✓Busy tills and QSR counters with high transaction volumes
✓Table-side and queue-busting payments on handheld Android devices
✓Kiosks, vending and parking where secure unattended acceptance is required
✓Merchants who want a familiar, dedicated device
SoftPOS
Contactless acceptance on a smartphone or tablet the merchant already uses, through an app.
✓Field service, deliveries and pop-up selling
✓Lower-volume merchants who don't want extra hardware
✓Extra lanes at peak times without buying more terminals
✓Fast rollouts across many staff devices
