Genius is the POS system built with your store in mind
Point of sale systems are comprised of POS hardware and software and are used by retail
stores, restaurants,
venues and arenas to take orders, accept payments, track inventory management and manage employees.
Most types of POS systems include traditional touchscreen countertop devices with card
readers and receipt printers or mobile iPad® based formats. A top-notch enterprise, restaurant or retail POS
system, like Genius,
can help boost business with customizable features, omnichannel functionality and marketing and
loyalty integrations.
Genius is a point of sale solution that supports in-person and online card payments, including debit
cards and all major credit cards and debit cards (Visa®, Mastercard®, American Express®, Discover®,
JCB and UnionPay).
Consumers are increasingly using mobile payments, so our Genius point of sale solution is
equipped to accept digital wallets and contactless payments from mobile devices such as Apple Pay®,
Google Pay® (formerly Android Pay), Samsung Wallet®, AliPay® and WeChat Pay®.
Your business will also be able to accept payments via gift cards, EMV chip cards and more.
Genius is a secure cloud-based point of sale system which allows you to process payments confidently using advanced PCI-DSS compliant technology including blocking third-party access of payment data using end-to-end encryption and tokenization.
We will work with you to ensure you select the best possible solution for your existing platform. Contact us for a full list of integration partners.
Transaction fees, monthly fees and pricing depend on the type of payment processed, whether the
transaction is made in-store or online and other variables.
We offer straightforward pricing with no hidden fees and allow the freedom to choose a POS
system plan that suits your business needs — so you never pay for what you don’t need. You may also
opt to offset your payment processing costs with surcharge and cash discount programs.*
*Please note that not all states permit the imposition of a surcharge, and there are limitations and policies that are state-specific. Compliance with state surcharging laws are the responsibility of the merchant.
In most cases, funding is deposited the following business day (after settlement) to the financial account you provide at time of boarding. Your Global Payments representative will be happy to confirm this for you.
*Merchants on certain processing programs are not eligible for next-day funding; funding may be delayed by Global Payments’ Credit or Risk departments at any time.
Genius point of sale solutions are backed by 24/7 customer support from in-house payment experts, not bots. Whenever you have a question or need help, we’re here for you.

I've dealt with other (providers) in the past, and all it's been is a faceless name at the other end of the phone, a name that changes regularly. With Global Payments, there's consistency in the person you're dealing with.
