Mobile Point of Sale (POS) Devices
Mobile point-of-sale (POS) devices and hardware — iPad and iPhone POS, card readers, scanners and receipt printers. UK stock, trade pricing, fast despatch.
Our point of sale devices are compact, all-in-one units that let you run a till and take payment away from a fixed counter. Combining a touchscreen, card reader and, on many models, a built-in receipt printer and scanner, they give small shops, cafes, salons and mobile traders a complete checkout in a single, portable device.
As a specialist hardware reseller, Smart Mobile POS supplies point of sale devices and mobile POS systems that run popular EPOS and payment apps on Android. From a single countertop unit to a handheld fleet across several sites, we can help you choose the right device for your software, connectivity and day-to-day trading needs.
How to choose point of sale devices
- Start with your software. Make sure your EPOS and payment apps are supported on the device, because compatible software is what turns the hardware into a working till.
- Decide between countertop and handheld. A fixed all-in-one suits a busy counter, while a handheld mobile POS system is better for pay-at-table and serving on the move.
- Check the built-in features you need, such as a receipt printer, barcode scanner or customer-facing display, so you avoid buying separate add-ons later.
- Consider connectivity and resilience. Wi-Fi covers most fixed sites, while 4G keeps a mobile setup trading if the local network drops or you work off-site.
- Plan for growth. Choose devices that are easy to add to and standardise across sites, so expanding to more tills or locations stays simple and consistent.
Frequently asked questions
What are point of sale devices?
Point of sale devices are the hardware you use to ring up sales and take payment, from compact all-in-one units to handheld mobile POS systems. They typically combine a touchscreen, card reader and often a receipt printer and scanner, running EPOS software to manage products, prices and transactions.
What is the difference between a point of sale device and a mobile POS system?
A traditional point of sale device often sits on a counter as a fixed till, while a mobile POS system is handheld and portable, letting staff serve and take payment anywhere. Both run the same style of EPOS software; the difference is mainly mobility and where you complete each sale.
Do point of sale devices come with a card reader and receipt printer?
Many all-in-one point of sale devices include a built-in card reader and thermal receipt printer, so payment and printing happen on the same unit. Others pair with a separate reader or printer, which lets you build a setup around the exact features your business needs.
What software runs on your point of sale devices?
The devices we supply run Android, so they work with most popular EPOS and payment applications. This lets you choose the till software that best fits your sector, whether retail, hospitality or services, and integrate it with the payment provider and stock systems you already use.
Which point of sale devices are best for a small business?
Small businesses often do well with a compact all-in-one device or a handheld mobile POS system that combines the till, card reader and receipt printing in one unit. This keeps the counter tidy and setup simple, while still supporting contactless payment, stock tracking and reporting as you grow.
