MPOS vs. CPOS

MPOS on a Windows, iOS, or Android device is an that is packaged, installed, and serviced on that device

  • Windows – The MPOS for Windows application contains all the application code and the embedded commerce runtime (CRT).
  • iOS/Android – On these platforms, the application acts as a host for the CPOS application code. In other words, the application code comes from the CPOS server on Microsoft Azure or the Commerce Scale Unit. For more information, see Commerce Scale Unit overview.

CPOS (Cloud POS) Because CPOS runs in a browser, the application isn’t installed on the device. Instead, the browser accesses the application code from the CPOS server. Therefore, CPOS directly access POS hardware or work in an offline state.
