Our mobile POS terminals bring the whole checkout into one handheld Android device, combining a barcode scanner, receipt printer and card payment reader in a single unit. Ideal for retail floors, hospitality, markets and field sales, they let staff serve customers, take payment and print a receipt anywhere in the venue rather than being tied to a fixed till.
As a specialist hardware reseller, Smart Mobile POS supplies terminals that run standard Android, so they work with most leading EPOS and payment apps. Whether you need one unit for a pop-up stall or a fleet for a multi-site chain, we can help you match the right mobile POS terminal to your software, connectivity and battery-life requirements.
How to choose a mobile POS terminal
- Check software compatibility first: confirm your EPOS or payment app runs on the terminal's Android version, as this determines whether the device will work day to day.
- Decide which functions you need built in. All-in-one models bundle a barcode scanner, receipt printer and card reader, which removes the need for separate peripherals on the shop floor.
- Consider battery life and charging. Look for a swappable battery or a charging cradle if the device will be in constant use across a full shift.
- Think about connectivity. Wi-Fi suits fixed venues, while 4G or a SIM slot keeps field sales and outdoor events online away from the premises.
- Match durability to the environment. Hospitality and outdoor use benefit from a higher IP rating and drop resistance, whereas a counter-based till can be lighter and simpler.
Frequently asked questions
What is a mobile POS terminal?
A mobile POS terminal is a handheld Android device that runs your till software and combines a barcode scanner, receipt printer and card payment reader in one unit. Staff can scan items, take contactless or chip-and-PIN payment and issue a receipt anywhere, rather than working from a fixed counter till.
How does a mobile POS system work?
A mobile POS system pairs a handheld terminal with EPOS software that manages your products, prices and sales. The terminal connects over Wi-Fi or 4G to sync data, processes card payments through your chosen payment provider and prints or emails receipts, giving you a complete portable checkout.
Are mobile POS terminals Android based?
The terminals we supply run standard Android, which makes them compatible with most leading EPOS and payment applications. Running full Android also means familiar setup, straightforward app installation and regular updates, so staff can get up to speed quickly and integrate the device with your existing systems.
What businesses use mobile POS terminals?
Mobile POS terminals suit retail, hospitality, markets, events and field sales. Restaurants use them for pay-at-table, shops for queue busting at peak times, and traders for taking payment on the move. Any business that benefits from serving customers away from a fixed till is a good fit.
Can a mobile POS terminal print receipts and take card payments?
Yes. All-in-one mobile POS terminals include a built-in thermal receipt printer and an integrated card reader that accepts contactless, chip-and-PIN and mobile wallet payments. This means a single handheld device handles scanning, payment and receipt printing without any separate peripherals on the counter.
