Who can use this feature?

  • Administrators and instructors + back office
  • Premium MAX PRO / Add-On «POS system»

The POS system is a comprehensive addition to SportsNow and allows you to sell products and process refunds. Basically, you can manage your cash register on the web, evaluate your sales and sell products with the app. When selling, you can choose from different payment options (cash, EC, credit card, TWINT, customer credit). This allows you to collect the amount with any payment terminal. The payment terminal is therefore independent of SportsNow and can therefore be used with the POS system without any problems.
