Are you struggling with a POS and payment processing method that works all the time for your business? And now, they’re talking about adding crypto to the long list of ways your customers can pay. How do you choose the best company for your POS and payment processing from the long list?
It depends on your business needs, but we’ve narrowed it down to a few options for you. The one system that stands out is Square, as an overall excellent choice. Its POS plan is free.
It features a highly rated mobile app, as well as tools to manage sales, inventory, appointments, and online orders. If your business requires a more specialized app, such as one for a restaurant, Square has that. You must use its payment processing, but it’s highly rated.
Is your business mainly e-commerce or omnichannel? Shopify’s POS and payment processing options are among the best on the list. It does offer a free POS, but its capabilities are limited.
Are you in the food service business? Toast provides all the tools you need, along with a free starter POS. Does your company handle a high volume of mobile transactions, and do you want a choice in payment processors? Clover is an excellent option.
Do you conduct a lot of business internationally? Stripe is the best payment processor for international transactions. Stripe comes integrated into some POS systems, or you can add it to your existing POS.
