We offer three integration methods:
The Point of Sale (POS) system and the payment terminal are connected via a cloud API.
Advantages:
Flexibility and Scalability: Easy to add or remove terminals and POS systems as your business grows or changes. Cloud-based solutions often scale effortlessly.
Centralized Data: Transaction data is often stored centrally, making it easier to generate reports, analyze sales trends, and manage inventory.
Location Independence: Can work across multiple locations with a centralized system, suitable for businesses with several branches.
Less dependency on physical connection and wiring.
The POS system and the payment terminal are connected via a USB cable or a local network socket (e.g., WIFI).
Advantages:
Faster Transaction Speeds: Direct communication between the POS and terminal can lead to quicker processing times compared to some cloud solutions, especially if the internet is unstable.
Enhanced Security: Data is transmitted locally, potentially reducing the risk of data breaches compared to transmitting over the internet. However, this can also introduce risks if proper security measures are not applied to the local connection.
Payment terminal internal invocation: The business application directly calls the AIDL interface provided by the OPC to conduct transactions.
Cloud API is best for businesses that need flexibility, scalability, and remote management.
Local Integration is a good choice for businesses that prioritize speed, reliability, and security within a local environment.
The best choice depends on your specific business needs and priorities.
