UK's Trusted Point of Sale Hardware Specialists

A standard electronic point of sale system uses a few main pieces of POS hardware to take payments. Your checkout will need a touchscreen till terminal or a tablet stand for an iPad, a secure metal cash drawer, and a thermal receipt printer. Depending on your shop floor, you can add a handheld barcode scanner, a hands-free presentation scanner, or an extra kitchen printer for restaurant order slips.

Yes, our till printers work with top UK software apps like Shopify POS, Square, SumUp, and Zettle. Modern wireless receipt printers connect easily using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, while fixed checkouts use a standard USB receipt printer wire. The cash till base plugs straight into the back of your thermal printer using a drawer cable. This layout makes the drawer pop open automatically every time a customer receipt prints.

It comes down to where you put the machine. A thermal receipt printer uses heat-sensitive paper till rolls to print text without ink. They are great for front counters, but heat from cooking hobs turns the paper black. A hospitality kitchen printer uses an impact dot-matrix printer setup. This style presses a physical ink ribbon onto plain paper, so your chef order tickets stay clean and readable near hot grills.

Choose your barcode reader based on your stock items. A handheld barcode scanner is lightweight, easy to hold, and perfect for clothes shops where staff need to reach price tags. A hands-free presentation scanner sits flat on your checkout counter. It uses smart sensors to read codes automatically when you slide items past the window, making it much quicker for busy convenience shops and grocery stores.

Cables can cause trips on a shop counter or inside a stockroom. A wireless barcode scanner or cordless Bluetooth scanner gives staff total freedom. If a team member walks out of range into a deep warehouse or rear yard, the device saves the codes into its internal memory cache. As soon as the signal connects again, the device runs an automatic synchronisation to upload the saved barcode data straight to your main till system.

Standard sticky labels have a shiny backing paper that you peel off and throw in the bin. A linerless label printer uses continuous sticky rolls with no backing liner at all, much like household tape. The linerless printer has non-stick parts and an automatic cutter to slice each label cleanly to the right size. This reduces waste and lets coffee shops stick order updates and allergen warnings directly onto takeaway bags.

Buying a full POS hardware bundle or point of sale starter kit is much safer for new businesses. Sourcing separate till items from random websites often causes connection bugs because different parts use conflicting voltage wires. A matching EPOS hardware bundle guarantees that your thermal printer, cash till, and USB barcode scanner talk to each other perfectly right out of the box, saving you time and money.

Buying genuine UK stock ensures your equipment has correct 3-pin UK plugs and works safely on local power grids. Cheap grey-market imports from global platforms often cause software driver bugs and instantly cancel your manufacturer warranty. Sourcing official local inventory gives you full protection, valid repair rights, and direct access to our UK technical support desk if you need help with setup configuration.
