"point of sale" or "retail outlet"


Explanation:
I agree that "point of sale" is probably the term needed here, although "retail outlet" could work too, depending on the full context of the piece. "Point of sale" or "POS" is more right at the spot where money (or plastic!) exchanges hands.

The sentence given as context could be considered ambiguous: by "punto de venta" do they mean at the register (this seems more likely), or at the store in general?

If the former, then "point of sale" or "POS"; and if the latter, then "retail outlet".
