Use our functionality but with your setup
Everything we do is API-first. That means that you can get up and running in your current environment without any need to purchase new hardware in terms of screens and stands. You will need a newer touchscreen device running Android if you want to take advantage of the built in NFC chip and accept contactless payments out-of-the-box. If you wish to accept contactless on devices without any NFC chip or on any Apple device, or if you need to include chip on card present payments, you need to purchase one of our secure card readers for each terminal. We are working on a developer portal with documentation for the major programming languages soon.
The future is now
A big wave is coming and we are already out in the ocean getting ready to catch it. This is the biggest change in payment since the plastic card, and everyone from customers, via merchant to partners will benefit from it.
