Transform your smartphone/tablet into a POS device

Estel’s m-POS Solution is a unique, cost-effective mobility solution that allows android devices such as smartphones and tablets to be used as Mobile POS (mPOS) systems, with the same capabilities as traditional POS (Point of Sale) terminals to accept & process card based payment transactions.. It enables retailers and merchants to open a new channel of service for their card based customers. The solution diminishes long queues, while providing extended product information to aid selling and enhancing the shopping experience through a digital interface.

Estel's m-POS Solution is a high availability, robust and flexible solution that can be integrated either with an acquiring bank’s switch or Payment Service Provider’s switch. The distributed architecture is scalable both vertically and horizontally – from catering to thousand customers to millions at a nominal cost

Estel mPOS (Mobile Point of Sale)

mPOS stands for Mobile Point of Sale (POS), which is a merchant payment solution from Estel. A smartphone, combined with an mPOS application & external Bluetooth card reader, turns the mobile phone into a card-accepting POS terminal. This enables merchants to accept card payments, in the same way as traditional POS terminals, but at a fraction of the cost, and with convenience & flexibility of full mobility (Anytime, Anywhere).

A traditional POS (also popular as credit card terminal) hardware is quite expensive requiring significant investment, which is often not feasible for small merchants. An Estel mPOS on the other hand is inexpensive compared to the traditional POS. In most countries, a large number of people do not have access to banking & financial services, whereas they either have a mobile phone or have access to a mobile phone & service.

Estel m-POS platform is operated by Acquiring Banks, or Payment Service Providers, to enable merchants to accept card payments using their mobile phones. Additionally, merchants get online access to real-time sales & transaction reports, which help them gain valuable information about their consumer’s behaviour.
