FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is there really a free POS system in Singapore?
Yes. Several providers, including FnB Matters, offer POS software with no monthly subscription. They typically earn from payment processing or optional paid add-ons, so compare the per-transaction rate and what's included before choosing.
What hardware do I need for a free POS?
Any modern tablet, phone or laptop with a browser. A receipt printer (about S$80–S$400) and a cash drawer are optional. You do not need to buy a proprietary terminal.
Does a free POS handle GST correctly?
FnB Matters supports GST-registered and non-registered businesses, shows 9% GST and optional 10% service charge on bills and receipts, and gives you daily sales reports for your accounts. Confirm your IRAS reporting needs with your accountant.
What is the catch with free POS systems?
Watch for higher card fees, long contracts, paid-only hardware, limits on menu items or outlets, and charges for reports or support. Ask for every fee in writing.
Can I switch from my current POS?
Yes. Send us your menu export or a photo of your menu and we will set it up. Many outlets run both systems side by side for a week before switching over.
