Following the launch of the updated e-commerce package, business owners will be able to choose from several Wix POS hardware kits.

The package includes additional kit such as HP hardware, a terminal, cash drawer, barcode scanner, receipt printer and the Stripe Terminal card reader.
Meanwhile, the Wix Retail Essential Package comes with a terminal, customer display and the Stripe reader. Wix Mobile POS works via the Wix Owner App for both iOS and Android. It also works with the Stripe card reader via Bluetooth. Finally, there’s a custom option for businesses that want to pick their hardware depending on their needs.

“The launch of our own POS solution comes at a time when businesses must have the agility to move seamlessly between their online presence and offline POS. By offering an end-to-end solution, Wix users are able to engage customers and transact across all sales channels and manage their business from one powerful solution.”
Wix POS is initially available for US-based Wix Stores, but the company has plans to roll out the system in other countries in due course.
