Just in the same way we choose our mobile phone specifications before buying, it is also very important to check POS specifications very well before purchasing POS devices.
When trying to purchase a mobile phone we usually like to consider a few things. A person who loves selfie photos would love a phone that has higher selfie camera specifications than a rear camera specification.
Someone who uses a lot of apps at the same time or uses a lot of heavy apps or is simply a heavy user would most likely prefer a phone with a higher RAM (random access memory) specification than what the average is.
A person who is on their phone for longer hours in a day would prefer to get a device with a bigger battery for longer usage time.
For a person who is highly interested in social class or public image would prefer phones like an iPhone or a Samsung device because this helps them identify with a particular class in the society.
And if you have a combination of many if these needs, you carefully find a device with the best specs for you within your specified budget. Budget is usually a big factor because there will always be a bigger and better phone.
In this same way, there are a lot to consider when picking a POS machine for your business.
Thankfully, with QPay POS, you do not have to worry about the budget. Just deposit 10,000 naira and spread the rest of your payment over a whole year.
Now if you are a business owner who serves many customers per time and you want to reduce the amount of failed Transactions you get, you will need to get a POS machine with a higher RAM (random access memory) than the average, from 4GB up.
If you would love to keep inventory of your products with your POS machine, then you would need to get an android POS and not an analog or mini POS.
If you run a business where you are not always there and have sales people collecting payments for you, then you would need to get a POS machine that at least prints receipts so you can use it for accounting and book keeping when you are around.
If you run your business alone and know how much comes in and goes out per time, then an analog POS or mini POS machine will serve you just great.
If you do not have steady power supply at your place of business it would be preferable for you to get a POS machine with a USB type charging port so that you can buy a power bank and charge it halfway through the day. That way you don’t have to take your POS machine home every day to charge and risk forgeting it at home or damage from excessive carrying about.
There you have it. These are all you need to consider when choosing a POS machine to buy.
