What Is a POS Terminal? 11 Top Picks for 2027

A point-of-sale (POS) terminal is where a retail business processes payments, builds customer relationships, and gathers the sales insights that help the brand grow. Today’s POS terminals do far more than ring up sales: the right system helps you understand customers, manage inventory across channels, and make smarter decisions based on data insights.

Grand View Research estimates the POS terminal market at $133.3 billion in 2026, rising to $226.8 billion by 2033.

This guide covers what POS terminals are, their essential features, what they cost, how to choose one, and the best POS terminals for retailers.

What is a POS terminal?

A POS terminal is a hardware device that runs software to accept payments, manage inventory and customer data, and generate sales reports. It simplifies checkout and supports a smooth customer experience.

“Point of sale” refers both to where a sale happens and to the software-and-hardware combination. A POS terminal is also called a POS system, or just a POS.

POS terminals have several key components:

• A smart device, like a tablet or smartphone, that runs the POS software
• A barcode scanner paired to the terminal
• A payment terminal, or card reader, that processes payment methods including credit and debit cards, gift cards, and mobile payments
• POS software that ties these tools together

POS terminal vs. POS system vs. card reader

People often use these terms interchangeably, but there are differences:

• A POS terminal is a device that processes card payments; modern versions often provide full POS system capabilities.
• A POS system is a complete hardware-and-software setup for managing sales and customer interactions.
• A card reader is a simpler device for accepting card payments, common among smaller and on-the-go businesses.

Types of POS terminals

There are two main types of POS terminals, countertop and mobile, plus four other common setups: tablet and cloud-based systems, integrated customer displays, self-service kiosks or unattended terminals, and Tap to Pay.

Most stores use one or more types of POS terminals, and the right mix for your business depends on factors like:

• Whether you run a permanent store, a pop-up stall, or another setup
• Your store layout, such as mobile terminals on the floor or a fixed counter
• Whether your products need hands-on help or customers can self-serve

Here’s what each POS terminal type does:

Countertop POS terminals

A countertop terminal, or cash wrap terminal, is the setup most people picture at a checkout counter: a screen (often a tablet), a card reader, a barcode scanner, a cash drawer (though some stores have phased this out), and a receipt printer. Depending on store size, a business may have one or more POS terminals. Countertop POS terminals are stationary.

Mobile POS terminals

Mobile POS systems run on small, handheld devices. They have the same features as a cash wrap terminal but without a cash drawer; you can still take cash if you keep a register somewhere in the store. Mobile terminals let staff help customers on the floor while they shop, give recommendations, and look up inventory without interrupting the experience.

Tablet and cloud-based POS systems

Tablet and cloud-based systems use a tablet or smart device as the checkout screen, connected to payment readers, barcode scanners, cash drawers, receipt printers, and other peripherals. Shopify POS integrates with all of these, and you can buy hardware piece by piece or as complete kits. These POS terminals can be used as mobile or countertop setups.

Integrated customer-display POS terminals

Integrated customer-display terminals combine checkout and customer-facing payment flows. Shopify POS Terminal, for example, pairs the POS Terminal Reader with the POS Terminal Dock so the reader doubles as a customer display in Customer Display Mode.

Self-service kiosks and unattended POS terminals

Self-service kiosks and unattended POS terminals let customers complete part or all of checkout without a cashier. PwC reported that 55% of consumers used self-checkout while holiday shopping, and 27% used in-store navigation kiosks to find products and check availability.

Tap to Pay POS setups

Tap to Pay setups let eligible businesses accept contactless payments on a compatible smartphone, with no separate card reader.

Shopify Tap to Pay on iPhone lets store owners accept contactless debit and credit cards, Apple Pay, and other digital wallets with an iPhone and the Shopify POS app.

It stands up to high-traffic environments, too. Curtis Ulrich, director of ecommerce at Aviator Nation, says, “We’ve processed upward of 2,000 to 3,000 transactions a day at these music festivals with a card reader and an iPhone.”

What is a POS terminal used for?

