How to install the Atoa app or dashboard
-
Go to your Epos Now back office and click on the three-line hamburger icon. This opens Settings, then under Payments, enable the Pay button on the device.
-
Then go back to System and you’ll see that the Atoa app isn’t installed yet, which is why nothing is showing here. When you look at the till interface, you can see options like cash and debit card, but no Atoa payment option—because the app hasn’t been installed yet.
-
Find the App Store and search for Atoa. If you can't find it, we'll provide a link you can paste into your browser.
-
Click "Get Free App" and choose the store location to connect with Atoa.
-
If you have multiple stores, you can select them all or just one at a time.
-
Click "Set up App" which will take you to Atoa's dashboard to finish the setup.
-
You'll also get an email with instructions on how to link your Epos Now system to Atoa and start taking payments.
-
On Atoa's dashboard, click "Start Set up." If you're new to Atoa, sign up first. If you already have an Atoa account, the setup is quick.
-
Check that your Epos Now location and Atoa location match. If you have multiple stores, you can link your Epos Now locations to the corresponding location in Atoa. This way, all your transactions go to the right place. For example, if your business has two Epos Now locations, you'd create two locations in Atoa and then match them up in Epos Now.
-
Click "Order QR" to get your QR code stands.
Finally, you can order a special Atoa QR code stand that works with your Epos Now system.
How to use your QR stand with Epos Now
-
Once your QR stands arrive, place one at each till.
-
In Epos Now, go to "Settings" > "Additional" to check the Atoa app is switched on.
-
When you're ready to accept payments you'll see "Atoa" as an option on the POS screen.
That's it! You're ready to start accepting payments with Atoa.
How to make connecting easier
-
It's best to sign up for an Atoa account before you start the Epos Now integration.
-
If you have any questions or need help, send us a live chat message on the website.
-
The whole process is designed to be super easy, so you can start saving on card fees in no time!
How it works for your customers
-
When it's time to pay, your customer scans the QR code on the stand.
-
They'll have 5 minutes to complete the payment on their phone.
-
Once the payment is done, it'll be cashed off on your POS and you'll see a confirmation on the screen.
