POS system (Point of Sale)

A POS system is where in-person sales happen — the till, card terminal, and software that rings up items, takes payment, and updates inventory. Modern POS is connected: the same sale updates stock, accounting, and the online store in real time, so the shop floor and the website stop disagreeing about what's available. For hybrid retail, that integration is the whole point.
