Looking for a reliable, ready-to-use cash register in Australia? POS Plaza stocks electronic cash registers (ECRs) from SAM4S and NEXA — from compact single-station models for a market stall or small café through to dual-station systems for busier retail counters. Every register includes a built-in thermal or impact printer and a cash drawer, so you can switch it on and start trading. Prices currently range from around $739 to $1,415 inc GST.
Which cash register is right for you?
- Small shop / café / market stall: the SAM4S ER-180U (with thermal printer and small drawer) is the easy entry point — simple to program and quick to learn.
- Growing retail or hospitality counter: step up to the SAM4S ER-265, NR-510 (single-station, raised or flat keyboard) for more departments and faster keying.
- Busy two-operator or dual-roll setups: the SAM4S NR-520 (2-station) and SPS-320 system register handle higher volume and print both a receipt and a journal.
- Larger drawer needs: the NEXA NE-200 (small drawer) and NEXA NE-210 (large drawer) ECRs suit sites that take a lot of cash.
Cash register or POS system?
A cash register is the fastest, lowest-cost way to ring up sales, print GST receipts and manage a cash drawer — no monthly software fees. If you also want inventory tracking, detailed reporting, integrated card payments or cloud access, look at our POS systems and POS hardware bundles instead. Not sure which fits?

Frequently asked questions
Q: What's the difference between a cash register and a POS system?
A: A cash register is a standalone unit that records sales, prints receipts and opens a cash drawer with no software subscription. A POS system adds inventory, reporting, staff logins and card-payment integration, usually with software running on a touchscreen terminal or tablet.
Q: What's the difference between single-station and dual-station (single-roll vs dual-roll) registers?
A: Single-station (single-roll) registers print one paper roll — the customer receipt. Dual-station (dual-roll) models print a customer receipt and keep a separate journal record, which is useful for busier sites that need an audit trail.
Q: Do these cash registers print GST-compliant receipts?
A: Yes. SAM4S and NEXA registers can be programmed for Australian GST and print tax-inclusive receipts. We can pre-program tax rates and departments before dispatch on request.
Q: Can I program my own products and prices?
A: Yes — all models are programmable for departments, PLUs (price look-ups), and operator keys. Entry models like the ER-180U are designed to be programmed in minutes; system registers like the SPS-320 hold far more product lines.
Q: Does the register come with a cash drawer and printer?
A: Yes. These are all-in-one electronic cash registers with an integrated printer and a cash drawer included, so they work straight out of the box. You'll just need paper rolls to keep them running.
Q: How much does a cash register cost in Australia?
A: At POS Plaza, electronic cash registers currently start around $739 inc GST for the SAM4S ER-180U and rise to about $1,415 inc GST for larger dual-station and big-drawer models.
