Epos Now review

Epos Now suits shops that want hardware, software and a QuickBooks link bought from one place. Its AppStore page for QuickBooks says the integration lets you quickly export sales data, and that Epos Now purchase orders, sales, discounts and more go directly to your QuickBooks account. Epos Now claims this saves on average 8 hours of work per month on accounts. Existing customers install the app from the Epos Now AppStore, which also holds Shopify, Mailchimp and Deputy integrations. The page does not describe COGS, inventory value or liability handling, and parts of it describe UK features such as Making Tax Digital and HMRC submissions, so US buyers should ask which fields sync before signing. We could not confirm Epos Now's US prices in USD from our location, so pricing is marked as pending. On documented QuickBooks depth it trails every other system here.
