it alongside the POS.
Avoid if
- You need a German cash register that can face a Kassennachschau — fiscal compliance scored 0 and we found no public information on a certified security device, a DSFinV-K export or daily closings.
- Your bookkeeping runs on DATEV — the pages publish a QuickBooks guide but we found no public information on a DATEV export.
- Your works council or data protection officer must clear hosting location and subprocessors before sign-off — the hospitality operations manager concluded this evidence would not pass that review.
- You must budget a full annual cost before committing — only card fees are public, and judges could not compute a year's cost from these pages.

How this is scored
How a sale is rung up and what it runs on: a fast till on tablet, phone or dedicated terminal, articles, modifiers and discounts, split bills and tips, receipts printed or sent digitally (QR code, email, a digital Bon), returns and cancellations, a customer display, which hardware is supported or sold (receipt printers, cash drawers, scanners, scales), and whether the till keeps selling when the internet is down.
0 — Not a till; sales cannot be rung up or receipts issued in the product.
3 — Sales rung up on one device with a printed receipt; digital receipts, supported hardware and offline operation are basic or not described.
5 — A till app on named devices (iPad, Android or Windows) with articles, modifiers, discounts and split payments, receipts printed or sent digitally, returns and cancellations, a list of supported printers, drawers and scanners, and an offline mode stated.
8 — Several device types and own or third-party hardware with a published compatibility list, offline mode with its limits stated (how long, which payments, how sync resolves), digital receipts meeting the receipt obligation, customer display, scales and barcode labels supported, and hardware rentable or bought with the terms stated.
10 — A till that never stops a sale: offline operation documented including card payments and fiscal signing, hardware open to standard devices rather than locked to the vendor, receipt layouts that meet the legal minimum content in each named country, and a stated uptime or a status page with incident history.
The Café Owner
This is a POS for gastro and retail with an offline mode that securely stores transactions and processes them once the connection returns, plus a 4G standalone fallback, tabs and tables, and cash float entry at the front till login. We found no public information on which devices the till runs on, supported printers, drawers and scanners, how receipts are printed or sent digitally, or on split bills, tips, returns and cancellations. For my twelve tables and my evening students that is only half of what I need to see. 2 5 8
The Retail Shop Owner
An offline mode that securely stores transactions and processes them when the connection is restored is stated, with a 4G cellular fallback for standalone use, and a cash float can be entered when logging into the front till. Hardware and payment processing are sold as product categories and support pages on receipts and hardware exist, but I found no public information on named devices, a compatibility list for printers, drawers or scanners, digital receipt delivery, or the limits of offline operation such as duration or payment types. 2 3 4 5 8
The Tax Adviser
A till demonstrably exists — the float is entered at login on the Front Till, Offline Mode stores transactions and processes them when the connection returns, and a 4G standalone fallback is offered — with hardware sold as its own line for retail and gastro, plus support pages on receipts and hardware. We found no public information on which devices the till runs on, supported printers, drawers and scanners, digital receipts, returns and cancellations, or the limits of offline card acceptance. 2 3 4 5 8
The Hospitality Operations Manager
Offline selling that securely stores and automatically processes transactions on reconnection, a 4G cellular fallback, a cash float at till login and customer credit limits are documented, and receipts and hardware have dedicated help sections. The captured pages never name the devices, supported printers and drawers, digital receipts, split bills or a customer display, so I cannot judge what my waiters would actually ring on. 3 4 5 8
The Fee-Conscious Merchant
There is a front till with an offline mode that securely stores transactions and processes them when the connection returns, plus a standalone mode with 4G cellular fallback — reassuring for a market stall in a busy hall. We found no public information on which devices the till runs on, on printed or digital receipts, or on which printers, drawers and displays are supported. 2 5 8
The Skeptic
The imprint lists hardware and payment processing as product lines, and a support page promises an offline mode that securely stores transactions until the connection returns, with an instant 4G cellular fallback — plus a front till with a cash float entered at login. We found no public information on which devices, printers, drawers or scanners are supported, on receipt formats, returns, cancellations or a customer display, though the receipt and hardware pages were among those we read. 2 5 8 3 4
Card payments & fees
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
How the till takes card and mobile payments and what that costs: an integrated terminal and the acquirer behind it named, girocard, credit cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay, tap to pay on a phone, the fee per transaction by card type, monthly terminal fees, payout timing, and whether the merchant may use a terminal or acquirer of their own choice instead. A "free" till paid for by card fees counts here.
