A system determines the physical configuration of a convertible checkout station and configures the software to operate the station in correspondence with the determined configuration. The system comprises a physical configuration actuator that responds to a checkout station physical configuration and a physical configuration signal generator responsive to the actuator to generate a signal identifying the physical configuration of the checkout station. The signal may be provided to a processor that controls operation of the station and the processor uses the signal to configure software for the station.
