Buying guide: POS Equipment
What a POS setup includes
A typical system has a terminal or tablet, a receipt printer, a barcode scanner, a cash drawer, a customer display and a card payment device. Hardware has to work with your POS software, so check which devices the software supports and which interfaces they use, such as USB, serial, Ethernet or Bluetooth. A receipt printer that does not use the right command set or a scanner that does not match your barcode format will cause problems. Test every device with your software before ordering in volume.
Payment and fiscal rules
Card payment terminals are subject to industry security standards and to approval by the payment networks and the acquirer you use. Buying terminals from the wrong channel can leave you with devices that cannot be activated, and tampered devices are a known fraud risk, so buy payment hardware only from reliable sources and check that seals and packaging are intact. Many countries also have fiscal rules for cash registers and receipts, requiring certified fiscal devices or software that reports sales to tax authorities. These vary, so check the rules for your market before buying a till. Radio-capable devices need CE, FCC or other local approvals.
Hardware quality and durability
POS hardware runs all day. Check build quality, screen type, spill protection and the rated life of printer heads and cash drawer mechanisms. Thermal receipt printers use heat-sensitive paper, and paper width and core size must match. Scanners differ in how well they read damaged codes or phone screens, and in range. Choose laser, imaging or 2D models according to what you will scan. Cash drawers differ in the number of note and coin compartments and in how they connect to the printer.
Consumables and spares
Thermal paper rolls, labels, ribbons and batteries are recurring purchases and give better margins than the hardware. Thermal paper may contain chemicals regulated in some markets, so ask about the specification. Keep spares for critical items, since a failed printer can stop a store.
Margins and support
Hardware margins are modest, and resellers often earn more by offering installation, configuration and support. Warranty and replacement turnaround matter, because downtime is costly to customers. Ask whether a replacement is sent in advance.
What to ask a supplier
- Which POS software and operating systems are the drivers tested with?
- Which interfaces does each device support?
- Is the device approved for my country's payment and fiscal requirements?
- What is the warranty and the replacement process?
- Are paper rolls and other consumables available in the sizes I need?
- Are payment devices sealed and sourced directly from authorized channels?
Frequently asked questions
How do I check hardware compatibility?
Ask which software and operating systems the drivers are tested with, and test a sample against your own setup before ordering.
Can I buy payment terminals from any supplier?
No, terminals must be approved by your payment provider and sourced from a trusted channel, since tampered units are a fraud risk. Confirm with your acquirer first.
Do cash registers need fiscal certification?
Many countries require certified fiscal devices or reporting. Check the rules for your market before buying.
Where is the margin in POS?
Hardware margins are modest, while consumables, installation and support earn more. Reliable warranty replacement matters to customers.
