Running a booth or taking part in an event is another way to lift sales for your business. Beyond the takings, it also puts you in front of new groups of customers, builds credibility and gets the word out about what you do. And when it comes to making a good impression and trading smoothly away from your usual premises, having the right POS and payment terminal really matters.
Money is the part that matters most, and booths and events are often busy places where things go wrong: totals rung up incorrectly, a scan that never lands in your account, customers faking a transfer, and so on.
At Qashier we understand what operators and shop owners need, so we have put together two options for businesses that take their trade on the road regularly.
1. The QashierPay Soundbox payment terminal
A PromptPay scan-to-pay terminal that makes taking payment easier than before, thanks to Dynamic QR, which locks in the amount for the customer to transfer, and to spoken confirmation of the amount received.
What makes the Soundbox stand out
This is a payment terminal with a voice, taking payment through a QR code shown on its own screen. Once the money lands, the device speaks the amount received out loud.
It is compact but has a large screen, and it is portable thanks to a built-in battery.
How the Soundbox works
1. Once a shop has its Soundbox and has registered the necessary details, switch the device on, connect it to Wi-Fi or 4G, and it is ready to use straight away.
2. To use it, simply key in the amount you want the customer to pay and press ENTER.
3. The device displays a Dynamic QR code on its screen.
4. When the customer scans it, the amount appears for them automatically — all they have to do is tap to transfer.
5. Once the customer transfers and the money lands, the device announces the amount received out loud.
6. The transfer is recorded in the system and can be looked up later.
7. Shops can turn the volume up or down whenever they need to.
The QashierPay Soundbox suits…
– Shops looking for an easy, uncomplicated way to take payment, or that already have other back-office or stock management in place
– Shops with fixed or straightforward pricing
– Shops looking for a payment device that costs less than a full POS system
– Food businesses, food trucks, food booths and food stalls
2. And if your shop or business is looking for a front-of-house till and POS terminal, we would recommend Qashier POS
What can a Qashier POS terminal do?
Qashier POS comes with a complete shop management system that makes selling and running the business more efficient. Its features cover sales, product management, payments, stock, membership and staff management, along with an online back office where shops can manage product and menu data, set up promotions and view sales reports.
There is also QR code ordering, a loyalty points system, credits and packages, and much more besides.
It can, of course, take payment by Dynamic QR PromptPay (scan to pay with the amount locked in), which makes collecting payment easier and gives shops confidence that the money really has come through.
It also connects to a range of accessories — cash drawers, barcode scanners and printers — to make running the shop that much easier.
The Qashier POS terminals best suited to booths and events are these:
QashierXS
Qashier’s portable POS terminal. It stands out for being light while still having a large 6-inch touchscreen, with a battery and printer built in, which makes it easy to carry and use away from the shop.
QashierX1
A dual touchscreen POS terminal: big screens without the bulk, so the work flows more easily. It also has a printer built in, and a battery, so it can be used on a counter or carried around.
QashierX2
The newest dual touchscreen POS terminal from Qashier, with a higher specification that keeps everything running smoothly.
It also supports a charging dock, so shops can lift the QashierX2 in and out as suits the way they work, and there is an extension hub to keep the cables running to the QashierX2 neat and tidy.
With a range of form factors that all run the same POS system, shops can pick the terminal that fits how they work without a second thought.
On top of that, there is the advantage of a front-of-house POS terminal with a built-in battery, in a good-looking design that suits a booth of any kind.
