Epos Now

Epos Now offers a modern, cloud-based POS system designed to help Canadian retailers and hospitality businesses run smoother, track performance, and manage payments from one dashboard. Its feature set covers everything most small businesses need, including inventory control, employee management, analytics, and seamless ecommerce integration. The system is flexible, hardware-agnostic, and built to support multi-channel businesses operating across in-store and online sales.

Advanced analytics

Epos Now includes real-time reporting tools that help you understand what’s working in your business — and what isn’t. You can track top-selling items, slow movers, margins, and overall revenue performance. Reports can be customized to reflect how Canadian merchants operate (daily summaries, multi-location comparisons, GST/HST reporting needs), helping you make informed decisions about purchasing, staffing, and pricing.

Inventory management

Accurate inventory management is essential for avoiding stockouts, lost revenue, and product waste — especially for retail and hospitality businesses. Epos Now automatically updates stock levels as items sell and can send low-stock alerts so you can reorder on time. This reduces manual stock checks and helps prevent discrepancies that can lead to shrinkage or unnecessary write-offs.

Customer management

The built-in CRM lets you store customer details, track purchase history, and build loyalty through personalized promotions. Canadian businesses can use this data to create targeted marketing campaigns, understand buying trends, and reward repeat customers through loyalty programs — all without needing separate software.

Ecommerce & website integration

Epos Now integrates with major ecommerce platforms used widely in Canada, including Shopify, BigCommerce, and WooCommerce. This keeps your online and in-store inventory synced in real time, reducing fulfilment issues and offering customers a consistent shopping experience. When paired with integrated payments, customers can shop, pay, and receive updates effortlessly whether they buy online or in person.

Employee management & activity tracking

For growing Canadian businesses, team management is a must. Epos Now includes tools to track staff performance, hours, sales activity, and user permissions. These insights can help you identify top performers, schedule smarter, and maintain accountability across shifts — especially useful for hospitality venues and retail stores with large or rotating staff.

Payment flexibility (Canada-ready)

Epos Now supports integrated payments through popular Canadian payment processors, enabling merchants to accept debit, credit, contactless, and mobile wallet payments. With EMV-compliant terminals, transparent transaction reporting, and options to pair with merchant services partners, businesses can streamline checkout and reduce reconciliation time.

Because Epos Now is a fully cloud-based POS system, it’s flexible and easy to run on the devices you already own. You can access the back office and key business reports from almost any internet-enabled device — including your smartphone — making it simple to monitor performance from anywhere in Canada.

There’s no complicated hardware setup needed. Epos Now works with PCs, Macs, and most tablets, so businesses can choose the setup that fits their space and workflow. While Epos Now offers its own hardware bundles (such as POS terminals, receipt printers, and cash drawers), you’re not locked into proprietary equipment. You can connect compatible third-party hardware as needed, whether you’re expanding your checkout stations or replacing individual components.

This flexibility helps Canadian retailers and hospitality businesses scale efficiently without unnecessary tech costs.

You’ll find plenty of integrations or add-ons at Epos Now’s AppStore to extend your system’s capabilities. There are over 80 integrations available, such as Sage, Xero, Deputy, MailChimp, Nettl, Shopify, Wix, Evo, Appointedd, and many more.

Epos Now is designed to be extremely easy to use, making it a practical choice for Canadian businesses that need a POS system their whole team can learn quickly. The interface is clean, modern, and intuitive, so employees can navigate menus, process payments, and manage orders without confusion or long training sessions.

Because the system is cloud-based and the setup process is straightforward, most users can get up and running in under 20 minutes. There’s no steep learning curve, no complicated installation, and no technical expertise required. This simplicity makes onboarding faster and more affordable — especially valuable for retail stores and hospitality venues with high staff turnover or seasonal hiring.

Whether you’re processing sales on the shop floor, managing tables in a café, or fulfilling online orders, Epos Now keeps the workflow smooth and beginner-friendly.
