Buying guide
How to choose a cash drawer for your POS system
Follow these steps to choose a cash drawer that fits your counter and works with your POS package – or ask our team to check for you.
Measure your counter
Check the width and depth available. 410mm suits most POS terminals, 330mm–350mm fits tighter spaces and 460mm gives more room for notes.
Choose a note & coin layout
Common layouts include 4 notes / 8 coins and 5 notes / 8 coins. Most UK businesses need at least 4 note and 8 coin compartments.
Check how it opens
Printer-driven drawers connect to your receipt printer via RJ11/RJ12 and open automatically on cash sales. Some tills use a USB drawer interface instead.
Match the voltage
Most printer-driven drawers run at 24V. Check that your printer’s drawer port matches the drawer.
Pick a mounting style
Freestanding, flip-top or under-counter bracket – choose what suits your layout and security needs.
Think about security
Look for lockable drawers, media slots for cheques and vouchers, and sturdy steel construction.

FAQs
Cash Drawers FAQs
What size cash drawer do I need?
410mm is the most popular size and fits under most POS terminals. Choose 330mm–350mm for tight spaces or tablet set-ups, and 460mm if you handle lots of notes.
How does a POS cash drawer open?
Most POS cash drawers are printer-driven: they connect to the receipt printer with an RJ11/RJ12 cable and open automatically when a cash sale is completed. They can also be opened with a key.
Will a cash drawer work with my POS system?
Printer-driven cash drawers work with almost any receipt printer and are compatible with most POS hardware and software. Make sure the drawer voltage (usually 24V) matches your printer, or ask our team to check.
What is the difference between RJ11 and RJ12 cash drawer cables?
The connectors look similar. RJ12 cables use six wires and RJ11 cables use fewer. Most printer-driven drawers come with the right cable for standard receipt printers, so use the cable supplied with your drawer.
What is a flip-top cash drawer?
A flip-top drawer sits in or under the counter with a lid that opens upwards. It saves space and keeps cash out of view, which makes it popular in bars and on compact counters.
Can I change the note and coin layout?
Yes. Many drawers accept replacement inserts with different note and coin layouts, and lidded inserts let you swap and lock away cash between shifts.
Can a cash drawer be mounted under the counter?
Yes. Under-counter mounting brackets fix compatible drawers beneath the counter to free up worktop space.
Do you deliver cash drawers across the UK?
Yes. We deliver POS cash drawers to businesses throughout England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
