How to set up a computer so that visitors at the point of sale have access only to the browser and only to one single site? How is it, for example, done at Walmart ...

Let's install a very minimal version of Linux and put the browser assembled in the appropriate way there, the implementation options for this are somewhat spinning in my head, but if you asked this question, then you are unlikely to pull it yourself. If you have a store, especially if you definitely need a specialist in your staff, just find such a person, and offer to do what you are asking for as an introductory task.

The easiest option in a nutshell.
Put Linux, the same ubuntu. By default, you set the home page of the desired site.
Using a firewall, router, iptables (on an OS with Ubuntu), set up the rules:
Allow only IP (website ip) tcp 80;
443 out/in ports
Profit! Get a computer with access only to the permitted resource.
