POS-n-go Android POS Manual
The POS-n-go restaurant online ordering and retail online store is included at no additional cost. You can make a subset or all of your items available online. Our online functionality leverages your existing category, product, modifier, discount and tax setup. Selling online is as easy as adding an image and brief description for your products. Your sales and inventory are tracked the same way as for in-store.
Our online template is a leading design using the latest responsive technology that dynamically adapts the layout for phones, tablets and computers. Custom brand your site with full control over colors, logos, banners, announcements, custom web pages and more.
Choose if you want to accept payments online with our integrations to Elavon, Nuvei and Stripe, or take payment in person through your existing payment solution. Our flexibility enables significant cost savings compared to other solutions that force you to use their payment processing.
When a customer places an order online you will be notified by email. You can optionally enable automatic printing of online orders on your existing in-store hardware. You can also view and manage online orders in real-time through your in-store device or the POS-n-go secure web portal.
Depending on how many products you want to sell online, you can be live in a couple of hours! You can create a button on your Facebook page linking to your online store.

Instant inventory enables you to sell event tickets, classes or workshops, door crashers or any product with limited quantity that is expected to sell out quickly. Inventory is managed in real-time for both in-store and online ordering. Products added to an order using online ordering have inventory placed on hold for a configurable number of minutes. If the online ordering checkout is not completed before the time expires the inventory hold is released and the product is removed from the cart.
You can customise the order process to take advantage of individual item special instructions, a custom checkout prompt to capture date, time or other information, as well as control the customer information collected. Capture as little or as much information as you need.
Our flexible discount functionality can be used with online store discount codes. Create any number of discount codes to run promotions. Discounts can be a fixed amount, a percentage of the entire order, or a percentage of one or more categories of products.
Restaurants can charge for delivery along with free pick-up. Retail shops can customise shipping options including free shipping, threshold based fixed rates and real-time integrated Canada Post cost based on weight and dimensions.
Canada Post commercial shipping estimates require you to open a no cost Canada Post online account. More information can be found at canadapost.ca. You will also need API keys through the Canada Post Developer Program. Join at canadapost.ca/developers. If account number and API credentials are not configured then Canada Post counter rates will be used.
Your online store can be accessed through the posngo.com/shop/ domain or you can optionally purchase your own custom domain name such as mybusiness.com. Please open a support ticket for more information.
