Questions before you switch

Can I replace my counter devices with Sophosic?

Treat the counter setup as its own decision. List the payment methods, receipt, refund, and connectivity requirements you rely on, then test them against what is available in Sophosic. Sophosic does not currently offer an app for in-person card payments. Keep your existing payment setup until an available replacement meets your requirements.

What belongs in a Clover cost comparison?

Count the devices and accessories at each location, software subscriptions, card-processing fees, and any apps your team needs. Compare the same sales mix and billing period against current Sophosic Pricing and a quote for your Clover configuration.

What should I export before changing POS systems?

Identify the catalog, customer, and order records you need to keep. Ask us to inspect representative exports and confirm supported fields. Validate a small import before choosing a switch date, and retain the original data as a backup.
