AXIUM NX8

Easy Returns runs as a native Android app built by Tyro on Ingenico’s AXIUM terminals. The solution leverages the AXIUM Android‑based OS (with its secure, PCI‑compliant payment engine), the AXIUM App Store for instant deployment, and Ingenico 360 for over‑the‑air updates. This stack lets merchants trigger a one‑tap refund directly on the terminal, with encrypted, in‑terminal authorisation and automatic receipt generation.

Android‑powered payment technology is the backbone of a future‑ready checkout because it turns a traditional terminal into a flexible, updatable commerce hub. Ingenico’s AXIUM platform leverages Android to deliver a durable, high‑performance POS that can run a wide ecosystem of apps— from core payment processing to loyalty, digital receipts, and value‑added services— all while staying secure and PCI‑compliant through a modular, continuously‑updated OS. This open, developer‑friendly environment lets merchants integrate their own business applications via SDKs and APIs, roll out new features instantly, and adapt to emerging payment methods (e.g., QR‑code, BNPL, SoftPOS) without replacing hardware. The result is a consistent, scalable solution that reduces complexity, accelerates time‑to‑market, and ensures the checkout experience can evolve alongside consumer expectations and regulatory changes.

Yes. Smart payment terminals run Android, support third‑party apps, and can be leveraged as a platform for a wide range of business‑focused applications—from loyalty and analytics to full‑featured POS solutions.

Ingenico 360 is a cloud‑native, API‑driven platform that unifies device, software, and service management into a single, end‑to‑end environment. It centralises onboarding, configuration, remote diagnostics, firmware and app updates, and merchant‑facing services (digital receipts, analytics, self‑service tools) across all Ingenico and Android‑based terminals. By providing real‑time device visibility, secure remote access, flexible merchant tagging, and modular service tiers, the solution eliminates fragmented legacy estates, cuts support costs, accelerates new‑service roll‑outs, and unlocks revenue‑generating add‑ons—all while maintaining PCI‑DSS compliance and a secure, scalable architecture.

Switching devices mid‑sale is designed to be frictionless. All devices (fixed terminals, portable AXIUM units, SoftPOS phones) are managed from a single cloud console, so switching devices does not require manual re‑configuration; the new device inherits the same settings instantly.

A tecnologia de pagamento de nova geração combina APIs de open finance, transferências instantâneas em tempo real, checkout tokenizado/embebido, personalização baseada em IA e hardware POS nativo na cloud baseado em Android. Juntas, estas capacidades proporcionam um comércio mais rápido, seguro e fluido em todos os canais — online, na loja e em mobilidade.

Once you build an Android‑based payment app you can run it on any Ingenico Android terminal (AXIUM). Ingenico’s Global APIs are the same across the whole Android portfolio, so a single code base can be deployed everywhere. The Android platform’s unified OS and SDK also mean the same app package works on every device without rewrites.

Android POS terminals can indeed run AI‑powered use cases at the checkout. The AXIUM next‑generation devices are marketed as “AI‑ready” (cloud‑connected models that can invoke AI services) and “AI‑inside” (future edge models that embed CPUs, GPUs, NPUs, microphones, cameras and biometric sensors for on‑device inference). This enables real‑time privacy‑shield and fraud detection, smart upselling and personalized promotions, predictive maintenance alerts, conversational assistance for merchants, and AI‑driven loyalty or biometric flows—all executed directly on the terminal or via low‑latency cloud calls.

Next-generation Android payment terminals help small businesses deliver a modern payment experience while benefiting from the latest platform innovations. Features such as intuitive user interfaces, advanced security standards, remote software updates, and support for business applications help simplify daily operations and provide the flexibility to adapt to changing customer and business needs.
