checkout system
Where transactions conclude
A checkout system is the process or equipment used to complete purchases at a retail location.
Traditional checkout systems involve a cashier, register, and payment terminal; self-checkout systems let customers scan and pay for items themselves.
The term also applies to software handling online transactions: The website's checkout system crashed during the sale.
