Off-Site Shop Checklist and Guide
With summer quickly approaching, your company may be gearing up to participate in off-site events, where you will be selling products away from your normal brick-and-mortar retail space. If you are in need of renting additional POSaBIT hardware for the event, or are intending to bring any of your current POSaBIT POS hardware and/or POSaBIT debit terminal hardware, there are a few proactive steps we recommend in preparation for your event:
- If you need to rent additional equipment for the event, reach out to

POsaBIT debit terminals. Reach out to your Customer Success Manager
for more details. - Be sure to check if there will be any physical limitations on using a

go to the trouble of sourcing a mobile hotspot or SIM card, only to find
out that you won’t have any reception within the event space!

each of the following pieces of equipment:- POSaBIT POS Register

- POSaBIT Debit Terminal
- Mobile Hotspot (if sourcing one for the event)
