Point of Sale (POS) Glossary
Apple Pay is an electronic payment method run by the Apple computer company. Apple devices that meet the specifications, including NFC (near field communication) and operating system requirements, can use Apple Pay for contactless payments at point of sale registers. Many modern Apple phones, watches, and iPads are compatible with the Apple Pay system.
In addition to being accepted at POS registers, Apple Pay allows online payments at websites and money transfers. Apple Pay works like a virtual wallet with a payment source behind the scenes.
Proponents of Apple Pay claim it is more secure than using a physical card because the receiving POS device does not get actual card data. Additionally, contactless payment is more hygienic and may reduce disease transmission.

Should You Collect Charitable Donations?
You’ve probably been at the register at the grocery store and asked if you wanted to contribute money to a charity as you checked out. Maybe you donated, or perhaps you found it was annoying. It might have depended on your mood that day, or possibly the charity was a deciding factor.
