Can I add additional modules later?

As standard, Idealpos comes as a full-featured Point of Sale software product. You are able to enter stock items, perform stock control, create buttons, add peripherals and use the software for your business needs.

Additional modules such as Restaurant, Integrated EFTPOS, Fuel Console and many more can all be added when you purchase the software, or at a later stage when you are more comfortable knowing exactly what you need.

How does online licencing work, and what if I don't have internet?

Online Licences can be used for Perpetual or Annual (subscription) Licence methods.

Online Licencing requires an Internet Connection. Every 4 hours, Idealpos will connect to the Idealpos.net Licencing Server to reload its licence. If an internet connection is not available, Idealpos 7 will work without an internet connection for a maximum period of 7 days.

Offline Licences will work without an Internet Connection for Annual Licences only. This licence type was designed for Customers who do not have an internet connection. Each year a file will need to be purchased from Idealpos to continue using the product.

Can I try before I buy?

You sure can, and as a matter of fact, we recommend it!

Have you tried restarting it?

Yes, it's an age old joke with anything IT related, but somewhat surprisingly it usually works, which is why it's one of the first questions we ask when supporting you. A good rule of thumb is, if the device doesn't get restarted often, restart it and see if the problem persists.
