No. Never. Funky EPOS charges a flat £0 or £8/month and takes nothing from your takings. You bring your own SumUp or Zettle reader for card payments and keep everything the reader doesn't charge.
Any SumUp or Zettle reader you already own. In Funky EPOS you tap "card" as the tender type and take payment on your reader as normal — it's logged against the sale. Full in-app reader integration is on the roadmap.
Yes — just ask. We've negotiated great card-processing rates through our event-trade connections and can set you up with them. The Funky EPOS software still never takes a penny of your sales; this is simply us helping you pay less to your card provider too. Email hello@funkyepos.uk.
Yes. Pro is month-to-month — cancel whenever and you drop back to Free. Your data stays yours and you can export everything to CSV at any time.
Email support from people who run the same till in the same fields, with a 48-hour response target (usually much faster). It's a self-serve product by design — that's how we keep it £8, not £80.
Yes. Sales queue locally on the device and sync automatically when you're back online. You keep trading and never lose a sale.
Each trader is fully isolated, backed up off-site daily, and you can export everything to CSV whenever you like. No lock-in.
