Square wasn't built for what you sell.

Square's published terms restrict vape and tobacco commerce, and merchants report reviews and holds landing with no warning. PandazPOS was built behind the counter of a shop the big processors would rather not talk to. We bring you on knowing exactly what you sell, so nobody discovers your inventory six months in.

The questions everyone asks

Ask us what you'd ask them.

Q.1
"You're new."
True. PandazPOS is the new name. The platform under it already runs 175+ stores under an earlier brand, and the founder rings sales on it at his own shop every day. You are not beta testing.
Q.2
"Free hardware sounds like a catch."
The terminals are on us while you process with us. No lease, no rental line on your statement. Ask it on the demo call and we'll walk you through the exact terms.
Q.3
"Switching sounds painful."
Setup and menu migration are free and done for you. Your old register keeps ringing until the day the new one takes over.
Book a 15-minute demo. Bring your current statement; we read it line by line.
