You can use a branded online store, QR menus and WooCommerce with your Ewity catalogue. Confirm payment and delivery providers for your country during setup.

Question 13

Is my sales data safe with a cloud POS?

Contact us to confirm payment options for your country.

Do you help with setup and training?

Accepted Answer

Ask us about setup and training options in your country. On-site availability varies by location.

Question 17

Is Ewity compatible with my existing hardware?

Accepted Answer

Most likely, yes. Ewity works with standard POS hardware. Contact us with your equipment details and we'll confirm compatibility.

I'm switching from a traditional system — is that hard?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. Customers switching from traditional systems typically prefer Ewity, and our team helps you migrate your data smoothly.

Question 19

Can I manage my plan and invoices myself?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Billing is self-service from your Ewity dashboard — upgrade or downgrade your plan, apply coupons, preview your next invoice and download payment receipts whenever you need them.

Question 20

Accepted Answer

No. Loyalty and gift cards are built into Ewity's checkout — you enrol and reward customers right from the POS you already use.

Does loyalty work across multiple outlets?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A customer's points and balance follow them across all your shops and registers, so it's one experience everywhere you trade.

Question 22

Can I sell gift cards?

Accepted Answer
