"Then what is stopping some businesses that have higher turnover than the kunu hawker from using POS?

"You hear them complaining about bank charges and all as reason for not using POS. So how does this small kunu seller break even with the use of POS?"

@B_eckii commented:

"I wish traders in markets could do this as well. It'd be so nice!"

"I don’t really know how pos works. But I’m assuming they collect charges for every transaction. So say she’s selling a bottle for #100. How much will be the charge on that, About 2%? How much is she making from each bottle."
