Ever since the Covid-19 outbreak, shop owners of every kind will have heard the name Qashier at least once or twice — because Qashier is a fast-growing shop-management system out of Singapore that has helped businesses across Singapore, the Philippines, Malaysia, Australia and Thailand move from running a shop and taking payment the old-fashioned way to doing both digitally.
We suspect, though, that a fair few misconceptions about Qashier are still floating about. So in this article we answer the questions we get asked most often, to help everyone get to know us a little better.
Myth 1: How on earth is Qashier pronounced?
Qashier is pronounced “cash-ier”. It is easy to remember: it sounds exactly like “cashier”, only spelled with a Q.
Qashier is a company providing shop-management systems and terminals for selling and ringing up at the point of sale. It is not a lender of any kind. Our intention at Qashier is to support businesses and help them expand, with POS terminals that do everything and do not cost the earth — and, importantly, with an in-country support team on hand 7 days a week.
Myth 2: Is Qashier a games company too?
No — Qashier is not a games company. You can, however, add an element of gamification to your business through promotions or a loyalty programme, to get customers engaging and interacting more.
There are plenty of promotions you can run through Qashier: loyalty points, member benefits, discount cards, discount vouchers, gift cards and much more.
Myth 3: Is a Qashier terminal the same thing as a cash machine?
Not remotely — Qashier is not a cash machine. A Qashier POS terminal rings up sales, sells and takes payment in cash, and can also start taking contactless payments by scan-to-pay.
Myth 4: Can a Qashier terminal only take payments?
No. A Qashier terminal comes with a complete shop-management system. You can take orders, check stock automatically, produce sales reports, manage staff and run promotions. Better still, Qashier POS is designed to be easy to use with no learning curve at all, so you can start selling within minutes of setting it up.
Myth 5: Is Qashier only suitable for large businesses?
Another common misconception. Qashier POS works for a business of any type and any size. Whether yours is small or large, and whether you want a simple shop-management system or something more involved, Qashier POS will do the job — because Qashier is a shop-management system whose settings and features you can tailor to whatever you need. And as your business grows, the POS can be adapted to keep up.
There is plenty of choice, too. A small business or one starting out from home can begin with the Qashier app, available for Android devices. A start-up or mid-sized business might choose QashierX1, fully featured but portable, while a larger business has QashierXL, with its extra-large dual touchscreens and considerably more power.
Myth 6: Does Qashier still only take cash?
In fact, alongside cash we support various kinds of QR payment, including PromptPay and TrueMoney — and you can take payment through an EDC terminal as well, to cover an even wider range of payment methods.
Those are some of the questions people most often wonder about when it comes to Qashier. If you still have a question about Qashier or about using it, do get in touch through any of the channels below.
