POS Nation helps grocery, liquor, tobacco, and convenience store owners find POS hardware that actually fits their needs — no generic setups, no one-size-fits-all solutions, no stress.
Feeling overwhelmed by the amount of point of sale hardware on the market? We’re here to help.
At POS Nation, we help you:
Let’s start with the basics. Here are the core POS hardware components all retailers need.
This touchscreen monitor is the gateway to your POS software. Customize the layout, process transactions, check inventory, and more.
Barcode scanners eliminate manual item entry and speed up checkout. Choose from 1D, 2D, or age verification barcode scanners.
Receipt printers should be fast and quiet. Inkless thermal printers are your best option, requiring no ribbon refills and minimal maintenance.
A cash drawer keeps money secure and organized. Choose one that pops open automatically for cash transactions.
Your payment device should let you accept all payment types — including credit, debit, contactless pay, swipe, and even EBT.
These customer-facing screens show customers exactly what they’re buying and the price, helping you build trust.
Generic retail POS solutions aren’t always enough for liquor and tobacco stores. When it comes to managing cigar inventory or preventing underage alcohol sales, some providers expect you to figure it out on your own or work with a third party.
But not POS Nation. We make sure liquor and tobacco retailers have all the tools they need, including:
Age verification scanners ensure customers are of legal drinking age within seconds, helping you keep checkout lines short and protect your liquor or tobacco license.
Individual cigars don’t come labeled, so you need POS software to generate barcode labels and POS hardware to print them.
Your grocery store needs POS hardware that can handle high inventory turnover, weight-based sales, and busy rush hours. Generic POS solutions don’t fit the bill.
That’s why we’ve curated the best hardware solutions for grocery stores and markets, including:
Deli, scanner, and tabletop scales help you sell meat, cheese, and produce faster and with fewer errors. Enjoy full POS integration and commercial-grade reliability.
Perform lightning-fast stock counts, receive new inventory, and adjust prices all from the sales floor using a mobile inventory device.
Different mounts allow you to switch your cashier-led lane to a self-checkout station in seconds. Choose from pole, VESA, or custom mounting solutions.
At minimum, you need a touchscreen terminal, barcode scanner, receipt printer, cash drawer, and a PIN pad for card payments. Depending on your industry, you may also need specialty hardware like an age verification scanner, deli scale, or label printer.
Setting up your new POS hardware should be easy — especially with the right support. Your provider should walk you through the setup process, from turning on the hardware to integrating tools like deli scales and scanners. They should also help you troubleshoot issues during onboarding and beyond.
