Countertop EPOS tills

 

 

A countertop EPOS till is the most popular — and often the cheapest — type of EPOS system available. They’re operated using either a keyboard or touchscreen interface and can be integrated with a tablet device or wireless card machine to form a more mobile EPOS solution.

EPOS tills: renting vs. leasing

For many businesses it makes sense to rent an EPOS system. But if you do decide that purchasing is the best way to go then it’s worth considering a lease-to-buy deal.

 

EPOS leasing contracts typically run for about 18 months and at the end of it the system is yours to keep.

 

Rates are a little higher than with a rental contract but installation is usually free and most suppliers offer technical support inclusive of the leasing fee.

 

Typical monthly cost of leasing an EPOS system

(Price of system: £1,000)
