POS Hardware FAQs
POS hardware is the physical equipment of a point-of-sale system, such as terminals, card readers, barcode scanners and receipt printers. It lets you take card payments at the counter, keep sales records and print receipts. Tap Simple offers a cash discount program, and its devices work together through Payments Hub. When you are ready, you can apply online.
The hardware you need depends on your business: a card reader or terminal for payments, plus a receipt printer or barcode scanner if you sell products. Kitchen printers or self-service kiosks suit some industries. The Tap Simple Smart Terminal combines a touchscreen, card reader, receipt printer and a rear camera for barcode scanning in one device. The comparison chart above shows how the three Tap Simple devices differ.
Choose POS hardware by looking at how you take payments, your business size, how many transactions you run and whether you move around. Cloud-based systems often need less bulky hardware, while traditional setups may need several parts. Think about how much you want to pay for your transactions as well. Apply now and compare the three Tap Simple devices to find your fit.
Wireless POS hardware is more flexible and mobile, which suits restaurants, retail stores and event sales. Wired hardware can be steadier in a busy place that needs a constant connection. The right choice depends on where you take payments. If you move around, a wireless device like the Smart Terminal or the 3-in-1 Reader may fit. You can also start accepting payments with the device that matches your setup.
Regular care keeps POS hardware running smoothly: clean the card reader and scanner, keep the software updated and check power connections. If something stops working, restart the device, then contact your provider for help. Tap Simple’s team can help with your hardware, using the email and phone shown on the pricing page.
