Genius™ is Global Payments’ retail point of sale system,
built to help busy store owners track inventory, manage customers
and take payments wherever the business takes them.
Built with the features and functionality retailers need to compete, Genius provides the tech you need to stay ahead in a dynamic retail environment.
Improve your buying, respond quickly to trends and reduce dead stock with powerful inventory tools. Real-time updates help prevent overselling, while stock alerts help keep important orders from being overlooked.
Make checkout easier with built-in payments and a Virtual Terminal that lets customers pay anytime, anywhere. Genius also helps you keep inventory synced, process orders and track sales as payments move through your business.
Spot trends and pivot quickly with advanced analytics tools. Run COGS and sales reports, track employee performance, focus on margins and create the custom reports your retail business needs.
Track sales, returns, most visited locations and more with customer experience tools built into Genius. Rich data captured with each transaction feeds customer dashboards that help you engage shoppers more personally and give them more reasons to return.
Genius was built by developers who spent years working in retail themselves, and it shows in the parts you only notice once you're running it.
Setup is plug-and-play and training is painless, so you're onboarding in days rather than weeks — switching from another system or starting fresh — with expert support from day one.
PCI-compliant payment processing is built into the POS, so checkout is faster and more secure and you avoid the errors that come from juggling multiple systems.
Cloud-based software lets you sell and run your operation from anywhere, with no complicated remote logins or workarounds.
Give sales associates custom permissions so your team has what it needs at the till.
Cut the time physical inventory counts take, and mitigate coupon fraud more easily.

Whether you sell from a storefront, pop-up or online, Genius gives you the flexibility to meet customers wherever they want to shop. Sell in store, online or on the go with one connected retail POS system built around the way you do business.

Answers to common questions about Genius for Retail, from payments and hardware to multi-location management.
A cash register handles basic transactions and cash storage. A point of sale (POS) system goes further, combining software and hardware to help you process sales, manage inventory, track sales data, accept different payment methods and handle back-office tasks. Depending on the system and setup, POS platforms can also support online ordering and integrated payment processing.
