Pros/Cons

Pros
The support is amazing, we really love the features and the extra add ons tht are free are amazing. The integration is also great and getting better by the day
Kounta system is very smart and easy to follow.

Cons
a little bit steep for a new business. But overall a great piece of software..the retail capacity is limited but works well for a cafe with a few retail items.
That it does not support eftpos New Zealand, yet other than that, there is not a lot to dislike.

Pros
It was very easy and convenient to use for a new business to get started. Awesome to be able to accept payment anywhere I had a cell signal, or wifi.
It is very easy to use. I love being able to list an item and then put in a custom amount. It is very fast and understandable. There is also no monthly fee just a fee per swipe. Which is awesome!

Cons
Cost per swipe is a little high, especially if the card is not present or the swiper isn't working and we have to hand-key the payment. Other than that, it's a great reliable software!
I am loathe to complain about the fees, because this is really worth the price and would be worth much more, but the fees could be a little lower.
