SoftPOS — connectivity, compatibility, security and what's in the box.
SoftPOS turns a standard smartphone into a card payment terminal — no extra hardware, nothing to carry beyond the phone already in your pocket.
What is SoftPOS?
Soft point of sale, or SoftPOS, uses the NFC chip already built into modern phones to accept contactless card and wallet payments, with no plugged-in reader required. It's the same technology behind tap to pay, packaged as an app rather than a device.
Devices SPOS runs on
It runs on any recent Android or iOS smartphone that supports NFC, so most staff can start taking payments on a phone they already carry, or a low-cost handset bought just for the till. No separate card reader or dongle is needed to get going.
SPOS vs a traditional card terminal
Compared with a traditional card terminal, the appeal is upfront cost and speed to set up — there's no extra device to buy, charge or replace. A dedicated terminal still wins for very high transaction volumes or where a business wants a purpose-built device on the counter.
Getting started with Kayana SoftPOS
Getting started takes minutes: install the app, verify the business, and start accepting tap payments straight away. It suits pop-ups, markets, delivery drivers and any team that wants to take payment without carrying separate hardware.
