What to Look for in a Modern POS System for Your Retail Store

A Practical Guide for Jordanian Shop Owners

Running a retail business today requires more than just a cash drawer and a calculator. Whether you own a boutique, convenience store, or supermarket, your Point of Sale (POS) system should help you sell smarter, faster, and more efficiently—while staying compliant with Jordan’s tax regulations.

In this blog, we’ll walk you through the essential features to look for in a modern POS system—and why Fawtara Techs offers exactly what your store needs.

🛒 Why Your POS System Matters

A modern POS isn’t just about ringing up sales. It should:

1. Speed up transactions
2. Collect customer data
3. Generate tax-compliant invoices (with QR codes)
4. Support multiple payment types
5. Provide sales and profitability insights

✅ Top Features to Look for in a Retail POS System

Your POS should allow staff to:

2. Add items by category or name
3. Apply discounts
4. Accept cash, card, or mobile payments
5. Image for each product. 

💡 Fawtara Techs POS supports multi-lingual interfaces and is optimized for touchscreen speed.
