India is rapidly becoming a digital nation. Today, more people prefer digital payments to cash ones. It’s one of many reasons why debit cards, credit cards, prepaid cards, UPI, digital wallets, and more are becoming the way of life. Contrary to popular belief, this is not limited to urban areas. With mobile and internet penetration growing, even people in rural areas are moving towards digital payments. So, if you are a store owner, what does this mean for you?

To accommodate all kinds of customers and their preferences, you need a payment acceptance medium, and this is where Point of Sale (POS) terminals come into play.

What is a POS Terminal?


A POS terminal is a small electronic tool that retail stores have at their billing counters to enable easy processing of customer payments. Traditionally, it conducts all card payments and transfers the money from the customer’s account to the store’s account. It also records all transaction details that can help the owner keep track of sales, tallying accounts, paying tax, etc. 

POS terminals are convenient as they can process transactions faster, ensure accuracy, eliminate the tedious task of counting cash and returning the change, and most importantly, give the customer the power to choose how they want to pay.

The Emergence of New-age POS Terminals


With advancements in technology, POS terminals have evolved to process not just card payments but all kinds of new-age digital payments. They also accept payments via modes such as UPI and digital wallets. 

Here’s how it works. When you deploy a POS terminal, your merchant outlet will be defined by a unique Merchant ID (MID). Each outlet can have multiple floors or billing counters, and the merchant may need a POS terminal at each counter. Each POS terminal is identified using a Terminal ID (TID). For example, if you have two outlets for your store in different locations, you will need two unique MIDs. If both stores have three billing counters each, you will need six TIDs.
