| 单词 | Point of sale |
| 释义 | 銷售點 Abbr – POS The use of payment cards at a retail location (point of sale). The payment information is captured either by paper vouchers or by electronic terminal, which in some cases, are designed also to transmit the information. Where this is so, the arrangement may be referred to as ‘electronic funds transfer at the point of sale’ (EFTPOS). EFTPOS allows payment to be made for goods and services by the electronic transfer of funds from the customer’s account to the supplier’s account. In the case of a retail payment, instead of a customer paying for goods or services by means of cash or a cheque, he present the cashier with a plastic EFTPOS debit card, which has information relating to the customer’s bank account encoded on a magnetic strip on the back. The cashier ‘swipes’ the card through a card reader installed at the retailer’s point of sale terminal and enters the amount of transaction. Where the transaction exceeds a given amount the retailer’s terminal will seek authorisation from the authorisation centre of the customer’s bank to accept the card: Paget’s Law of Banking (11th Ed, Butterworths) p 281. 縮寫 -- POS 在零售地點﹝銷售點﹞使用付款咭。付款的資料要不由紙張的收據或電子終端機作紀錄，有些電子終端機有傳送資料的設置。在這種地點的安排可被稱為「銷售點電子轉帳 (EFTPOS)」。EFTPOS允許就貨物或服務的付款通過電子轉帳由客戶的戶口直接轉到供應商的戶口中。就零售付款而言，客戶可在付款處出示塑膠的EFTPOS付款咭，代替以現金或支票支付貨物或服務；該塑膠EFTPOS付款咭的背面有一條磁帶，它附有客戶的有關戶口的資料編碼。收款員只需把咭「掃」過設置在零售商的銷售點的讀咭機，及鍵入交易的數目。凡交易超過規定的限額者，該零售商的終端機要求客戶銀行的授權中心授權接受該張咭：Paget’s Law of Banking (第11版, Butterworths)第281頁。 |
