Acceptance hardware
Same payment application. Fifteen bodies.
Every device below runs the identical payment application against the identical API. Choosing hardware is a question about the room it stands in, not about the integration you will have to write, and adding a second model later costs you nothing but the shipping.
- Handheld On the floor, at the table, on the bike
- Countertop Fixed position, ethernet, barcode
- Unattended Kiosks, EV charging, vending, transit
- Tap to Pay iPhone and Android, no terminal at all
One API across all of them
