Why owners look for an NRS alternative

  • You want to choose your own card processor
  • Your staff read Urdu, Arabic, Hindi or Korean faster than English
  • You want an online store and a managed website on the same bill
  • You run stores in the UAE or Pakistan as well as the US

If you are happy with NRS processing and English-only screens, NRS remains a solid c-store system.

NRS alternative questions

What is the best NRS alternative for a convenience store?

The best NRS alternative depends on why you are leaving. If you want published prices, your own card processor, staff screens in Urdu, Arabic, Hindi, Korean or Spanish, and lottery, scan data and ID prompts built in, GetConvenienceStorePOS is built for exactly that.

How hard is it to leave NRS?

The data part is easy: export products and customers to CSV and import them. The contract part depends on your NRS agreement; read the notice period and any lease or processing terms first.

Will I lose my sales history?

Keep your old system's final reports for your records. You can import past sales if you need them in the new reports, but most stores start fresh.

Is the import really free?

Yes, on every plan, including the trial. So is a one-hour remote setup session.

Can I try before I cancel?

Yes. The 14-day trial needs no card. Run both systems for a shift before you decide.
