Point of Sale is the time and place where a retail transaction is completed—the moment a customer pays for goods or services and the merchant finalizes the sale. This includes calculating the total, accepting payment, and issuing a receipt.
In modern retail, POS also refers to the system—a combination of hardware and software—used to process transactions, accept payments, track inventory, and manage customer and sales data.
“ITF‑14 is a GS1 standard barcode used to encode a GTIN‑14 for identifying cases, cartons, and higher‑level packaging units in the supply chain. It is not used at point of sale. ITF‑14 is optimized for printing on corrugated cardboard, making it ideal for distribution, warehousing, and logistics environments. GS1 describes ITF‑14 as a barcode used specifically for trade item groupings (e.g., cases, cartons, multipacks) and not intended for POS scanning.”
