What is a POS?

A point-of-sale system is when the customers check for products online, walk to the store and pick out an item from the stand. This system is the hardware and software that can enable a business to sell its products. Earlier, the point-of-sale system used to refer to cash registers at physical stores. Now, it is entirely digital, a customer just needs a POS app and a device that can be connected to the internet.
