While much of the population is staying home in recent months, businesses are adapting in new ways to connect with and serve their customers.
If you own a brick-and-mortar business, you may have begun shifting online to continue to sell your products and services. While the change to virtual team meetings and eCommerce can be a big change, there are a number of steps you can take to ease the transition. Here’s how to get started bringing your brick-and-mortar business online.
Go omnichannel
Set up selling online
If you aren’t already online, you don’t need technical skills to get started — and it’s a solid move for your business. Here are a few options.
Sell with a website:
If you aren’t online yet, set up a simple online store for your products and services.
If you have an existing website, you can plug in our eCommerce tools or add an online checkout button to easily charge customers for single products.
Sell over email: You can send email to customers with checkout links included.
Sell on Instagram: Create shippable posts of your products on Instagram. Like us we put our hospitality epos system on Instagram
Here are some tips for how to set up your online store.
Strategize fulfillment and beyond
Before the online orders come in, you need systems in place to sort and count products, manage packaging, and ship and deliver orders. You should create an omnichannel retail strategy that includes the following:
Online inventory prep: Fulfilling online orders may change the way you manage inventory. Be sure to add omnichannel inventory management to your current inventory management practices.
Shipping and return measures: Will you offer free shipping? How will you handle the inevitable occasional return? Have a plan in place to ensure customers have a positive experience from start to finish.
Delivery and pickup options: If you’re a restaurant or retail business with local customers, you can add local delivery or pickup. You can also add shipping outside of your local area, if you choose to ship outside of your community.
Staffing: Whether you’re a one-woman show or a large team, who will manage and fulfill online orders? You may also need to train staff in new fulfillment procedures.
Stay Golden, a Nashville-based bar, restaurant, and coffee shop, has adapted to its community’s needs during the COVID-19 pandemic by setting up an online ordering page with Square. The team provides “survival packs” — family-style dinners, reheatable meals, cocktails, and pantry staples from wholesale inventory like flour, butter, and toilet paper — that customers can order online and pick up curbside.
The online offerings and curbside pickup have been so widely utilized that co-owner Jamie Cunningham says they’ll continue to offer it when operations shift long-term.

If you don’t have an EIN, you can apply for one with Square’s free EIN assistant, which guides you through the application. You can also apply for an EIN from the IRS.
The IRS requires Payment Settlement Entities, such as Square, to report the payment volume received by U.S. account holders. A 1099-K is the information return that is given to the IRS and qualifying customers.
Review this sample 1099-K form.
In the US, the state your taxpayer information is associated with will determine your qualification for a 1099-K.
Generally, accounts meeting both of the following criteria qualify for a 1099-K and must be reported to the IRS by Square:
SelectedEpos.com may report, solely within its discretion, on amounts below these thresholds to meet state and other reporting requirements. For example, if your tax reporting information is associated with Massachusetts or Vermont, we are required to issue a Form 1099-K and report to your state when you process $600 or more in card payments.
These reporting thresholds are based on the aggregate gross sales volume processed on all accounts using the same Tax Identification Number (TIN). If you have multiple accounts that use the same TIN, we will aggregate the volume for all accounts to see if you qualify for a Form 1099-K.
Learn how to update the Taxpayer Identification Number associated with your account.
For every account that meets the 1099-K requirements, including non-profits, the IRS requires SelectedEpos.comto report this information. According to the IRS, gross income is defined as all facets of income an individual has received throughout the calendar year.
If you qualify, you can download your 1099-K forms from the Tax Forms tab of your SelectedEpos.comDashboard.
The way businesses sell has changed so much. No longer do shops or stores have to run off slow tills, or revert to pen and paper if their till is unreliable. The EPOS technology available to retailers is now so advanced, that you might not realise just how much insight it can give you into your sales customers and business.
What your EPOS can tell you
If you invest in your EPOS Software, your business can gain so much more value from its transactions. Vector EPOS from CSY can tell you how many times a specific customer has visited your store, which items are the most or least popular, if it’s time to make an order to a supplier – it can even show how well your sales team is performing. The level of detail you can get from each item sold is really valuable and can have a big impact on your business.
The Till Is Your Business’ Most Important Tool
Vector EPOS systems makes your till so much more than just a place to take money. It becomes a hub that holds key information that you can use to benefit your business. You can spot customer trends which you can use to plan future sales campaigns. Noticed an item that isn’t selling so well? The you can use the information to create personalised promotions.
Sell with Intelligence
Vector from CSY has an integrated loyalty scheme that can be used to track the behaviour of customers. Retailers can create personalised promotions that reward regular customers as well as encourage people wo don’t visit as often to make more frequent trips.
Because every transaction is logged on Vector EPOS, it is really easy for retailers to spot the departments that are doing well, and not so well. A good example of this is if a garden centre or a farmshop has a cafe, there may be some customers who never visit it. To attract customers, a free cup of coffee could be offered to encourage them to have a sit down in the cafe – take up for offers like these can be very profitable.

Whether you run a garden centre chain, own a fashion store, or provide independent living items, we have developed Vector to include tailored features that suit customers in each of the industries they operate in.
