An Android Payment Terminal
This revolutionary terminal relies on the Android infrastructure, showcasing its technical and material characteristics.
Android has allowed Yavin and its many partners to develop numerous services that go well beyond simple cashing.
The list is long, and we detail below the applications that have impressed us the most.
Attention: With the Yavin Terminal, you cannot use Google’s PlayStore as on your Smartphone. Yavin must validate and approve each application made for the payment terminal for security reasons.
Don’t imagine playing Candy Crush on your payment terminal ☺
What applications are available on the Yavin Terminal ?
Yavin created useful business apps to help merchants.
Yavin Pay Application
This program starts when you turn on your Yavin Terminal, allowing you to get all kinds of payments automatically.
- CB, VISA MASTERCARD payments
- Contactless, Apple Pay, Google Pay
- AMEX, CUP
- QR code: Lydia, RestoFlash, Bitcoin, Wechat, AliPay
- Deposit Taking
The payment is fast and intuitive. You can easily switch from a traditional card payment to a QR code payment.
The Yavin Terminal’s value comes after payment, especially with the receipt app, not just at the time of purchase.
The personalized receipt
Once the user makes the payment, the system displays a page showing the payment receipt.
This feature is highly useful for three reasons.
- Ecological: No need to print a ticket; you can print it only on demand from your customers.
- Financial: Eliminates the necessity to purchase rolls of tickets.
- Smart: By sending the ticket by email or SMS to your customers, you keep their contacts. You can contact them for your marketing campaigns (with their consent of course, GDPR obliges)
You can custom the printed ticket with your Logo, a text, AND an intelligent QR code provided by Yavin. We love it… But if you no longer print it…
Opening and Closing of Cash Register
Yavin aims to simplify the process of closing cash registers by including this feature into the Yavin Pay app. The goal is to improve the old ticket printed by all merchants at the closure of their shop.
The Yavin Terminal allows you to print a simple summary, accessible digitally on the terminal, and printable.
Tips Application for Payment Terminal
Yavin offers helpful applications like TIPS for restaurant and salon owners and other service businesses. You can proactively offer customers to leave a tip during their payment.
The observation is simple: customers now almost exclusively pay by credit cards and therefore leave fewer tips. This application allows generating tips again.
Surely a way to keep your server brigade motivated at a low cost.
A Super Interesting Price-Quality Ratio
Yavin’s model is as follows. You can benefit from the Yavin Terminal and all its applications for £25 per month.
The cost-benefit balance appears to be favorable IF you intend to utilize the suggested applications. Without them, more basic options such as those provided by SumUp could be slightly more affordable.
But the price is extremely competitive because the package allows you to:
- Take advantage of Yavin’s low fees. You can also use the contract from a third-party bank. This ensures you always get the best deal on your commissions. You are significantly under the 1.69% charged by SumUp or Zettle.
- The price includes the 4G data plan.
- The applications do not exist elsewhere or traditional bank models would charge a fortune for them.
- The benefits you can derive from the apps significantly surpass the cost of the subscription.
The Yavin Terminal is the best Android terminal on the market
Android payment terminals are most certainly the future of cashing devices. Yavin is the first company to have taken advantage of Android’s potential by offering innovative applications impossible on a traditional Verifone terminal.
Yavin Terminal can help improve your business by offering the option to pay in parts, tips, or use QR code for payment.
On the other hand, if you have simple needs and make few cash-ins, prefer the SumUp Air or Solo.
