Solution

1. Point of sale (POS) terminals consists of the hardware and software that manages a sale transaction. The transaction will include elements like credit card/debit card processing, printing of the receipt etc.

Touchscreen point of sale terminals does not make use of keyboards like the traditional POS terminals. Rather all the transaction processes are displayed on screen and the desired transaction can be done by touching the screen. In such a terminal the interface is also touch screen and employees can process a customer bill quickly be scanning the products, making the final bill, and collecting the payment, all through a couple of touches on the screen.

Wireless terminals are usually mobile POS, compared to touch screen POS which usually are fixed at the counter. Wireless terminals do not require wired installations, unlike a touchscreen POS which requires wired installations.
