Payment terminal, POS system, and Peppol: What does each system do?
For small and medium-sized businesses, these terms often come up together in a single software discussion.

Patient payments, eFact, and third-party payers: three different payment streams
These terms are sometimes used interchangeably in conversations. This leads to false expectations about what a payment terminal or integration can accomplish. By distinguishing between the three flows, you can organize your software and responsibilities correctly.
Mobile Payments During a Home Visit: Terminal or SoftPOS?
