Which Sunmi POS to Choose? Complete Guide to Models and Compatible Stands

But the Sunmi range is wide, and choosing the wrong model or not pairing it with the right stand can cost you functionality, space and money. This guide explains what each model offers and which one fits your type of business.

Why Sunmi is among the six dominant POS brands in Spain

The point of sale market in Spain has been controlled for years by a small group of manufacturers: Ingenico, Verifone, PAX, Castles, Spire and Sunmi. These six names are behind virtually all terminals in Spanish shops.

What has propelled Sunmi into that group is its commitment to open Android hardware. While traditional bank terminals run on closed systems managed by the bank, Sunmi devices run on SUNMI OS a version of Android and allow the installation of any POS, loyalty or management application the business needs.

This makes them especially attractive for businesses that want a single device to do everything: process payments, manage orders, print receipts and control inventory. No additional tablets. No separate cash registers. No extra cables.

The Sunmi range: four product families

Sunmi organises its catalogue into families based on usage profile. Before looking for a stand, it is worth knowing which one you work with.

V Series — the portable POS for hospitality

The V Series (V2, V2 Pro) is the Sunmi terminal most associated with Spanish hospitality. It is a portable PDA with a built-in 58 mm receipt printer: the waiter carries it, takes the order, prints it in the kitchen and processes payment at the table, all with the same device.

• Screen between 5.45 and 5.99 inches
• Built-in 58 mm thermal printer
• 2,580 mAh battery for a full working day
• WiFi, Bluetooth 4.2, 4G LTE and GPS
• 5 MP camera for QR and barcode scanning
• Approximate weight: 356 g — designed to be carried by hand all day

Ideal for: restaurants, bars, cafés, catering and any business where payment takes place away from the counter.

T Series — the complete countertop POS system

The T Series (T2, T2S Lite) is Sunmi's proposal to replace a traditional cash register. It is not a payment terminal: it is a countertop POS with a large touchscreen, 80 mm thermal printer and all the hardware of a fixed point of sale.

• 15.6-inch Full HD touchscreen
• Qualcomm octa-core processor
• 4 GB RAM and 64 GB storage
• Built-in 80 mm thermal printer
• Compatible with cash drawer, NFC reader and magnetic stripe reader as accessories

Ideal for: food shops, neighbourhood stores, hairdressers, pharmacies and any business that wants a complete POS without separate hardware.

P Series — the portable payment terminal

The P Series (P2 Pro, P2 Lite) is Sunmi's equivalent to a bank payment terminal such as the Ingenico Lane or Verifone P400, but with Android and greater software flexibility. It has a built-in 58 mm printer, touchscreen and full connectivity.

• 5.99-inch HD+ screen
• 58 mm thermal printer at 70 mm/s
• 2,580 mAh battery
• Dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth, 4G and GPS
• Built-in NFC: accepts Apple Pay, Google Pay and contactless payments
• Compatible with EMV chip and magnetic stripe

It can be used handheld or fixed on a stand. It is the most common model in retail, services and shops where payment always takes place at the same point.

Ideal for: retail shops, pharmacies, service businesses, fixed points of sale with high transaction volumes.

M Series — for field sales and delivery

The M Series (M2) is designed for teams that work outside the premises: sales representatives, delivery drivers, field technicians. It is the most compact and rugged terminal in the range, designed for full mobility without the need for a fixed base.

Ideal for: distribution, last-mile logistics, route sales and home services.

Which Sunmi model is best suited for each business?

Why any Sunmi terminal performs better with the right stand

Sunmi's argument is that a single device can do the job of several. But that device only works well when it is in the right place, fixed and accessible.

A Sunmi terminal without a stand on the counter ends up moving with every transaction, dragging the cabling and taking up workspace that could be free. For portable models like the V2 Pro or the P2, the risk of falling from the counter is constant — and repairing the screen or built-in printer is not cheap.

A professional stand for a Sunmi POS:

• Fixes the terminal in the correct position so the customer can access the NFC reader or PIN pad without the cashier having to hold it.
• Protects the cabling from tugs that damage the charging and data ports.
• Prevents falls — especially important for the V Series and P Series, which are lightweight and move easily on smooth surfaces.
• Brings visual order to the checkout area, improving the perception of professionalism of the establishment.

Frequently asked questions about Sunmi POS terminals and stands

Do all Sunmi models accept card payments?

Not all of them. The terminals designed specifically for payments are those in the P Series and V Series. The T Series are complete POS systems that can integrate a card reader as an accessory, and the M Series also includes a payment module. Before purchasing a Sunmi terminal, check whether the chosen model includes the card payment module or whether it is an additional accessory.

What is the difference between a Sunmi and a bank payment terminal like Ingenico or Verifone?

The main difference is the business model and the openness of the software. The Ingenico or Verifone terminals distributed by banks are devices managed by the financial institution, with closed software. Sunmi devices run on Android and allow the installation of any payment or management application. This gives the business more flexibility, but also means managing maintenance and updates more directly.

Which stand is compatible with the Sunmi V2 Pro?

The Sunmi V2 Pro, due to its elongated portable design, fits the Techpole universal stand, which adjusts via four guides to the exact dimensions of the terminal.

Can I install the stand without drilling the counter?

The countertop stand for the P2 Pro supports installation with double-sided adhesive tape on surfaces that cannot be drilled, such as glass or stainless steel. Wall-mounted stands always require four anchor screws to ensure firmness under continuous use.

Does Sunmi have technical support in Spain?

Yes, Sunmi operates in Spain through official distributors and has technical support in Spanish. As an independent hardware manufacturer not linked to any bank, incidents are managed directly with the distributor or with Sunmi Spain.

What is the difference between the Sunmi P2 Pro and the P2 Lite?

The P2 Pro is more robust and designed for intensive use at high-traffic points of sale. The P2 Lite is more compact and lighter, with the same payment capabilities but in a smaller format, better suited for counters with limited space or businesses where the terminal frequently changes hands.
