cash register

Store payment station

A cash register is a machine used in retail businesses to record sales transactions and store money.

It typically includes a drawer for organizing bills and coins, a display showing prices, and keys or a touchscreen for entering amounts.

Modern cash registers often integrate with inventory systems and accept card payments, though the term persists even as physical cash becomes less common.
