    There are several POS system versions.

    • Traditional, where all the data is on a server at your business and you pay for the hardware and specific version of the software upfront – with the knowledge that each upgrade will cost you money
    • Cloud-based, where the software is installed on the hardware and the data is on a remote server, allowing you access through the internet. There usually are monthly subscription fees and updates at no additional charge
