              FAQ

              Do You Have Any Questions?

              We work with a network of payments professionals and do not work directly with the public. Please contact your rep for demos, pricing, and system availability.

              How do I get a demo of your point of sale offerings?

              We work with a very select group of payment processing sales teams. We provide access to the hardware and software for point of sale excellence, and they manage the initial client relationships. If you’d like to get in contact with one of our select partners, please reach out here.

              Is there a monthly fee for your point of sale systems?

              Yes, the only “free” point of sale systems are ones that get bundled with restricted processing choices – something we refuse to do. 

              Do your systems support cash discount and other fee based programs?

              Yes, each of the systems we provide access to offer fee based programs. You will need to speak with your payment processing agent for more details.

              How long is the contract for POS Authority systems?

              We do not offer any system that requires a long-term contract. Everything is month-to-month.
