1. How can I know if I actually need a new POS?

Answer: Working smarter, not harder.

Figuring out when to level up your POS game can feel like diving into a sea of options. 

A simple Google search will bombard you with countless brands claiming to be your perfect match. 

But here’s the real deal – cut through the noise and start identifying your specific needs. 

What are your requirements for seamless daily operations? Are there any administrative tasks that could be streamlined better? 

Because, let’s face it, every day should wrap up with a high-five, not a facepalm. We’re all about working smarter, not harder when it comes to running an efficient and successful bike store business.

2. How can I be sure if the POS is the right fit for my bike store?

Answer: You’ll never find out just by reading.

Taking a leap into the unknown can feel like a wild gamble. 

The questions lingering in your mind, “What if it’s not what I expected?” and “I’m not dropping cash on something that could flop.” 

We know how you feel. It’s way better to be confident from the get-go. 

We’re on a mission to show you how our POS can benefit your business — from online demos to no-strings-attached free trial. Whether you’re up for a solo trial run or craving a personal demo from our squad of experts, it’s that straightforward.

Answer: No worries. We’ll ensure a smooth onboarding process right from the start.

We get it. 

Even the most user-friendly POS system may need a bit of coaching for your employees to rock it. That’s why we put onboarding at the top of the list – ensuring you and your crew kick off on the right foot.

Before you know it, you’ll be ringing up those sales like a pro.

7. But what if I have to purchase equipment to get started?

Answer: Use your current hardware.

Got a computer, a receipt printer, or something lying around? Chances are you can recycle that gear. 

Do a quick test – create a free account and see if you can print a receipt or whip up a barcode and scan it. You can read more about our hardware recommendations right here.
