Question 2

What are the different types of cash registers?

Accepted Answer

There are many different types of cash registers. Antique models are largely mechanical cash registers that feature metal taps for inputting prices and an adder for totaling sums. Companies like National Cash Register Company, Hallwood, Chicago and Ideal produced these early cash registers, which remain popular with collectors today. By the mid-century, most merchants had moved to electronic cash registers that allowed them to add up sales much faster. With the rise of computers came point-of-sale (POS) cash registers. These devices combine an electronic cash drawer with a desktop computer loaded with software that processes sales transactions. Today, POS cash registers are the most common, though some merchants now use mobile apps to accept payments from customers. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of antique and vintage cash registers.
