A simple definition
POS stands for Point of Sale. It is the system that issues the invoice, totals it, records payment, and deducts what was sold from inventory in the same moment. In short, the heart of selling in your shop.
What it usually includes
- A sales screen to issue invoices fast.
- An item catalogue linked to prices and barcodes.
- Inventory management that tracks quantities live.
- Reports showing sales, profit and best-moving items.
- Sometimes accessories like a thermal printer and a customer display.
How it works on a normal day
You scan a product's barcode and it joins the invoice at its price, repeat until done, then record payment. Behind the scenes, what sold is deducted from stock and the day's numbers update automatically, so you see your financial picture without manual math.
From a costly device to an app in your pocket
A POS used to mean a device, software and installation. Today a phone is enough: the camera acts as the scanner, and the app runs everything above. That is how any shop in Jordan can run a professional system without hardware cost, which is exactly what Cash Dukkan offers.
