POS Comparison FAQs
Choosing the right POS system is a big decision. Here are the questions most South African business owners ask before switching.
See POS Devices
Look for four things: total cost of ownership, load-shedding resilience, contract flexibility, and local payment support. Avoid systems with monthly software licensing fees, settlement fees, or multi-year lock-ins.
Prioritise devices with built-in 4G and battery backup so you can keep trading during outages, and check that the provider supports local needs like SASSA card acceptance and payouts to any South African bank.
Yoco combines POS software, payments, and hardware in one system with no monthly software fees, no settlement fees, and no contract lock-in.
Most traditional South African POS providers charge separately for software, payments hardware, and integrations, or tie merchants into monthly subscriptions. Yoco is also purpose-built for South African conditions, with battery-powered devices and 4G connectivity included.
Traditional POS systems typically charge monthly software licences, require long setup projects, and lock merchants into contracts.
Yoco has no monthly software fees, sets up in minutes, and combines payments and POS software in one device. You buy the hardware once and use the software for free, forever.
You pay once for the device, and nothing monthly for the software. There are no settlement fees, no licence fees, and no hidden costs. You only pay a transaction fee when a customer pays you by card.
Yes. Most merchants keep their current system running while they set up Yoco in parallel: add your products to the Yoco catalogue, set up staff profiles, and switch over when you're ready.
Your Yoco POS arrives within 3 business days with free nationwide delivery, and Yoco comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee so you can trial it with no risk.
Setup is designed to take minutes, not days
Yes, if you're using a Khumo handheld or Khumo Print, which come with built-in batteries (up to 18 hours on the latest models) and 4G plus Wi-Fi connectivity as standard.
You can keep taking payments, ringing up sales, and running your shop during power cuts and Wi-Fi outages without an add-on or backup setup.
If you're running a Yoco Counter, we'd recommend pairing it with a UPS or backup power source so the full Counter setup stays live through outages.
No. Yoco has no monthly software subscriptions and no lock-in contracts. You buy the device once, and the POS software, product catalogue, inventory tracking, and sales reports are included at no extra cost.
Yoco POS accepts card payments (chip, swipe, and contactless), digital wallets including Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay, and SASSA cards.
You can also process partial refunds and split payments on the device, and manage online payments (invoices, payment links, and e-commerce integrations like Shopify, WooCommerce and Wix) from the same Yoco account, with payouts to any South African bank.
