If you run a retail shop, having the right kit at your side matters, because it makes the work easier, makes paying easier for customers and lifts your sales. That piece of kit is the POS terminal — the system you sell from at the counter. There are plenty of kinds, though. You may be used to the old sort: large, complicated to operate and able to take nothing but cash. Today there are terminals that do everything, take payment several ways, are easy to use and have a system built around the person using it. If you are wondering how to choose a terminal that will actually lift your sales, here is everything you need to know about choosing a POS terminal for your retail shop.
The POS terminal that is right for your retail shop should have the following:
It takes payment several ways
Thailand is moving steadily towards being a cashless society, and plenty of customers would rather scan a QR code than hand over cash. So the POS terminal you use as your till should accept more than just notes and coins.
Qashier's POS terminals have two screens, so the QR code appears on the customer-facing side once the sale is rung up and the customer can simply scan to pay. That makes life easier for them, which makes them more likely to come back, and it brings in the customers who never carry cash.It has the features you actually need
A POS terminal with a good range of genuinely useful features will earn you more. Managing the products in your shop, for instance, means you never miss the chance to add a new line and sell more, while being able to change promotions easily keeps your selling smooth and efficient. Qashier POS has all of that, along with plenty of other features to support your shop.It is easy to use, uncomplicated, and comes with support
If a POS terminal is new to you, you may feel a bit uneasy about it. But there are terminals now with big screens that are easy to tap, clear Thai menus and steps that are not complicated, so you can get on with the job.
Qashier's POS terminals for retail shops also come with a customer service team behind them, which keeps your selling smooth — when you are unsure about something, being able to ask a specialist means the selling never stops.It connects online and works in the cloud
Being connected and cloud-based means your important information lives on the internet — products, sales and everything else. If something unexpected happens to the terminal, the data is safe, and you can work and process transactions from any device.
In other words, a cloud-capable POS terminal lets you log into the system from any device, wherever you happen to be. Qashier POS works that way: with a single user account you can add and edit information through QashierHQ from a computer, whenever it suits you.
The POS terminal you choose for a retail shop should look good and look modern
Retail shops sometimes end up with an older POS terminal that isn't much to look at, which gets in the way of the counter or shop design you wanted. A terminal with a modern design takes that problem away, leaves you free to design the shop as you like, and can even do some work for your brand. Qashier's two-screen POS terminals, for example, do more than help with payment as described above — they can display your shop's logo, so customers remember your brand better. And once you have chosen the terminal for your retail shop, don't forget to look for the POS software to go with it, the kind that backs your selling up properly, so you can run the shop efficiently and sell more.
