The mobile point-of-sale (MPOS) is a smartphone, tablet or a dedicated wireless device that can perform the functions of a cash register by allowing a merchant to accept payments from customers without being confined to a single location by using an internet connection, an application downloaded to the device, and a credit card reader enabling the device to accept cards. A mobile POS system is ideal for businesses such as food trucks, home and repair services, market vendors, etc. to take payment from credit cards, mobile wallets, NFC payments on the go.
Lower costs
The implementation of MPOS solutions costs very less compared to traditional ePOS systems. The total cost is actually the price of the mobile device, the device for card payments, as well as the online MPOS software, which is leased on a monthly basis.
