SoftPOS solutions

SoftPOS gives merchants a fast, low‑cost way to start accepting card‑present payments. Because it runs on a standard smartphone or tablet, there’s no upfront hardware expense and deployment can be completed in minutes. The solution is highly mobile, letting merchants accept payments anywhere they have a device and an internet connection—perfect for pop‑up stalls, delivery services, or small shops with limited space. Automatic software updates bring new payment methods (contactless, QR, mobile wallets) and security patches without service visits, keeping the system compliant with PCI‑DSS and EMV standards. Finally, the streamlined setup reduces operational overhead, allowing merchants to focus on sales rather than managing and maintaining dedicated POS equipment.

Ingenico SoftPOS lets merchants turn any NFC‑enabled Android 8.1+ or iOS 16.4+ smartphone or tablet into a secure, contact‑less payment terminal. It accepts the major card schemes – Mastercard, Visa and other international cards – through the device’s NFC reader, and can also generate receipts via email, SMS, QR‑code or a connected printer. 

Ingenico SoftPOS runs on any NFC‑enabled consumer or professional device that meets the OS requirements – Android 8.1 or higher (optimised for Android 11 and above) and iOS 16.4 or higher – so merchants can turn a standard smartphone or tablet into a secure, contact‑less terminal. It also supports rugged PDAs and dedicated Android‑based SoftPOS payment terminals, giving you the flexibility to use a personal device, a professional mobile device, or a purpose‑built terminal.
