What Is a POS Cash Register? A Guide to Choosing the Right Device for Your Business

A POS cash register combines a cash register and a card payment terminal in a single new-generation electronic cash register (ÖKC). It issues the sales receipt, accepts card payments and sends sales data electronically to the Turkish Revenue Administration (GİB). Most businesses that sell at retail are required to use one.

What does a POS cash register do?

• Takes cash and card sales on a single device,
• Issues receipts automatically and keeps records compliant with regulations,
• Produces end-of-day (Z) reports and sales reports,
• Works with your sales software and barcode scanner to speed up checkout.

Mobile or desktop?

Mobile (handheld) POS cash registers suit restaurants and cafés that take payment at the table, businesses that collect payment on delivery and field sales teams. Desktop models are more comfortable at busy checkouts in markets, stores and retail outlets.

What to look for when choosing a device

1. Certified device

The device must be a GİB-certified new-generation electronic cash register. Buying and installing it through an authorised service ensures the fiscal seal and activation are done correctly.

2. Bank applications

Check that your bank's application is available on the device. Devices that support several bank applications give you more flexibility.

3. Sales software integration

If you use sales software at the checkout (fast sales, stock, table ordering), sending the amount from the software to the device automatically both speeds things up and prevents wrong amounts being entered.

4. Barcode scanner and peripherals

In markets and stores, compatibility with barcode scanners, scales and customer displays matters. Have your existing hardware checked before installation.

5. Connectivity and battery

Wi‑Fi, mobile data and wired connection options, and battery life on mobile models, decide whether you can work without interruption on busy days.

6. Service and support

Fast repair service and a replacement device when something breaks are as important as the device itself, so your sales never stop.
