Hardware

Runs on the Windows hardware you choose.

Freedom POS is a point-of-sale platform that runs on standard Windows 10 and Windows 11 touchscreen terminals and tablets rather than a single proprietary terminal.

Hardware is one of the first decisions a new POS locks down for you. Freedom POS keeps that decision in your hands instead of tying it to one proprietary device.

What it runs on

Standard Windows hardware, not a proprietary terminal

Freedom POS is built to run on standard Windows 10 and Windows 11 touchscreen terminals, all-in-one POS terminals, and tablets, rather than a single sealed device you can only buy from us.

That is a deliberate difference from point-of-sale systems sold as a closed hardware-and-software bundle. If a Windows touchscreen terminal or tablet can run Windows 10 or Windows 11, it is a candidate for running Freedom POS.

What that means for you

Fewer hardware decisions locked to one vendor

No proprietary lock-in

You are not required to buy a single sealed terminal from us. Standard Windows hardware in the configuration you choose can run Freedom POS.

Pricing you can shop for

Because the hardware is standard Windows equipment, you can shop and compare pricing across vendors instead of being limited to a single proprietary terminal's price tag.

Reuse equipment where it fits

If you already have suitable Windows touchscreen terminals or tablets, they may be able to run Freedom POS rather than requiring a full hardware replacement.

Replace a failed unit yourself

If a terminal fails, you are not waiting on one vendor's proprietary replacement. A comparable Windows touchscreen device can typically stand in.

Payment hardware

Card payments run through the Datacap gateway

Card payments in Freedom POS run through Datacap, a PCI-certified, processor-agnostic payment gateway. That keeps payment connectivity tied to the gateway rather than to a single proprietary terminal.

Before you buy hardware

What to check before buying a terminal or tablet

Confirm these details with us for your specific setup before purchasing hardware.

  • Screen size and touch response for the counter, register, or station it will run
  • Which version of Windows 10 or Windows 11 the device runs
  • Network connectivity: wired Ethernet or Wi-Fi, and what your location actually has available
  • Whether the device is new or existing equipment you are hoping to reuse
