What Is a Point of Sale (POS) System?

How does a POS system work?

When a cashier scans a barcode or searches for a product, the POS adds it to the invoice, applies tax and discounts, takes the payment and updates your stock instantly.

Every transaction is saved, so you can review sales, cash registers and customers in reports whenever you need.

What can a POS system do for your business?

  • Increase sales with faster, smoother checkout
  • Show exactly how much inventory you need to buy
  • Help you understand your customers and best-selling products
  • Track employees and monitor sales from anywhere

Which businesses need a POS system?

Retail shops, pharmacies, clothing stores, supermarkets, restaurants and cafés, and service providers who book appointments all benefit from a POS. If you sell something every day, a POS saves time and prevents mistakes.
