Point of Sale Systems (POS)

A point-of-sale system (POS for short) lets you ring up sales and accept payments. It’s like a cash register with brains, and it can be broken down into three basic components:

  •  Hardware – A POS has hardware that allows you to accept payments. If you’re getting a new POS system, you should make sure it accepts all forms of payment including cash, credit cards, and mobile payments. If it makes sense for your business, your POS system should also print receipts, store cash in cash drawers, and scan barcodes.
  • Software – POS software is like your command centre. At a basic level, it allows you to find items in your library and ring up sales. More robust point-of-sale solutions also feature helpful tools like sales reporting, customer engagement software, inventory management, and more.
  • Payments – POS systems also take care of routing funds to your bank account after each sale.
