POS or PoS is an abbreviation for point of sale (or point of service). This can mean a retail shop, a checkout counter in a shop, or a variable location where a transaction occurs. In Europe, the acronym EPOS for Electronic Point Of Sale is used in preference.
Traditional stores
A check-out counter, checkstand(UK), or checkout is the aisle where people place items they have chosen to purchase from a store, such as a supermarket or department store. This is typically a long counter, which usually contains a moving belt or sometimes a rotating carousel, and a photocell to stop it when items reach the end. The cashier rings up each item on the cash register and obtains the total. The items are placed in bags and the customer can take them after paying.
Marketers design special advertising vehicles, called point-of-sale displays that may be found near a checkout counter, however, the term also applies to displays strategically placed in a store for special promotions. This type of display is designed to stimulate impulse purchases or they may be tied to various seasonal marketing promotions, such as "Back to School", "Tax Time", or holidays.
