POS terminal
Take cards, TWINT and wallets at the counter or on the move, with the SIM included. CHF 25.- a month.
With 1pay.ch you choose between two terminals: the Nexgo N86, complete with receipt printer, Wi-Fi, SIM and charging base, ideal for the counter; and the Nexgo N6, compact and light, without printer, ideal if you get paid on the move.
Both cost CHF 25.- a month, SIM included, with no up-front cost. They work even without Wi-Fi and every payment shows up straight away in your dashboard.
