Is there a truly free POS system in Australia?
Nivasik is US$0 for your 45-day Christmas trial. Others publish a free option too; most earn from card processing or charge for stock and staff features. The table above shows what each page says.
Why would a POS be free?
Usually because the company earns from processing your card payments or from add-ons. Nivasik does not process payments, so it is free for 45 days as an opening offer, with a list price shown.
What happens when the offer ends?
This is an opening offer. We may change it, or end it, at any time, without prior notice. Before anything is charged to you we will tell you in writing, and your data can be exported with no exit fee.
Run your own place on it, free
Every plan is free for 45 days this Christmas. The list price stays on the page, crossed out, so you know what it is worth; during the trial you pay nothing. The whole product is unlocked, there is no card to enter, and we help you set it up: your rooms or menu or stock list, your staff and your prices.
This is an opening offer. We may change it, or end it, at any time, without prior notice. Ask for your data and we hand it over, with no exit fee.
