ROLLER POS is a point of sale system that you can use to sell your products in person, search for and redeem bookings and much more.
ROLLER POS syncs and tracks your bookings and products across your online checkout and all other apps.
Getting started
If you're just starting out with ROLLER as your ecommerce and point of sale platform, then you can start with our POS checklist. The checklist guides you through the initial steps for setting up your ROLLER account.
If you already have a ROLLER online checkout and you want to start selling in person, then you must set up your ROLLER POS devices and configure your POS device settings, choose compatible hardware and peripherals and set up standalone or integrated card terminals.
Hardware
Check the list of compatible operating systems and peripheral devices to ensure your physical POS devices are supported.
Configure payments
ROLLER has the following payment types for POS:
| Default payment types available in ROLLER POS |
|
| Other payment types that appear as standard buttons on your payment page (if enabled) |
|
Integrated card terminals
Integrated payments are those that ROLLER automatically pushes to the card terminal and receives an approval or decline response back to close the sale.
ROLLER offers integrated card terminals through its own payment solution, ROLLER Payments. ROLLER also integrates with a number of third payment providers within different regions. See Currently supported payment providers for a full list.
Non-integrated (standalone) card terminals
For payment providers that are not currently integrated with ROLLER, you can use a non-integrated payment type.
Non-integrated card payments require you to manually enter the payment amount into the card terminal and process the payment, then confirm in ROLLER that the payment is accepted to close the sale.
Using ROLLER, you can use any credit card/EFTPOS card payment terminal as a non-integrated standalone terminal. To use this, you must separately set up your card payment terminal using the directions that came with the terminal. When the time comes to take payment, you can process the payment using the terminal and then select Card button in ROLLER to complete the transaction.
Manage ROLLER POS
After you've set up your ROLLER account, your POS devices and purchased your hardware, you're ready to start selling with ROLLER POS.

Other ROLLER apps to sell tickets and check-in guests in your venue
Self-Serve Kiosk
Your guests can place orders themselves rather than with a staff member by using ROLLER's Self-Serve Kiosks (SSK). ROLLER's SSK allows venues to reduce wait times, put guests in control of their entertainment experience and free up staff to handle other duties.
Guests can use the SSK to purchase session passes, add-ons such as socks or t-shirts and also sign waivers. For more information, refer to our article on configuring your Self-Serve Kiosk.
Mobile Check-In app
For venues that require a mobile check-in solution, your staff can use ROLLER's mobile check-in app to quickly get through long guest queues! Best of all the mobile check-in device fits in the palm of your hand, making it highly mobile.
FAQs
