Investing in a traditional cash register often follows the same pattern: a quote running into several thousand euros, a bulky terminal mounted on the counter, an installation that shuts down the business for half a day, and a 36- to 48-month contract hidden in the fine print. For a business owner who simply wants to process payments quickly, anywhere, and without any unpleasant surprises on the bill, this model is becoming less and less suitable. That’s exactly the gap thatEasyPOS is filling.
The Problem with Traditional Cash Registers
There are three recurring frustrations among retailers who use a traditional cash register:
- Start-up costs: Equipment (cash register, printer, cash drawer, payment terminal) often represents an initial investment of €1,500 to €3,000, even before you’ve taken in your first euro.
- Rigidity: the unit is bolted to the counter, with fixed wiring, making it impossible to move for a market, an event, or an outdoor seating area.
- The costs that add up: software subscription, terminal rental, a fee for each card transaction, early termination fees... the actual bill is rarely what’s listed in a single line.
EasyPOS was designed to overcome all three of these challenges at once.
What exactly is EasyPOS?
EasyPOS is an all-in-one mobile point-of-sale system by Easytransac : it combines point-of-sale software and card processing into a single app on a payment terminal, eliminating the need to install a bulky cash register. It works equally well over Wi-Fi and 4G, making it usable anywhere: in a store, at a market, in a food truck, at a pop-up store, or at a one-time event. This solution was originally developed for events to speed up payment processing and has now expanded to all industries.

The idea is simple: a merchant should be able to start accepting payments within minutes of signing up, without having to finance expensive equipment or call in a technician to set everything up.
An all-inclusive rate, with no threshold effect
EasyPOS operates on a simple monthly subscription plan:
- 67 € (excluding tax) per month for Wi-Fi;
- €72 per month (excluding tax ) for 4G, with built-in connectivity and everything included (no need to manage a SIM card separately).
In addition, there is a fee of 0.99% + 0.08 cts on European cards (excluding corporate cards), including interchange fees. In short: no hidden charges at the end of the month; the advertised rate is the one that actually applies to the overwhelming majority of transactions at a local business.
And unlike many solutions on the market, this price isn't just a promotional price: the payment terminal, maintenance, and support are all included in the subscription. There are no additional fees for renting a payment terminal, no maintenance fees to add, and no charges for on-demand support.
Note: Be sure to check your contracts—whether with your bank or an external service provider—to make sure that interchange fees are included. It’s all well and good to list a rate of 0.4%, but if the interchange fees aren’t included, that can make a big difference.
Why This Model Is a Game-Changer
- No need for expensive equipment: unlike a traditional cash register, EasyPOS runs on a mobile payment terminal/
- True mobility thanks to built-in 4G: the register follows the merchant, not the other way around.
- A transparent subscription: a fixed monthly fee, a single transaction rate, with no hidden fees.
- Payment terminal, maintenance, and support included: no need to negotiate a separate terminal rental or maintenance contract.
- An affordable entry-level option, particularly well-suited for small businesses, independent vendors, and seasonal or mobile operations that cannot justify the cost of equipment running into the thousands of euros.
A comprehensive back-office system for managing day-to-day operations
Fast checkout is just the tip of the iceberg. But EasyPOS also comes with a back-office system designed to give merchants a clear overview of their business, without needing a third-party tool in addition to the register:
- Statistics by product and category: Identify bestsellers and slow-moving items at a glance.
- Statistics by payment method: Track the breakdown between credit/debit cards, cash, and other payment methods.
- Multi-Store View: For retailers who manage multiple stores or booths, this feature provides a consolidated view of sales by store in addition to detailed information by location.
- Inventory Management: Tracking available quantities and setting restocking alerts to prevent both stockouts and overstocking.
- Table Management: Useful for restaurants with table service (seating chart, order tracking by table).
- Product Catalog: Create and update items, prices, and categories, with immediate synchronization at the register.
The goal: to ensure that merchants don't have to juggle multiple tools to process payments, track inventory, and analyze sales.
Comparison: EasyPOS vs. Flatpay, Innovorder, and Lightspeed
Here's how EasyPOS compared to three frequently mentioned point-of-sale solutions on the French market. Since Innovorder and Lightspeed’s pricing isn’t always published in full, the rates listed below are the publicly available starting prices; a customized quote may result in a different final amount.
Two points to keep in mind for a fair comparison: the Flatpay rate of 1.69% applies to all cards without exception, while the EasyPOS rate of 0.99% + 0.08 cts applies to all European cards except corporate cards; and Innovorder/Lightspeed rates vary significantly depending on the quote, the number of point-of-sale locations, and the equipment selected, whereas EasyPOS offers a single, all-inclusive rate from the start.
