Introduction

Global Payments ePOS is a fast, secure and reliable way for a business to take card payments aimed at both retail and restaurant. We believe setting up an ePOS system should be simple and should give you all the tools you need to stay in control of your business at all times. It’s super easy to set up, even easier to operate, and our unique web based back-office system ensures real-time data is available anytime, anywhere.

Our Semi-Integrated solutions and Integration Partners can help you get up and running with an ePOS system tailored to your business needs. Our partner index outlines the solutions that each partner supports, and you can get in touch directly with a member of our team to get started.

If you already have an ePOS system, check our available Terminals, which can operate in either Semi-Integrated or Standalone mode. In addition, our Mobile Pay solution can turn your Android or iOS device into a payment terminal and business tool with a single point-of-sale app.
