"Poynt makes the payment experience easy and engaging for customers,
which is not something they've experienced with traditional payment
terminals," said Mia Huntington, general manager Canada for Elavon. "It
builds trust and loyalty for businesses while protecting their payment
data. It is also scalable, so it can flex and grow with the business."
The technology is ideal for a variety of business types, including
retail, lodging, restaurants and health and wellness. Merchant
conveniences like real-time reporting, apps, and a built-in scanner and
printer coupled with customer-favorite features like a second screen
with private tipping options set the Poynt terminal apart.
Poynt was started in
2013 by Google Wallet founder and former PayPal (News - Alert) executive Osama Bedier.
"We are proud to expand into Canada with Elavon; we are thrilled to be
the first to offer businesses the ability to create the most modern
payment experience for their customers thanks to sleek features and
ultimate payment flexibility," said Mr. Osama Bedier, CEO of Poynt.
Poynt combines the versatility of mobile technology with the latest in
payments to create a future-proof terminal. Some notable features of the
Poynt Smart Terminal include:
-
Ultimate payment flexibility: Customers can pay via chip and
pin, Interac or contactless, including mobile payments using Apple (News - Alert)
Pay® and Android Pay™.
-
Truly mobile terminal: Built-in wi-fi and broadband
capabilities enable businesses to accept payments at the counter,
in-aisle, at the table, or wherever their customers want to pay.
-
Powerful reporting and settlements: The user-friendly HQ
dashboard provides real-time access to reporting, and is available
directly from the terminal screen, or via the web or mobile device.
This allows businesses to closely monitor sales and transaction
activity, providing immediate insight into critical operational trends.