0 — No card payment of any kind can be recorded at the till.
3 — Card payments recorded at the till, by an integrated terminal or by typing the amount into a separate one; the acquirer, the fees and the choice of terminal are basic or not described.
5 — An integrated card terminal with the payment provider named, girocard, credit cards and mobile wallets accepted, the transaction fee published for the main card types, payouts with their timing stated, and the amount passed to the terminal without retyping.
8 — Fees per card type and terminal cost published, tap to pay on a phone, tips and split payments on the terminal, several integrated acquirers or terminals to choose from (not only the vendor's own), the regulated payment institution named, and card payments reconciled to the daily closing.
10 — Payments without lock-in: the till works with any of several named acquirers on equal terms, fees for every card type, currency and chargeback published, the merchant's contract with the acquirer separable from the POS licence, and a change of acquirer documented without changing the till.
The Café Owner
Transaction fees are published by card type — 0,69 % + 0,10 € for Visa, Mastercard and Girocard, 2,79 % + 0,10 € for American Express and other premium or international cards — and Apple Pay and Google Pay are named. A standalone mode also processes payments on a separate terminal that is not integrated with the till, and a payout report exists in the back office. We found no public information on the payment provider or acquirer behind the terminal, terminal cost, payout timing, or whether I may keep an acquirer of my own. 2 5 6
The Retail Shop Owner
Card fees are published plainly — 0,69 % + 0,10 € for domestic and EEA cards including Visa, Mastercard and Girocard, and 2,79 % + 0,10 € for premium, international and commercial cards — with Apple Pay and Google Pay named and a payout report in the back office. A separate card terminal can also be used without integration. I found no public information naming the payment provider, the payout timing, terminal rental cost, or tap to pay on a phone, which holds this at the middle level. 2 5 6
The Tax Adviser
Epos Now Payments publishes exact card fees — 0,69 % + 0,10 € for domestic and EEA Visa, Mastercard and Girocard, 2,79 % + 0,10 € for premium, international and commercial cards — and accepts Apple Pay and Google Pay, with a payout report and transactions on a separate, non-integrated terminal also documented. We found no public information on the acquirer behind the payments product, terminal costs, payout timing, or whether a merchant may keep a terminal and acquirer of their own. 2 5 6
The Hospitality Operations Manager
Fees are published by card type — 0,69 % + 0,10 € for domestic and EEA Visa, Mastercard and Girocard, 2,79 % + 0,10 € for premium and international cards — with Apple Pay and Google Pay accepted, a standalone non-integrated terminal mode, and a back-office transaction report keyed to the payment service provider's reference. The payment institution behind it, payout timing, terminal cost and any right to bring my own acquirer are not described. 2 5
The Fee-Conscious Merchant
The fees are published per card type exactly as I want: 0,69 % + 0,10 € for domestic and EWR cards including girocard debit and credit, and 2,79 % + 0,10 € for premium, international and commercial cards, with Apple Pay and Google Pay accepted. We found no public information on the payment provider behind the terminal, monthly terminal fees or payout timing; a standalone option with a separate card terminal not integrated with the POS is described, without saying whether I may bring my own acquirer. 2 5
The Skeptic
Two fee tiers are published exactly — 0,69 % + 0,10 € for domestic and EWR Visa, Mastercard and Girocard, 2,79 % + 0,10 € for premium, international and commercial cards — with Apple Pay and Google Pay named, a separate unintegrated card terminal explicitly supported, and a back-office transaction report organised around the payment provider reference. But we found no public information naming the acquirer or regulated payment institution, on payout timing, terminal cost, or whether the amount passes to an integrated terminal without retyping. 2 5 6

Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Whether the till survives a cash audit: for Germany a certified technical security device (TSE) with its provider and BSI certificate named, hardware or cloud, the DSFinV-K export for the Kassennachschau and the tax audit, the receipt obligation (Belegausgabepflicht), the Kassenbuch and daily closing (Z-Bericht), GoBD-compliant storage for ten years, and help with the § 146a AO registration; for Austria the RKSV signature and FinanzOnline registration; for other countries their named fiscal rules (NF525, Fiskaltrust and similar).
