    Ideally it can work with any kind of retailer but workarounds and customisations required to handle deliveries.

    It works very well because the card reader can be easily carried in my bag or the event box that we take to exhibitions. It connects quickly and easily to my phone and we've never had any issues with taking the actual payments. Funds are then transferred to our bank account very quickly. I can't think of any circumstances where it wouldn't work well for us as I haven't experienced any!

    Cons
    Aptos
    • Data Director leaves room for improvement as it can be very tricky while dealing with a large number of master data records. Sometimes it doesn't write delete actions to POS.
    • Furniture retail is another area where improvement is required to handle deliveries.
    • Newer versions don't support data replicator which was the most reliable data tool with earlier LS Retail versions. There should be a replacement for this tool.

    I particularly wanted a reader that had a screen (so the customer could see the amount being paid) and one that offered chip and pin entry as well as contactless. Some of the other providers I looked at didn't have those features. I compared the apps also and SumUp's app offered the nicest, and most easy-to-use, overall experience.
