Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about the Loan Unit Program
How long can I keep the loan unit?
The loan unit is provided temporarily until your original hardware is repaired or replaced and returned to you. It must be returned promptly once your primary unit is back in service.
What if the loan unit also malfunctions?
If the loan unit experiences an issue, please contact Customer Care immediately. We will troubleshoot and arrange for a replacement if necessary, following standard warranty procedures for loan units.
Where can I find more information about the POS Swap Service?
The POS Swap Service is a premium offering for eligible merchants that provides on-site delivery, installation, and collection during a warranty claim.
Can I request a specific model of loan unit?
While we strive to provide a suitable replacement, the exact model of the loan unit may vary based on availability. StoreHub guarantees a unit that will enable your core POS operations.
What if I lose the loan unit or it gets stolen?
Merchants are responsible for the loan unit during their possession. Loss or theft should be reported immediately to StoreHub Customer Care and may result in charges for the full replacement cost of the unit.
What is the difference between the Loan Unit Program and the POS Swap Service?
The Loan Unit Program ensures you receive a temporary replacement unit to keep your business running during a warranty claim. The POS Swap Service is a premium offering that goes a step further by including on-site delivery, installation of your replacement/loan unit, and collection of your faulty unit in a single, convenient visit. The POS Swap Service provides an enhanced level of convenience and is available for eligible merchants.
Do I need to transfer my data to the loan unit?
StoreHub POS systems are cloud-based, meaning your data (inventory, sales, etc.) is typically synchronized and stored securely in the cloud. However, it is always recommended to perform a data backup of the device before returning it. Our Customer Care can guide you on setting up the loan unit to access your cloud data.
Does StoreHub ever offer permanent loan unit replacements?
In very special circumstances and at StoreHub’s sole discretion, we may offer to provide the loan unit as a permanent replacement for your faulty unit. This decision is made on a case-by-case basis and would always require your explicit agreement. This is an exception to the standard temporary loan unit program, which requires the loan unit to be returned once your original unit is repaired or replaced.
