Frequently Asked Questions

How do I handle COD payments?

Equip drivers with mobile card readers. Square or Clover Go work well. Driver processes payment on delivery, signature captured electronically. Syncs to your system automatically.

What about customer credit terms?

Most POS systems handle immediate payments. For Net-30/60 terms, use your ERP or accounting software for invoicing and integrate payment processing separately.