0 — No fiscal function at all; the product is not a cash register in the legal sense, or states that it does not meet the fiscal rules of the markets it sells into.
3 — The till is called compliant ("finanzamtkonform", "KassenSichV-ready") without naming the TSE, the export formats or the closing; the details are basic or not described.
5 — A TSE included or offered with its provider named (hardware or cloud), the DSFinV-K export available, receipts carrying the TSE signature, a daily closing and cash book, and the receipt obligation met on paper or digitally.
8 — TSE provider and BSI certification named with what happens when the TSE fails, DSFinV-K and the GoBD archive for ten years stated, the § 146a AO registration supported, a procedure documentation (Verfahrensdokumentation) template offered, and the fiscal rules of at least one further country (Austrian RKSV or another) named and met.
10 — Audit-proof across markets: fiscal compliance documented per named country with certificates published, the procedure documentation maintained by the vendor, the fiscal journal exportable after the contract ends, and the vendor's handling of a Kassennachschau (what the auditor gets, from whom, how fast) described.
The Café Owner not rated — no public information
We found no public information on a TSE and its BSI certificate, the DSFinV-K export, the receipt obligation, a daily closing or Kassenbuch, GoBD storage, or Austrian RKSV and other national fiscal rules. The German imprint captured here covers company registration and GDPR duties only, and nothing in the captured homepage, imprint or receipts pages addresses cash-register compliance. As a German café owner this is the first question I ask, and the pages do not answer it. 1 2 3
The Retail Shop Owner not rated — no public information
I found no public information on a certified security device or its provider, the DSFinV-K export, a daily closing, a cash book, the receipt obligation or registration help for Germany, nor on Austrian or other countries' fiscal rules. The imprint's legal references cover media and digital-services law, not cash-register law, so this criterion remains unevidenced on the captured pages. 1 2 3
The Tax Adviser not rated — no public information
I found no public information on fiscal compliance in the captured pages: no technical security device with its provider and BSI certificate, no DSFinV-K export, no daily closing or cash book, no help with the § 146a AO registration, and no Austrian or other country's fiscal rules. The German legal notice and girocard pricing show Germany is a target market, but I found no public information on how the system would stand up to a Kassennachschau. 1 2
The Hospitality Operations Manager not rated — no public information
We found no public information on a certified technical security device, its BSI certificate, a DSFinV-K export, the receipt obligation, the cash book and closing, or Austrian RKSV in the captured pages; the receipts and payments help sections describe function, not fiscal signing. I read the imprint, the receipts article and the payments pages and found nothing my tax adviser could use to judge a cash audit. 2 3 5
The Fee-Conscious Merchant not rated — no public information
We found no public information on fiscal compliance — no technical security device, DSFinV-K export, daily closing or receipt obligation appears on the pages captured, including the receipts and payments documentation. For a German cash register this decides whether I may use it at all, so I cannot score it. 2 3 5
The Skeptic not rated — no public information
We found no public information on a TSE or its provider, BSI certification, DSFinV-K, the Austrian signature rules, daily closings, or ten-year storage on any page we read — not even on the German imprint, which is otherwise meticulous about registers, supervisory authorities and a named data protection officer. 1 2 9
Inventory, tables, staff & locations

How this is scored
What the till runs beside the sale: stock and articles with variants, suppliers and purchase orders, recipes or ingredients for hospitality, tables, courses and a kitchen display or kitchen printer, self-order and QR ordering, staff logins with roles and rights, cash differences per employee, reports by product, staff and hour, and several branches or sites managed from one back office.
0 — No articles, stock, staff or reporting beyond the single sale.
3 — An article list and a sales report; stock, staff rights, tables and several locations are basic or not described.
5 — Article and stock management with variants or modifiers, staff logins with roles, reports by product, employee and period, and for hospitality tables and kitchen printing or a kitchen display; several locations or tills under one account.
8 — Stock with suppliers, purchase orders and inventory counts or recipes, a kitchen display and QR or self-order, granular staff rights and a log of cancellations and voids per employee, central articles and prices pushed to several branches, and cross-site reporting.
