Guide to POS Systems

Table of Contents

This guide is really just a series of articles about point of sale (POS) systems – what they are, how they work, what you need in order to have a POS system for your business, the hardware and software components, etc. The purpose of these articles is to inform people interested in learning about POS systems - whether you are looking to buy one for your business or are just doing research. Some articles assume a working knowledge of the systems, while most (including the early articles in the series) assume you are a novice to the world of POS. You can view the articles sequentially by using the next and previous buttons above, or go to any of the articles that you are interested in by clicking on the links in the table of contents display.
