A practical guide to the different types of POS devices available in India, their key features, and how to choose the right one.
Point-of-Sale (POS) devices have become an essential part of modern businesses, enabling merchants to accept card, UPI, QR code, and contactless payments quickly and securely. From retail stores and restaurants to banks, logistics providers, and field service teams, businesses rely on POS technology to simplify payment collection and improve customer experience.
However, choosing the right POS device isn't always straightforward. Different businesses have different operational requirements. A handheld terminal designed for delivery personnel won't necessarily suit a retail checkout counter, while a banking correspondent may require biometric authentication that a standard payment terminal doesn't provide.
This guide looks at some of the most widely used made-in-India POS devices by Access Computech and explains where each one fits best. With that said, here are the top 8 POS devices available in India (in no particular order):
The A20 and A20 FP are Made-in-India Android POS terminals designed for banking and financial service applications.

When comparing POS devices, it's important to look beyond the feature list and evaluate how well a device fits your day-to-day operations.
Ensure the device complies with recognised industry standards such as PCI, EMV Level 1 and Level 2, Visa PayWave, and Mastercard PayPass certifications. For Aadhaar-enabled banking applications, UIDAI L1 certification is essential.
Consider where the device will be used. A fixed retail checkout, a delivery vehicle, a banking correspondent, and an event venue each require different hardware capabilities, battery life, and durability.
Reliable connectivity is critical. Devices with built-in 4G, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth provide greater flexibility, particularly for businesses operating across multiple locations or in the field.
If your business already uses billing software, inventory systems, access control, or payment gateways, choose a POS device that can integrate with your existing infrastructure.
Downtime directly affects business operations. Evaluate the manufacturer's warranty, service network, software updates, and technical support before making a purchase.
There is no single POS device that's ideal for every business. The right choice depends on your industry, transaction volume, mobility requirements, payment methods, and operational workflow.
Whether you need a biometric banking terminal, a rugged handheld device for field teams, a compact retail POS, or a soundbox for instant UPI payment confirmation, selecting hardware that aligns with your business needs will help improve operational efficiency and provide a better payment experience.
