Receive Payments with a Point of Sale
Bitcoin Point of Sale is an excellent option for businesses. Leaving your wallet on your phone on the counter of your business carries risks. Your staff or a thief could get hold of that phone and send themselves your bitcoins. The point of sale can only be used to receive bitcoins, so it is safe to provide it to staff. Any Bitcoin received at the point of sale is immediately sent to the wallet that created the point of sale.