A POS terminal simplifies the sales process, letting a business process and manage transactions wherever a customer buys. Functions vary by system. The following use cases are the most common:

Customer profiles and clienteling

A POS system can be a strong clienteling tool for building customer relationships, as it helps unify customer data to personalize the shopping experience. Shopify POS, for instance, has flexible clienteling features that let staff see customer preferences, past purchases, and loyalty points at checkout.

Shopify POS customer profiles can store:

• Contact information
• Purchase history
• Preferences
• Metafields
• Marketing preferences
• Customer gift card information

According to Q4 2024 Shopify POS data (vendor-reported, not independently verified), brands using Shopify POS reach an 80% in-store email capture rate, a common first step for building customer relationships. With that data, associates can recommend relevant products, follow up with personalized offers, and keep interactions consistent across channels.

Home furnishings retailer Jenni Kayne is one example. Their customers shop across channels and often take months to decide on big purchases. Migrating to Shopify unified their customer profiles, giving associates the insights to guide shoppers through the buying journey.

Jenni Kayne’s Shopify migration let the brand:

• Offer personalized omnichannel experiences
• Increase shopper engagement
• Build deeper customer relationships
• Help employees deliver better service

Payment processing

POS terminals accept multiple payment methods: cash, credit and debit cards, contactless payments like mobile wallets and Tap to Pay, and NFC-based methods like Apple Pay and Google Pay. They also communicate with the financial institutions involved to authorize transactions and move funds from the customer’s bank to your merchant account.

Babylist is one retailer benefiting from Shopify’s payment processing. As they grew, they needed a POS that could unify disjointed inventory data before opening their first permanent store. Shopify POS connected Babylist’s online and in-store experiences and let staff take payments quickly.

Speed and omnichannel access impact the customer experience. As Si-Si McCracken of Babylist says, “Shopify POS is a very simple system, and being so mobile and taking payment quickly is what guests are looking for. Being able to start guests’ profiles and look up previous transactions is key to a seamless experience when a guest returns, or a gift receiver stops in for an exchange or return. Today’s shoppers expect that type of functionality.”

Inventory management

A POS terminal stores your product catalog and updates inventory automatically when a sale is made. To check availability, scan the product barcode or search by name, SKU, or keyword.

Without automated tracking across channels, disjointed stock causes immediate friction. Mandalyn Renicker, owner and chief bike lady at Offbeat Bikes, experienced this firsthand: “If a bike or a certain part had just sold out at the shop, our online shoppers weren’t necessarily aware of that. That led to us overselling items and having to manually cancel orders and issue refunds,” she says.

Some advanced systems, like Shopify POS, update inventory levels in real time as transactions occur. According to Q4 2024 Shopify POS data, this use case can save store owners more than 10 hours a month on inventory management with Shopify POS.

Data and reporting

Reporting is another way POS terminals support operations. A POS tracks data on every transaction and product, revealing which items sell best, when the store is busiest, and which staff make the most sales. Use these analytics for inventory management, sales analysis, accounting and tax reporting, and faster decisions.

Printing or emailing receipts

POS terminals can print receipts or send them digitally by email or text once a transaction completes. For example, Shopify offers POS email as a feature within the POS system.

Staff permissions and scheduling

Some POS terminals assign staff roles and integrate with scheduling tools that feed real-time sales data into shift planning, which helps managers forecast busy periods and staff scheduling accordingly. Staff roles can also set permissions for what each employee can do, such as reserving refunds above a threshold or custom discounts for managers.

Loyalty and rewards

A POS terminal with built-in loyalty software lets retailers reward their best customers. These systems track shopping preferences and purchase data (who buys what, and how often), so retailers can design loyalty programs that build a repeat customer base.

Emailing carts to customers

Adding items to a shopper’s cart is simple: scan a barcode or search the POS, and the system calculates the subtotal and total after fees, discounts, and tax. Shopify POS includes an email cart feature that lets a retailer build a cart and email the shopper an itemized list with a link to the store’s online checkout. The shopper completes checkout online, and the transaction appears as a completed order in Shopify.