10 — Multi-site operations run through the product: stock transfers between branches, central menu and price management with local overrides, franchise or group structures, forecasting from sales history, and every change to an article, price or void attributed and exportable.
The Café Owner
Tabs and tables with customer credit limits and cash float control at login are documented, and the vendor sells into gastro and retail. We found no public information on kitchen printers or a kitchen display, staff logins with roles and rights, stock and article management, reports by product, staff and hour, or several branches under one back office. Without the kitchen printer and per-staff void control my café cannot run on this evidence. 2 8
The Retail Shop Owner
A stock-take function and a tabs-and-tables page are documented, retail and hospitality are both addressed, and the cash float is managed at till login. For my two branches I found no public information on variants for articles in several colours, suppliers and purchase orders, stock transfers between locations, cross-site stock and reporting, staff roles, or per-employee cash differences. 2 7 8
The Tax Adviser
Stock takes, tabs and tables for gastro, a cash float entered at login and customer credit limits are documented, with separate retail and gastro editions. We found no public information on staff logins with rights and per-employee cancellation logs, recipes, purchase orders, kitchen display or self-order, or managing several branches from one back office. 2 7 8
The Hospitality Operations Manager
Help pages cover stock takes and tabs and tables, the till documents a cash float entered at login and customer credit limits, and both retail and hospitality are named as segments. Staff roles that would stop a waiter voiding his own bills, reports by product, employee and hour, and central menu and price management pushed to several sites are not described in what I read — which is the core of my job. 2 7 8
The Fee-Conscious Merchant
Documented are customers with credit limits, a cash float entered at login on the front till, support pages on stock takes and table service, and a product aimed at both retail and hospitality. We found no public information on staff roles and rights, per-employee reporting, or running several branches from one back office. 2 7 8
The Skeptic
What the captured pages show is a front till with a login, a cash float adjustable from an Admin menu, customers with assigned credit limits, and a vendor selling to both retail and hospitality. We found no public information on stock and variants, table service, staff roles and rights, or several branches managed from one back office, even though the stock and tables articles were among those we read. 2 7 8
Accounting handoff, DATEV & data export

Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
What reaches the books and what leaves with the merchant: an export to DATEV (DATEV format, DATEV Kassenarchiv online, DATEV Unternehmen online) and to named accounting tools, booking with revenue accounts and tax rates, card payouts and fees reconciled, an API and webhooks, integrations with shop, booking or staff tools, and a complete export of articles, customers, sales and fiscal journals when the contract ends.
0 — No export of any kind; the day's figures have to be retyped.
3 — A CSV or PDF report of sales; booking data, named integrations and a full export are basic or not described.
5 — A DATEV export or another named accounting export with revenue accounts and tax rates, several integrations listed, a documented API, and sales and articles exportable.
8 — DATEV Kassenarchiv online or DATEV Unternehmen online named, card payouts and fees booked separately for reconciliation, a public API with webhooks and a developer portal, integrations with named shop, booking and staff-scheduling tools, and a full export of articles, customers and sales stated.
10 — Nothing stays behind: a complete export of all records including the fiscal journal and receipts in documented formats, access to past data after cancellation for the retention period stated, a migration path from and to other named systems, and the API covering every object the back office shows.
