Businesses Increasingly Leave Traditional Cash Registers Behind


Retriever Merchant Solutions is an established Chicago-area payment processing service with more than two decades of experience growing with the industry. A leader in e-commerce and omni-channel retailing, Retriever Merchant Solutions helps companies bring their points of sale into the 21st century.

While some may worry that the advent of online retail giants like Amazon will lead to the demise of brick-and-mortar retailers, the data shows otherwise. In fact, more than 90 percent of retail shopping still occurs in physical stores, according to retailcustomerexperience.com. However, businesses must adapt to the changing payment processing landscape in order to stay competitive and offer the best customer service experience. 

Traditional cash registers are becoming a thing of the past. Mobile point of sale (MPOS) solutions not only make shopping easier for customers through quick payments and e-receipts, MPOS technology such as the Poynt countertop terminal allows business owners to have inventory and accounting information at their fingertips as well. Another big bonus of the system is included in the name. The mobile aspect allows retailers to sell to customers anywhere inside the store – and even outside the store at events like outdoor festivals.