Bared Footwear previously juggled multiple online and POS systems to sync inventory, which forced them to close stores during online sales.

As Alexandra McNab, their chief operating officer, points out, that friction impacted both sides of the business. “We had no way of making sure that we didn’t oversell without shutting down a sales channel or reducing the amount of stock available to the online customer, which was really frustrating operationally. It was also a really negative customer experience—we wanted to be able to welcome our customers to our stores during sales.”

Switching to Shopify POS fixed those operational problems and improved the customer experience through email carts. Associates can send pre-loaded carts to customers’ emails, letting them shop on their own terms while keeping in-store and online sales connected.

“These fulfillment options wouldn’t be possible if our store inventory, orders, and checkout wasn’t linked to our online store checkout like it is with Shopify,” says Alexandra. “It’s a much better experience for the customer and helps secure sales that may have otherwise been lost.”

How a point-of-sale (POS) terminal works

A POS terminal turns a shopper’s items and payment into an approved sale record: the software calculates the total, the payment terminal captures card or wallet details, the processor requests authorization, and the POS updates orders, receipts, and inventory.

Here’s each POS terminal step in more detail:

Checkout

A shopper brings an item to the counter. The cashier scans its barcode or looks it up in the POS by category, name, or SKU.

Payment collection

The terminal calculates the total, including fees and sales tax. The customer chooses a payment method (e.g., credit card, cash, mobile payment) and inserts, swipes, or taps their card or phone, or hands over cash. Modern terminals accept EMV chip cards, contactless cards, NFC mobile wallets, and magstripe fallback, where supported.

Payment authorization

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) governs card payments and applies to any organization that stores, processes, or transmits cardholder data. For digital payments, the card reader captures the card or wallet details and sends them to the payment processor. The terminal then sends an authorization request to the acquiring bank (the merchant’s bank) through the payment gateway.

The acquiring bank forwards the request to the card network (for example, Visa or Mastercard), which sends it to the issuing bank (the customer’s bank). The issuing bank verifies the details and available funds, then approves or declines. That decision travels back through the card network and acquiring bank to the terminal.

Completion of sale

If approved, the terminal prints or sends a receipt on request, and the cash drawer opens for any change. If declined, it shows an error and the cashier asks for another payment method. Behind the scenes, the software logs the transaction, deducts the item from inventory, updates stock, and feeds the data into reporting.

Settlement

At the end of the day, the business runs a batch settlement: the POS sends all approved transactions to the acquiring bank, which processes the payments and transfers funds to the merchant’s account.

How much does a POS terminal cost?

A POS terminal’s total cost includes the device, accessories, software, payment processing, support, warranties, and setup time. Compare costs these together rather than by the sticker price alone.

Hardware and accessory costs

Hardware can include the payment terminal, tablet or touchscreen, barcode scanner, receipt printer, cash drawer, customer display, stands, and network accessories. Shopify’s POS terminal costs $349 (at the time of publishing) and offers peripherals such as cash drawers, scanners, and printers at added cost.

Software subscriptions and payment processing fees

Hardware is mostly an upfront cost, aside from maintenance and replacements. You also pay for the software that runs it and for payment processing, which both add up. Software pricing depends on your hardware provider; Shopify’s POS software runs from $29 per month to $2,300 per month (billed yearly). Processing fees vary by provider, card type, transaction type, and contract, so compare them alongside hardware and software costs.

Support, warranties, and setup costs

Setup, ongoing support, and warranties round out the total, and they vary by service level. A basic package may include only a short warranty and limited setup help. According to Q4 2024 Shopify POS data, Shopify POS has a 22% lower total cost of ownership than other systems in the measured comparison set.

That aligns with Shopify’s POS market report, in which EY analyzed more than 3,800 business records and survey responses from more than 600 retail organizations and agencies; businesses using Shopify POS reported 22% better total cost of ownership and 20% faster implementation than the surveyed market set.

POS terminal hardware and software: what you need

A POS terminal needs software to run checkout and hardware to capture payments and complete the in-store workflow. Some stores use one compact device; others pair a tablet, card reader, scanner, receipt printer, cash drawer, and customer display.