The Café Owner not rated — no public information
We found no public information on a DATEV export or DATEV Kassenarchiv online, booking with revenue accounts and tax rates, a documented API, or a complete export of sales and articles when the contract ends. The captured accounting overview and QuickBooks guide pages show no details of export formats, booking rules or data-return terms, so what reaches my tax adviser stays an open question. 9 10
The Retail Shop Owner
A QuickBooks integration guide and an accounting support page exist, and a back-office transaction report explains the payment-service-provider reference, so the card business can at least be reviewed. I found no public information on a DATEV export, booking with revenue accounts and tax rates, a documented API, or a full export of articles, customers and sales when the contract ends — and DATEV is what my tax adviser wants. 5 9 10
The Tax Adviser
A dedicated Accounting section and a QuickBooks integration guide are published, and the back office offers a payout report built around the payment provider's reference. We found no public information on a DATEV export, booking by revenue account and tax rate, a documented API, or a complete export of articles, customers, sales and fiscal journals when the contract ends — the last point is exactly what my clients' auditors ask about. 5 9 10
The Hospitality Operations Manager
The help centre carries an accounting article and a QuickBooks integration guide, so a named accounting handoff exists. DATEV, booking with revenue accounts and tax rates, a documented API, and a full export of articles, customers and sales at contract end are not described in the captured pages. 9 10
The Fee-Conscious Merchant
A back-office transaction report explaining the payment service provider reference exists, and the support area carries a payout report and a QuickBooks integration guide. We found no public information on a DATEV export, a documented API, or a full export of articles, customers and sales when the contract ends. 5 6 9 10
The Skeptic
The only confirmed artefact is a transaction report in the back office centred on the payment service provider's reference number — useful for chasing a payout, not a booking export. We found no public information on DATEV or any named accounting export with revenue accounts and tax rates, on a documented API, or on a full export of articles, customers and sales when the contract ends. 5 9 10
European sovereignty
panel opinion
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Who the contracting entity and the parent company are, where sales, customer and employee data are hosted, and who the subprocessors are (hosting, cloud TSE, payment processing, receipt delivery, email, analytics). Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline; POS data is financial and fiscal at once, holds staff logins and customer cards, and has to stay readable for the tax office for ten years, so the whole chain counts, not only the database.
0 — Non-EU vendor and contracting entity, hosting unstated, subprocessors unnamed, and no data processing agreement offered.
3 — A privacy policy and a data processing agreement exist, but hosting location is unstated or non-EU and the subprocessors are not listed.
5 — EU hosting available and an EU contracting entity or EU representative, but parts of the chain (cloud TSE, payment processing, email, analytics, support) run through non-EU providers without a stated safeguard.
8 — EU hosting on named infrastructure, EU contracting entity, TSE provider and payment institution, subprocessors listed with their locations, a data processing agreement published, and security certifications (ISO 27001, SOC 2) stated.
10 — Sovereign end to end and evidenced: European ownership, entity, TSE, payment institution, hosting and every subprocessor, data export and deletion documented, and certifications published with their scope rather than implied.
The Café Owner
The contracting entity for Germany is Epos Now S.L. in Madrid, registered with the Madrid commercial register and with a named data protection officer, so the contract sits in the EU; the imprint also lists Epos Now LTD. We found no public information on where sales and customer data are hosted, on subprocessors for payments, support or email, or on a published data processing agreement. Ten years of tax-office-readable data means I need the whole chain in writing before I trust it. 2
The Retail Shop Owner
The contracting provider is Epos Now S.L. of Madrid, registered in the Spanish commercial register with a VAT identification number and a GDPR data protection officer named, so the entity is at least European, though Epos Now LTD also appears in the imprint. Beyond that I found no public information on where my sales, customer and staff data are hosted, on subprocessors anywhere in the chain, on a data processing agreement, or on security certifications — and with ten years of tax-readable data that decides it for me. 2
The Tax Adviser
The German legal notice names Epos Now S.L. in Madrid — a Spanish limited company with commercial-register entry and VAT number — as the service provider, with a data protection officer appointed, though Epos Now LTD also appears on the same notice. We found no public information on where sales and customer data are hosted, on the subprocessors in the chain, or on a published data processing agreement, so I cannot tell whether till, payment and receipt data stay in the EU for the ten years the tax office needs them. 2
The Hospitality Operations Manager
The contracting entity for Germany is Epos Now S.L. of Madrid, registered in the Madrid commercial register with a Spanish VAT number, and a data protection officer is appointed under Article 37 GDPR. But the imprint is issued jointly with Epos Now LTD, and nothing in the captured pages states where till, staff and payment data are hosted, which subprocessors run payments, receipt delivery or analytics, or that a data processing agreement is published — my works council and DPO could not sign off on this. 2 5
The Fee-Conscious Merchant
The contracting entity is Epos Now S.L., a Spanish limited company seated in Madrid and registered there, with a GDPR data protection officer named, and a UK entity, Epos Now LTD, named alongside it in the legal notice. We found no public information on where sales data is hosted, on the subprocessors in the chain, or on a published data processing agreement. 2
The Skeptic
The German imprint is unusually concrete about who you contract with: Epos Now S.L., a Spanish limited company at Calle de Vallehermoso 82 in Madrid, registered at the Madrid commercial register with a Spanish VAT number and a data protection officer named under Art. 37 GDPR. Beyond the entity the chain goes dark — we found no public information on where sales and customer data are hosted, on subprocessors, or on a published data processing agreement, and the imprint also names an Epos Now LTD without giving its seat. 2
Pricing transparency
not rated — the vendor publishes no price
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Whether a buyer can compute the real annual cost from public pages alone: licence per till or per location, which modules (tables, kitchen display, stock, extra tills, DATEV export) cost extra, the TSE and its yearly fee, hardware to buy or rent, card terminal fees and transaction fees, setup and installation, support plans, minimum term and notice period.
