1. How can I cover the cost or part of the cost of purchasing a POS and connecting it to the cash register?
A significant part of the cost of purchasing a POS and interfacing it with cash registers is covered through the Digital Transactions Program.

Businesses were eligible to apply in the following Categories:
– Category 1: Provision of a new or replacement of an existing EFT/POS.
– Category 3: Obtaining electronic invoicing provider services & invoicing software.
– Category 4: VAT & ADIME upgrade for EFT/POS interface.
– Category 5: Replacement of EAFDSSS, except catering businesses.
