# POS Velocity

> POS Velocity is a commerce platform designed, built and operated by POS Velocity Ltd. (Toronto, Canada). It runs in-store on PAX Android payment terminals and a desktop POS Station, online through an embeddable storefront, and in the field with work orders — all sharing one catalog, tax engine, customer book and reporting. It serves restaurants, cafés, retail stores, food trucks and field-service businesses in Canada and the United States.

Key facts:
- Owner and operator: POS Velocity Ltd., 177-1881 Steeles Ave. W., Toronto, ON M3H 0A1, Canada. Phone +1-877-773-1001, email demo@posvelocity.com.
- Working with payments and point-of-sale software since 2018.
- Hardware: PAX A-series Android terminals (native POS Velocity app on the terminal) and a Windows desktop POS Station.
- Markets: Canada and the United States. Statutory HST / GST / PST tax engine; receipts in English and French.
- One platform, four layers, all built by POS Velocity Ltd.: the terminal app, the cloud platform (one ledger), the web back office, and the API (GraphQL, merchant REST API with an OpenAPI reference, ECR terminal control).
- Completed sales are never overwritten: refunds and corrections are separate entries linked to the original transaction.
- Offline workflows: cash sales and refunds queue on the device during temporary connectivity loss and submit when the connection returns; card payments need a connection to the payment host.
