Merchant commerce omnichannel platform, Pine Labs has announced the launch of Mini, a revolutionary QR and Card acceptance device.
Expected to be available at nearly one-third of the cost of a regular Point of Sale (PoS) terminal, Pine Labs Mini is described as “an ideal solution for small merchants.”
Most PoS devices in India are “tailored for debit/credit card customers.” For the first time, Pine Labs is introducing in India “a QR-first and card tap contactless payments device targeted at SMEs.” This price-friendly product is “expected to further boost digital payments adoption in India.”
Navnit Nakra, CRO, Pine Labs, said:
“QR-based and card tap payments are a perfect solve for Indian consumers on the go. On the merchant-side, an absolute must is a fast checkout experience and elimination of the cost barrier in point-of-sale digitisation. Addressing these needs, we are delighted to launch a QR-first, card accepting, cost-effective PoS solution called Pine Labs Mini.”