0 — No public prices at all; every customer is a sales call or a dealer quote.
3 — A starting price or a free tier exists, but how cost scales with tills, locations, modules or hardware is unclear.
5 — Plans are public with their price per till or location and main inclusions, but at least one commonly needed piece (the TSE, extra tills, hardware, card fees, setup) is unpriced or "on request".
8 — Every plan priced publicly with its scaling rule, the TSE, hardware and add-ons priced, card fees and terminal costs listed, setup and support priced, minimum term and VAT treatment stated.
10 — Complete price computability: annual cost derivable for a given number of tills, locations, modules and card volume, with every add-on, hardware, TSE, setup, support and payment fee and the cancellation and data-return terms published.
The Café Owner
The only public prices I found are the card fees — 0,69 % + 0,10 € for domestic and EWR cards, 2,79 % + 0,10 € for premium and international — plus a UK-only shipping note of two or three working days. We found no public information on the licence price per till or location, a TSE fee, hardware prices, setup and support plans, or minimum term and notice period. I cannot read off a monthly cost for year one, let alone year two. 1 2 4
The Retail Shop Owner
The only prices I could find are the card transaction fees of 0,69 % + 0,10 € and 2,79 % + 0,10 €, plus hardware shipping times for UK customers, which are times rather than costs. I found no public information on the licence price per till or location, hardware prices, any security-device fee, setup, support plans, or the minimum term and notice period, so a real annual cost for two shops cannot be computed from these pages. 1 2
The Tax Adviser
Card acceptance is exactly priced — 0,69 % + 0,10 € for domestic and EEA cards, 2,79 % + 0,10 € for premium, international and commercial — and UK hardware orders state two or three working days' shipping. We found no public information on the licence price per till or location, hardware purchase or rental prices, setup, support plans or minimum term, so no buyer can compute a site's annual cost from these pages. 1 2
The Hospitality Operations Manager
Card fees by card type and UK hardware shipping times are public, which is more than nothing. I found no licence price per till or location, no TSE fee, no hardware or terminal price, and no setup, support, minimum term or VAT treatment in the captured pages, so I cannot compute what a year would cost across eight restaurants. 2 5
The Fee-Conscious Merchant
The card fees are public and exact — 0,69 % + 0,10 € for domestic and EWR cards including girocard, 2,79 % + 0,10 € for premium and international — which is the number I most want on a price page. Beyond that we found no public information on licence prices, hardware costs, setup, support plans, minimum term, or whether the monthly cost pauses in the months my shop is closed. 2
The Skeptic
The only prices we found are card fees, quoted exactly: 0,69 % + 0,10 € for domestic and EWR cards and 2,79 % + 0,10 € for premium, international and commercial ones, plus a UK shipping window of two to three working days for hardware. We found no public information on licence or subscription prices, plan contents and scaling, hardware prices, setup, support plans or minimum terms, so a real annual cost cannot be computed from public pages. 2 5

Where this could be wrong
- Evidence ages. The oldest capture behind this page is from 3 Nov 2026. Vendors change pricing and policies without notice; every fact reflects its source as of the capture date shown in the registry.
- Weak sourcing — Legal entity. Not confirmed on the vendor’s own pages as captured.
- AI can misread a source. Extraction and judgement are automated; a citation guarantees traceability, not infallibility. If something here is wrong, say so — no account needed, every report is decided within 5 business days, and accepted corrections are published.
