Put your Retail POS account on ice!
You can pause your Retail POS account for a small monthly fee to save all your data until you need it again! This is perfect for seasonal businesses, or when you just need a break from selling and want to pick up where you left off when you're ready to start selling again.
For further information on pausing your account, read our Pausing your Retail POS account (On-Ice) guide.
