In our previous article we looked at why contactless payment has grown so popular — speed, security and lower costs being the obvious reasons. If you want your business to do well, you need to add contactless payment to meet what your customers are asking for.
More to the point, if you still only take cash you may be missing chances your business needs in order to grow, because contactless payment brings plenty of benefits for you as well.
It opens up new opportunities to grow
In a competitive market, customers expect a business to give them a good experience. Contactless payment — scan-to-pay, for instance — is one of the things they look for, and it is a route to growth for your business.
Adopting contactless payment technology shows that you are thinking ahead about how your business develops and that you are open to new things. It also brings in more of the customers who pay contactlessly as a matter of course.
It guards against fraud
Taking contactless payment makes your transactions safer. The first thing it does is protect against unauthorised access to data, theft and fraud.
You may have had customers pay short, or claim they were given the wrong change. With contactless payment everything is recorded digitally, and every transaction is logged.
Then there is handling the money itself. With cash, counting it, banking it and giving change can all go wrong. Contactless payment is usually cashless, which makes running the shop that much easier.
And if you use Dynamic QR Payment for scan-to-pay, you take it a step further: customers scan and pay without keying in an amount, and the amount received is confirmed automatically.
It strengthens your relationship with customers
Taking contactless payment means having the right equipment, or printing an extra QR code. Qashier's POS hardware can take contactless payments, and — importantly — a POS system usually comes with customer management and purchase tracking built in, so a shop can gather information about its customers whenever they buy something and pay contactlessly.
Once you have that insight into how customers spend, you know and understand them better, and you can give them what they want. You can also use a loyalty points scheme to help gather customer information.
Start taking contactless payment with QR
Scanning a PromptPay QR code has become the main way households pay for things. The Bank of Thailand's statistics on payment volumes by system and channel show substantial growth in e-payment transactions, which reached 28.11 million in 2022, up from 20.66 million in 2021, and kept growing through 2023. Retail transfers made from mobile devices, such as PromptPay, reached 13.7 million transactions last year — around 48% more than the year before.
Qashier POS is ready to help your business take contactless, cashless payment by QR, both through PromptPay and through Cross Border QR Payment (paying across borders by QR code).
You can add more payment methods too, by connecting Qashier POS to an EDC terminal to take credit cards.
