In the dynamic landscape of Fintech and point-of-sale systems (POS), where innovation and efficiency are paramount, the terms “embedded” and “integrated” have gained significant prominence. When it comes to payments, these terms hold more than just semantic distinctions. In this blog post, we’ll dive into why Qashier proudly emphasizes its POS and payments solution as “embedded” rather than merely “integrated.”
The Essence of Integration
“Integrated” is a term often used to describe the connection of two products or solutions. Integrated systems facilitate communication between different components, enabling them to work together seamlessly. However, this level of connection is functional, representing a surface-level collaboration between two distinct entities – for example POS and payments.
In this instance, integration means a communication channel between two solutions, allowing them to interact on a basic level. This integration, while effective, falls short of creating a unified, cohesive, and deeply interconnected experience for both merchants and customers.
Embedded. From the ground up.
An embedded system goes beyond just two products that communicate at a functional level but is built as part of the overall solution and not an afterthought.
Embedded payments provide a deeper and more cohesive connection between the hardware, software and the payment process – becoming an inseparable component of the holistic business solution.
The Deeper Connection: Embedded Payments
Qashier’s distinctive approach lies in embracing the concept of “embedded” payments. In the context of Qashier, it involves designing payment capabilities from the ground up, ensuring they are an integral part of the entire business structure.
