What is a Point of Sale(POS) Machine?

A POS machine is also known as a point of purchase. It is a device used to complete a retail transaction. The POS machine computes the amount owed by the customer, displays the amount payable, and generates the invoice for the customer. The invoice generated by the Point of sale machine is an indication for making the payment. Payment is made with the customer's debit or credit card.
