The Electronic Payment Terminal (EPT ) is the classic solution par excellence. It reassures customers, is installed at the counter, and accepts all payment methods, including contactless and PIN codes.

At Easytransac, we've modernized the concept: our Eftpos terminals are mobile, with no commitment, and operate on 4G or Wi-Fi.

Why choose a TPE Easytransac?

You only pay for what you use: available to rent or buy, just a commission on the transaction >>. See our rates.

Each solution has its own advantages. It all depends on your business, your working environment, and your priorities (mobility, equipment, perceived image, etc.).

Note that if you're hosting a major event, it's advisable to use cashless-compatible payment terminals(cashless media: wristband or card) to avoid cash theft and fraud, and to monitor transaction flows.

  • No equipment required
  • Fast, no-obligation activation

  • SoftPOS in the field, to cash in wherever their business takes them (contactless CB cash-in, by transfer or payment link only)
