Leading digital payment service Paytm on Monday launched an Android-based, pocked-sized point of sale (POS) device that is enabled with integrated billing software, camera for QR scanning and supports 4G SIM cards Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity.

Available for an introductory monthly rental of Rs 499, the ‘Paytm All-in-One Portable Android Smart POS’ can accept orders and payments on the go.

“This affordable pocket-sized Android POS device will enable everyone from SMEs (small and medium enterprises) to delivery personnel of kirana stores to collect payments safely,” said Renu Satti, Senior Vice President at Paytm.

According to the company, it is more powerful and secure than the portable Linux-based POS devices currently available in the country.

The POS device comes bundled with Paytm’s ‘Scan to Order’ service.

This is how it works.

The ergonomic device weighs 163 grams, is 12mm thick and has a 4.5-inch touch screen.

It comes with a powerful processor, all-day battery life, and an inbuilt camera to scan QR codes and instantly process payment.

The device has several industry-first features like Cloud-based software for billing, payments, and customer management.

It works with 4G SIM cards, Wi-Fi and has Bluetooth connectivity to ensure payments never fail and stays round the clock connected with all of Paytm’s bouquet of services.

The smart POS device is integrated with the ‘Paytm for Business’ app to generate GST compliant bills and also to manage all transactions and settlements, said the company.

The Paytm for Business App has witnessed over 20 million downloads and is one of the most popular merchant apps on Google Play Store and App Store.

“Our ‘Paytm for Business’ app, Khata and payout services are providing the much-needed digitisation support to businesses to improve their efficiency,” Satti said. IANS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising four eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the paper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
