It's very important you choose a POS system that matches your exact needs and budget. In saying this, it also makes good business sense to go with a DIRECT credit card processor that integrates with the POS options you'll have. Choose someone that has expertise in both and is a business consultant - a W2, full time employee who has a vested interest in your success. Some models are 'agent based' and may not have your best interest in mind. I suggest someone that will provide the personal attention and customer CARE you deserve and will pick up when you call.
