This will be determined by the number of goods you have and your current workload. Some merchants complete the procedure in a few hours, but if you have a large number of SKUs and limited free time, it could take many weeks.

We recognise that time is money for entrepreneurs, thus to make the procedure as quick and painless as possible, we recommend that you create CSV files containing the following before beginning:

• All products are listed with their prices, tax information, SKUs, and barcodes.
• Customers in your current database (if you have one)

For additional information, see Cygen's POS Buyer's Guide, which includes more information and checklists on what you'll need to know when selecting and setting up your POS system. If you require assistance, please contact us and one of our support experts would be happy to assist you.

Cygen also provides professional services such as hands-free setup (where we handle everything, including product migration and customer migration) and one-on-one training.

Alternatively, you can choose a Cygen partner in your region who will install the POS and set up your account for you. Our partners are Cygen POS certified professionals that can get you up and running with the gear, software, and services you need.

Cygen is extremely likely to work with your existing printers, scanners, credit card readers, and point-of-sale equipment. We put a lot of effort into ensuring the software operate with the best and most regularly used retail hardware, but we've heard from merchants who have had success with printers we hadn't heard of before.

However, for more information about the hardware, peripherals, and computers that are compatible with Cygen, visit our Recommended POS Hardware page.

The majority of people who migrate to Cygen's POS system never look back. Our POS software's user-friendly and straightforward layout, as well as its capabilities and connectors, are popular among merchants. You don't have to take our word for it; here are some testimonials from Cygen customers who are pleased with our POS system.

However, we recognise that every business is different, and not all tools will work for you. That's why we urge you to have a look at our point-of-sale software to determine if it matches your requirements.
