New generation payment registration system on the way
The point-of-sale (POS) system constitutes an important part of the digital transformation. Regarded as one of the biggest transformations in the history of the struggle against unregistered businesses in Turkey, all cash registers and POS devices will become obsolete as part of the transformation which will affect approximately 3 million tradesmen and small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
Traditional cash registers will be replaced with the "New Generation Payment Registration System" which will combine cash registers and point-of-sale units into one single unit. The new generation of smart cash registers, with internet connectivity capabilities, will send immediate notifications to the Ministry of Finance while the invoice will also become a thing of the past.
