Point Of Sale

Point of sale refers to a place in which credit card transactions are carried out in the presence of the card holder. The place can be anything ranging from a retail store to a checkout counter. After the purchase of the products, the credit card of the purchaser is read magnetically. Then the cardholder's signature is also obtained as an assurance against the transaction. This is often reckoned as the most secured form of credit card commerce.

This term is also used at times, in connection with hardware and software for checkouts and variable locations with wireless systems. POS developed from the mechanical cash register of the first half of the 20th century. The most common examples for this kind of register are NCR registers and Burroughs registers. These registers were used to record data on journal tapes or paper tape and more efforts should be taken to transcribe the information into the merchant's accounting system.
