Point of Sale Systems

What is a Point-of-Sale (POS) System?

​

A Point-of-Sale (POS) system is where your sales transactions happen. Think of it as the hub for your business, whether it's your online store or a physical cash register. Every POS system has two core components: hardware and software.POS System Hardware

 

Common POS hardware includes:

• Card readers

• Cash registers

• Receipt printers

POS System Software

POS software is the brains of the operation, recording transactions and securely transmitting debit or credit card information for payment processing.

​

Don't confuse a POS system with payment processing! While a POS system facilitates the transaction (taking payment for goods or services), payment processing is the separate process where a payment processor acts as an intermediary between your merchant account (business bank account for accepting card payments) and the customer's bank.Beyond the Sale: Advanced POS Features
