A point of sale, or POS, is a system used to process transactions and accept payments in person.

With Stocko POS, retail businesses get all the tools they need to manage daily operations, accept payments anywhere, and build relationships to create customer loyalty. But the benefits of Stocko go beyond your retail store. With a powerful ecommerce solution also included, Stocko unifies in-store and online sales to bridge the gaps between your website, social media, and POS system. This allows you to sync inventory everywhere you sell and offer seamless shopping options for customers like local pickup, local delivery, ship-to-home, and email carts.

There are various types of POS systems, each catering to different industries and business needs. Here are some common types of POS systems:

Mobile POS - These systems use mobile devices such as tablets or smartphones as the primary interface for processing transactions. They are popular among businesses with mobile or temporary setups, like food trucks or pop-up shops.

Cloud-Based POS Systems - These systems store data in the cloud, allowing businesses to access information remotely. Cloud-based POS systems are flexible, scalable, and often come with additional features such as inventory management, employee tracking, and analytics.

Integrated POS Systems - These systems integrate with other business software, such as accounting, inventory management, and customer relationship management (CRM) systems. Integration helps businesses manage various aspects of their operations more efficiently.

E-commerce POS Systems - Specifically designed for online businesses, these POS systems facilitate online transactions, manage inventory, and track customer data. They are essential for businesses that operate both online and offline.

Retail POS Systems - Tailored for retail environments, these systems often include features like inventory management, sales reporting, and customer relationship tools. They help retailers optimise their operations and improve customer experience.
