Customers at the point of sale would want to pay for the products that they have purchased using different payment methods such as cash, card, net banking, wallet credits, and so on. When you are managing a retail store, the POS system should be able to accept different types of payments from your customers.
For example, Rasha has purchased a few stationeries from ABC Stores and wants to pay via Wallet. Unfortunately, the store only accepts payments made via cash, or card. Rasha is frustrated that she is not able to complete the purchase after spending a lot of time searching and selecting the required items.
She moves to another store, Zylker Mart and checks if they accept payments via Wallet, and they do. They also support payments done via net banking, cheque for large transactions. Now, Rasha is relieved and continues to purchase at Zylker Mart.
So now, will Rasha prefer ABC Stores again?
No. Because the store hasn't updated the payment methods that are widely preferred by the customers.
When you support different payment methods like Zylker Mart, it gets easy for the customers to complete the sale and checkout from the point of sale. Also, they will be happy to come back thereby earning customer loyalty.