Here’s what each POS terminal component does:

POS software

POS software connects the checkout screen to products, inventory, orders, customer profiles, receipts, staff permissions, and reporting. Shopify’s point-of-sale app, for example, unifies online and retail stores and supports:

• Payments
• Customer profiles
• Inventory
• Orders
• Gift cards
• Receipts
• Returns
• Split payments
• Integrated hardware
• Local pickup

The app also brings in POS Pro features if you subscribe to that add-on.

Payment hardware

The main piece of payment hardware is the POS terminal itself, which varies in size and function. Countertop and mobile terminals can add features like a customer display, while simple card readers can take card payments with a light or sound confirmation.

Peripherals and network connections

Other common peripherals include barcode scanners, receipt printers, cash drawers, customer displays, stands, and card readers. Shopify POS works with many of these, sold piece by piece or as kits in the Shopify store. Peripherals make completing the sale easier or more flexible, such as accepting both cash and card.

These components rely on a stable, shared network. Some, like the terminal, work wirelessly, but a wired connection is more stable. Shopify’s POS Hub can connect all your hardware to the same wired network.

How to choose the best POS terminal for your business

The right point-of-sale terminal matches the checkout setup to how the store sells: fixed counter, sales floor, pop-up, event, self-service, or multiple locations. From there, compare payment methods, inventory sync, hardware compatibility, offline behavior, POS security, support, and total cost.

Here’s how those factors break down:

Payment methods

U.S. in-store payments are still card-heavy, but mobile wallets now hold a meaningful share. Worldpay’s 2026 Global Payments Report says credit cards made up 40% of U.S. in-store POS transaction value in 2025, debit cards 28%, and digital or mobile wallets 17%.

Choose a terminal that accepts all major debit and credit cards, digital payments like Google Pay and Apple Pay, and contactless options like Tap to Pay. Many terminals also support gift cards or splitting payment across methods.

Fees and total cost

POS terminals combine software and hardware, so cost varies.

The main POS cost considerations are:

• Hardware
• Monthly software subscriptions
• Card-present rates
• Keyed or manual-entry rates
• Optional cellular or connectivity costs
• Accessory costs
• Support fees

To keep fees manageable, choose a provider with integrated payment processing. Shopify Payments, for example, is standard on all Shopify POS plans with no sign-up or setup fees. Pricing varies by provider, so verify fee structures before deciding.

Integrations and inventory sync

Running separate systems for your store and website adds complexity and can hurt the customer experience. A better approach is a POS built on the same foundation as your other operations, where inventory, customer data, and payments work together.

From there, you can integrate specialized tools, like:

• Accounting apps for financial reporting
• Scheduling tools for staff management
• Industry-specific features for your needs

That approach keeps core operations on one platform while letting you add functionality as you grow.

Hardware compatibility

A good POS syncs with the hardware you need: barcode scanners, card readers, receipt printers, and more. Some systems lock retailers into proprietary, expensive setups. Shopify supports flexible hardware compatibility so you have the freedom to choose the right tools for your business.

Offline mode and flexibility

Some terminals offer an offline mode with local data storage, so you can keep selling without the internet. Offline behavior varies by provider, so check whether a terminal works offline and has security and backup measures for offline transactions.

With Shopify, offline checkout accepts cash and manual payments without a connection, and you can enable offline credit and debit card payments, subject to permissions and limits.

Security

Retail businesses handle sensitive personal and payment data. Shortlist options with current security features (end-to-end encryption, user authentication, and data tokenization) that comply with regulations, especially the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).

The FTC advises businesses that handle credit card or other sensitive financial data to use Transport Layer Security (TLS) or another secure connection to protect data in transit. Safeguarding this data protects your business from breaches and fraud.

Support and scalability

As your business grows, your POS should scale with it, so choose a provider that lets you add locations without downtime. You’ll also want ongoing software updates and occasional hardware upgrades. According to Q4 2024 Shopify POS data, Shopify POS enables up to a 5% sales uplift through operational improvements like these.
