What is a virtual cash register?
What is it?
A virtual cash register is a modern POS system that works on your phone, computer or tablet. No complicated devices – just an app and your device. Instead of an expensive cash register, you use software that performs all the same functions: issues receipts, sends data to VMI, and keeps sales records.
