What to Expect When You Get Started with ARK Integrated Payments

August 11, 2025

It’s never too early to start preparing for the holiday season and there’s no better time to streamline operations with a powerful and reliable POS system.  Whether you are getting ready to open a new storefront, just looking to upgrade outdated tech, or wanting to expand to a second location, ARK Integrated Payments is here to make the transition as seamless as possible. 

Here’s exactly what to expect when you partner with us to get your POS system up and running.

Initial Consultation: We Learn Your Business Inside and Out

Every successful setup starts with a good conversation.  During your initial consultation our team takes the time to understand your business model, operations, and goals.  Are you a quick service restaurant that needs really quick order input? A boutique retailer looking to manage inventory and customer loyalty? A bar that needs detailed tip reporting and tab management?

No matter what you specialize in, we recommend the POS system setup that best aligns with your workflow.  From hardware requirements to software functionality, we customize every solution to your needs, not just a one-size-fits-all package. 

System Setup and Customization: Built Just for You

Once we’ve mapped out your ideal configuration, we move into setup and customization.  Our team handles the complete installation of your POS system hardware, including terminals, printers, card readers, and any peripherals you need. 

But we don’t stop at hardware.  We’ll also work with you to:

  • Build your menu or product catalog
  • Configure pricing and taxes
  • Set up employee logins and permissions
  • Integrate with your payment processor
  • Customize screen layouts and workflows

Whether you need one terminal or a full multi station setup, your POS system is built to fit your operations like a glove.

Training and Support: We Make It Easy to Learn

A new POS system should empower your team, not overwhelm them.  That’s why we offer hands-on training to your staff’s roles. Whether it’s in-person training at your location or a remote session, we walk through every feature, from ringing up a sale to running end of day reports. 

You’ll also get access to user guides, tutorial videos, and a knowledgeable support team that’s always ready to help.  We make sure your team feels confident before your go live day ever arrives.

Go Live Day: We’re Right There with You

Go live day is exciting, and we’re with you every step of the way.  On the day your new POS system goes live, our team is available to provide on-site or virtual assistance, guaranteeing a smooth launch with minimal disruption. 

Expect real time troubleshooting, performance checks, and extra support as your staff starts using the system with customers.  It’s our ultimate goal to make sure your launch feels effortless and stress-free.

Ongoing Support: We Don’t Disappear After Setup

Your business doesn’t sleep, and neither do we.  After your POS system is live, ARK Integrated Payments continues to provide reliable service all around the clock.  Whether it’s a technical issue or a quick how-to question, you can reach our support any day.

Plus, our systems are always changing.  We consistently provide updates, new features, and enhancements to guarantee your POS system stays ahead of the crowd, and your business stays competitive.
