POS for shops and retail

Which POS should you choose for a shop?

All the retail POS systems in this category have a thermal receipt printer and a cash drawer. What changes is the format of the equipment and the peripherals it includes.

• Modular POS. The touchscreen and the CPU are separate parts: the screen stays on the counter and the CPU can go underneath or on a shelf.
• Compact all-in-one POS. The touchscreen and the computer are a single unit, with no separate tower.
• Dual-screen POS. Compact unit with a touchscreen for the staff member and another facing the customer.

POS for shops, retail and stores

A shop POS is chosen according to how payment is taken at the counter. If you work with many barcoded items, as in a clothes shop, a shoe shop or a hardware shop, the POS with barcode scanner lets you scan the product instead of typing in the reference. If you take card payments away from the counter, the POS with card terminal comes with a portable card terminal.

For other shops, the touchscreen retail POS is the entry-level touchscreen unit, and the retail POS with card terminal lets you take card payments away from the counter. If goods are sold by weight, the right category is POS for supermarkets and food shops, with a scale.

Before buying a retail POS

• Scanner. If the shop works with barcoded items, a POS with a scanner, or one that lets you add one later, is the right choice.
• Printer. All units have a thermal receipt printer. You can also see the POS printers.
• Drawer. All include a cash drawer.
• Customer screen. If you want the customer to see a screen during payment, the option is the dual-screen POS.
• Software. The management software is not included in the price of the equipment: it is purchased separately. You can see the terms of the professional software with Verifactu.
• Connections. Modular POS systems have ports to add a barcode scanner, scale, customer display, card terminal or second drawer, depending on the model.
• Space. If the counter is small, the all-in-one and the dual-screen POS take up the space of a single unit, with no separate tower.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a touchscreen POS and a non-touch one?

The non-touch one is operated with a keyboard and mouse. The touchscreen one is operated directly on the screen. Both configurations include a receipt printer and a cash drawer.

What is the barcode scanner for?

It enters the item reference into the terminal without typing it. It comes as a handheld scanner with stand.

What does the set-up with card terminal add?

The card terminal is portable and works over 4G and Wi-Fi, so you can take card payments away from the counter. The payment processing service is not part of the pack.

What is the second screen for?

It faces the customer during payment.

What does the equipment include?

It includes the terminal, cash drawer, thermal receipt printer and cabling. The equipment is delivered assembled, with warranty. Peripherals vary by model: the POS with barcode scanner already includes the scanner. The rest is detailed on each product page.

Is the software included?

No. The management software is purchased separately from the equipment.

How long does delivery take?

UK shipping is quoted individually: the cost and delivery time depend on the equipment and the delivery address.
