Point of Sale & Payments

Hardware and software that enable smooth consumer transactions

What is Point of Sale and Payments?

Point of Sale, or POS as it is more commonly abbreviated, refers to the capturing of data and customer payment information at a physical location when goods or services are bought and sold. The POS transaction is captured using a variety of devices which include computers, electronic cash registers or ECR's, optical and barcode scanners, credit card terminals, magnetic card readers, and cash drawers.

Payments refers to the variety of methods consumers use—and merchants collect—payment for goods and services. These involve several components including: hardware devices, software platforms, payment gateways, and payment processors.

POS & Payments-Related Podcast Conversations

 


One Size Fits All POS?

Every retailer or restaurant has differing needs or industry-specific concerns, yet cheap or “free” POS providers will suggest that any setup will do. Auto-Star’s Josh Wintoniak joins us this week to dispel that myth and help explain how to talk to end-users, why back-of-the-house is an essential part of the conversation.


Retail POS Survey Deep Dive

In connection with our recently published findings on BlueStar Nation, we’re doing a deep dive into the survey results from over 80 retail owners about the technology their business uses every day. The answers were often surprising, but they tell an important story about what VARs can actually do to win more business and conquer POS inertia.


Selling Payments to SMB

Chris Lenz from North American Bancard joins us to weigh in on the topic and help us push that conversation forward with SMB retailers. How has the discussion changed during his time in the industry? What did we learn during the pandemic as businesses were forced to accept other payment types? 

Point of Sale Product Categories:

There are a variety of product categories and use cases broadly covered by the term digital signage, including:

  • Payment devices
  • All-in-One POS Computers
  • Receipt Printers
  • Cash Drawers
  • Barcode Scanners
  • Self-checkout kiosks
