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.

Android POS terminals (AXIUM Android) run a unified Android OS that can host any payment‑application that follows the device’s SDK, so merchants can install and run local or alternative payment apps (e.g., QR‑code wallets, NFC‑based contactless schemes, country‑specific mobile wallets, prepaid or voucher solutions) side‑by‑side with traditional EMV card apps. Because the platform is open, the same terminal can present the customer with multiple payment options on the screen, route each transaction through the appropriate gateway, and settle them in a single flow—letting you accept cards, local digital wallets, QR‑based payments, and other emerging methods without needing separate hardware.

Acquirers can turn Android POS terminals into recurring, services‑driven profit centers by bundling SaaS‑style value‑added apps (loyalty, digital receipts, BNPL, analytics) on top of the payment flow, offering subscription or usage fees that scale with merchant volume. They can also deploy SoftPOS to let any Android device become a secure, contact‑less acceptance point, which reduces hardware CAPEX and creates new per‑device or per‑transaction licensing revenue. Acquirers can embed payments and banking experiences (in‑store wallets, account‑to‑account, tokenised card‑on‑file) directly into the Android app ecosystem, unlocking fees from embedded finance products. They can also monetise the rich sales and customer‑behavior data generated by these terminals through premium analytics dashboards or data‑as‑a‑service offerings.

Android POS terminals are built for self‑service and unattended use through rugged, weather‑proof enclosures (IP65/IK09), universal payment acceptance (chip‑&‑pin, contactless, QR, NFC, etc.), and modular hardware that can be tailored with readers, cameras or printers for kiosks, vending or parking stations. Cloud-based Payment terminal management services (Ingenico 360) enable remote updates, health monitoring and subscription‑based value‑added features, while the Android OS (e.g., AXIUM SX series) provides on‑device AI capabilities for fraud detection, personalized upselling and predictive maintenance, delivering a secure, flexible and revenue‑generating solution for unattended environments.
