Independent Merchant POS Interview - Remote USA
Listing checked September 30, 2026 · pay as published by Terac
Overview
Terac runs a paid research study on the tools independent retail and service businesses use every day. You join a 20-minute remote interview with an AI moderator and talk through your point-of-sale setup, payment terminals, and local advertising choices. The moderator adapts follow-up questions to your business and the challenges you face. Your feedback shapes the next generation of merchant tools.

Who Should Apply
Independent retail owners, restaurant operators, and local service providers who pick their own POS and payment tools fit this study. General managers and operational leaders who handle transactions and run local advertising campaigns also qualify. Candidates who use a POS system but have no say in purchasing decisions often miss the mark. Another common low-fit signal: discomfort with an AI-led interview or no direct experience managing payment terminals. If you clock in at a chain location and never touch hardware or software choices, this study is not for you.
