Keep the POS You Have. Or Pick the One You Want.

Argent integrates with your existing point-of-sale or shopping cart instead of requiring you to switch — processing and POS are two separate decisions.

POS Integration

Your POS, Your Choice

If your current POS or shopping cart works for you, there's no reason switching processors should mean switching that too. Ripping out a system your staff already knows well, just to get better payment processing pricing, is exactly the kind of unnecessary disruption merchants dread — and it's a switching cost some processors count on to keep you from ever shopping around. Argent is a payment processor that works with your POS — built to integrate with the systems you're already using, not to replace them:

The real cost of a locked-in POS system usually isn't obvious until you try to leave it — worth checking before you commit, not after.

Common Challenges

Common POS Integration Challenges

The same five issues come up again and again for businesses evaluating a processor's POS compatibility.

A Processor That Requires a Specific POS

Getting locked into hardware or software you didn't actually choose, just to accept payments.

Sales and Inventory Data Living in Two Places

When your POS and payments aren't talking to each other, reconciling becomes manual work.

Slow or Unreliable Integration

A noticeable lag between a sale ringing up and payment actually confirming.

Switching Processors Means Relearning Everything

Staff having to learn new hardware and workflows just to get better pricing.

Limited Reporting Across Channels

In-store and online sales that don't show up together in one dashboard.

Questions

POS Integration FAQ

Compatibility & Setup

Will Argent work with my current POS system?

We support a large variety of POS systems and shopping cart platforms. Tell us what you're currently running and we'll confirm compatibility and walk through what integration looks like before you commit to anything.

How long does POS integration usually take?

Most integrations with common POS and e-commerce platforms are configured and tested within a few days. More specialized or custom setups can take longer depending on what the platform supports.

Do I need to buy new equipment for the integration to work?

Often not — many existing terminals and POS-integrated card readers can be reprogrammed rather than replaced. We'll confirm compatibility with your specific hardware before you commit to anything.

Can I integrate multiple locations with different POS systems?

Yes — multi-location businesses can run different POS setups per location while still reporting into one Argent account, though we'll confirm compatibility for each system individually.

What happens if my POS doesn't support integration at all?

In that case, a standalone terminal or virtual terminal can run alongside your POS as a separate but connected payment path, and we'll walk you through what that setup looks like day to day.

Pricing & Fees

Is there an extra fee for POS integration?

Integration itself isn't a separate line-item fee — you pay standard processing rates on transactions, the same as any other channel.

Does switching processors while keeping my POS save money?

It can, since your POS and processing are priced independently. Send us your last statement and we'll show you what switching just the payments side would actually save.

Are there fees charged by my POS provider for using a different processor?

Some POS providers charge integration or platform fees independent of your processor choice — that's a question worth asking your POS vendor directly, since it's separate from what Argent charges.

Will my rate change if I integrate with a new POS later?

Not automatically — your processing rate is tied to your Argent account, not your POS choice, so switching POS systems doesn't reset your pricing.

Do I pay more for integrating both online and in-person channels?

No separate fee applies for supporting both — you're billed standard rates per transaction across whichever channels you use.

Support & Switching

Who do I contact if the integration stops working?

You'll have a named point of contact on your account team who understands your specific POS setup, not a general support queue starting from scratch each time.

Can I switch POS systems later without switching processors?

Yes — processing and POS are two separate decisions with Argent, so changing your POS later doesn't require re-underwriting your processing account.

How disruptive is setting up a new integration to daily operations?

We test the integration before going live and typically schedule the cutover during a low-volume window, so most businesses see minimal disruption to daily sales.

What if my current processor says my POS is incompatible with switching?

That's worth double-checking independently — send us your POS details and we'll confirm compatibility ourselves rather than taking that claim at face value.

Does integrated reporting replace my POS's own reporting?

No — your POS's inventory and sales reporting stays intact. Integration adds synced payment data on top of it, rather than replacing what your POS already does well.
