What Do You Understand By A Mobile POS (mPOS) System?

Mobile POS system is like having the entire POS system on a Smartphone or tablet. It is usually done by downloading the POS application on the mobile with the help of software that it is compatible with. With the advent of mobile POS technology, both customers and retailers can prevent long queues in shopping centers making their shopping experience happy and pleasant. Restaurants these days also use the mPOS system.

How it works:

Once the entire POS application gets downloaded on the mobile phone, it works precisely like POS terminal software. Retailers will get a card reader which has to be attached to the mobile phone to allow the credit/debit card to be swiped. Optionally, a barcode reader can also be obtained from the vendor. It gives the retailer the feasibility of doing his business wherever he moves. All the customer data is present on the cloud; the mobile phone does not store any data. This ensures that customer information is encrypted and secure.
