# getpos FAQ

> Short answers about cost, payments, hardware, countries and going live.

## What is getpos?

An AI builder for point-of-sale systems. You describe your till in a sentence, or upload screenshots of the till you use today, and getpos builds a working POS in about a minute: products, tiles, payments, receipts and reports. It runs in the browser on a tablet, computer or phone, on your own web address, and takes card, Swish, cash and more.

## Can it look like the till we already use?

Yes, that is the point. Upload screenshots of your current POS and getpos builds a look-alike with the same tiles, colours and layout, so cashiers do not have to learn a new screen. A photo of your menu fills in the products and prices.

## What does it cost?

There is no per-till licence. Building a till and trying it with demo payments costs nothing. When you go live, you see the card fees in your payment agreement before you sign.

## Which payment methods can the till take?

Card, including contactless, and American Express, plus Swish, Klarna, Vipps, MobilePay, gift cards, cash and pay by link or QR code. Tips on the terminal, split bills and pre-authorised bar tabs are built in.

## Do I need to buy hardware?

No. With Tap to Pay on iPhone or on an Android phone (through the CheckoutX app) you take cards on a phone you already own. For a counter or table service, payment terminals such as SurfTouch, SurfPrint and SurfPad pair with the till, and FinPrinter prints kitchen and bar tickets.

## Which businesses is it for?

Cafés and bakeries, quick-service and table-service restaurants, retail shops with barcodes, salons, padel and sports centres, and pop-ups and events. Each has a template to start from, and the assistant changes anything in plain words.

## How do I go live and take real payments?

Enter your organisation number and getpos fills in the company name and address from the company registry. A payment account is opened in the company's name; you check the details, add the bank account for payouts and sign with BankID. Then register a terminal, add the control unit, and switch the till from demo to real payments.

## Does it follow Swedish cash register rules?

Receipts, receipt numbers and Z-reports work the same way on every getpos till and are never changed by the AI. In Sweden a certified control unit (kontrollenhet) must be connected before the first real sale; the go-live checklist asks for its serial number, and the cash register name printed on every receipt.

## Which countries does getpos work in?

getpos is built for Sweden first: Swedish receipts, Swish, BankID signing and company lookup by organisation number. Vipps and MobilePay are there for Norway and Denmark; company lookup for other countries is on its way.

## Where does my till live?

On your own address, yourname.getpos.ai. Every change is a new version: publish any version and roll back at any time.

## Can I change the till later?

Yes. Ask the assistant in plain words, for example "add oat milk as an option on all coffees" or "move card payments first", and see the change as a picture before you publish it.

## Is card data safe?

Card details are read by the payment terminal or on a secure payment page and never pass through getpos. Payments are handled by a Swedish payment institution licensed by Finansinspektionen.

## Can I sell online too?

Yes. Switch on the webshop and the till's products are on sale online at your own address, yourname.getpos.ai/shop, with the same prices, photos and stock. Customers pay by card on a secure payment page, get a branded order confirmation, and the order lands on your till to pack. You send it with a tracking link, or the customer picks it up in the shop.

## Will search engines and AI assistants find my webshop?

Every product page tells search engines and AI shopping assistants its price, stock, delivery and returns in the structured way they read, and the shop publishes a plain summary for language models (llms.txt) and a sitemap. A readiness check in the builder says what is still missing, such as product descriptions or photos. Everything comes from what you wrote: getpos never invents claims about your products.
