A cash register is a traditional machine used mainly to ring up sales, store cash and print receipts. It offers basic functionality and is typically not connected to other parts of your business.
A POS (point-of-sale) register, on the other hand, is a modern, all-in-one system that does much more than accept payments. A POS register like Square Register can track sales in real time, manage inventory, handle employee permissions, process multiple payment types and integrate with other business tools. Because it’s cloud-based, you can access your data from anywhere and get automatic software updates.
In short:
A cash register records transactions.
A POS register helps you run your business with deeper insights, smarter tools and more flexibility.
Square Register simplifies Canadian tax compliance through customizable tax rules. You can create rules that automatically apply different GST, HST or PST rates based on the “dining option” selected. This is particularly useful for provinces with specific tax exemptions on grocery items versus prepared meals, ensuring your pricing is always accurate and your tax reporting for the CRA is seamless.
Square Register syncs directly with major Canadian accounting platforms including QuickBooks Online and Xero via the Square App Marketplace. Once connected, your daily sales totals, sales tax breakdowns and Square processing fees are automatically exported. This eliminates manual data entry and ensures your books are always ready for tax season.
Yes. Using staff management, you can assign each staff member a unique 4-digit passcode. This allows you to set specific permissions, ensuring junior staff can process sales while sensitive actions—such as issuing refunds, changing prices or viewing end-of-day sales reports—remain restricted to managers or owners. This keeps your business data secure while your team stays productive.
