POS Hardware

Point of Sale (POS) hardware is the physical equipment used in the transaction process between a customer and business at the point where goods or services are purchased. This hardware typically includes components such as cash registers, credit card readers, barcode scanners, receipt printers, and touch screen terminals. Modern POS systems may also integrate mobile devices and tablets to enhance flexibility and mobility in processing sales. These devices work in tandem with POS software to streamline operations, manage inventory, and provide detailed sales analytics, to enhance the overall efficiency and customer experience at a business. Consider the types of payments you want to accept and how you want to design the checkout experience. GoDaddy hardware (Smart Terminals) comes with preinstalled software and can be used out-of-the-box.

When choosing point of sale hardware, there are a few key factors to consider. The system should offer secure payment processing capabilities for all the payment methods your customers use, including contactless and mobile payments. It should also include features to help you efficiently manage transactions, sales, and orders. If your customers would appreciate an option to order online for in-store pickup, ensure the POS hardware supports this. Consider where you typically take payments — do you need a countertop terminal or POS equipment to accept payments anywhere in your establishment? Connectivity features like Wi-Fi and offline payments mode can enable payments anytime, anywhere. GoDaddy Point of Sale hardware allows you to accept diverse payment types, streamline processes, and deliver exceptional checkout experiences for your customers.

GoDaddy Smart Terminals offer more than just basic credit card payment acceptance. Our Point of Sale hardware allows you to accept a wide range of payment types including contactless and mobile payments, as well as HSA/FSA cards. The dual screen on the Smart Terminal makes it easy for customers to tip and sign. In addition to being secure and reliable, our terminals integrate with other aspects of your business so you can manage your business operations from one centralized platform. By implementing modern POS hardware technology, you can provide a seamless payments experience for customers and reduce time spent on administrative tasks.

Currently, you need to purchase the POS hardware (leasing options may become available in the future).
