Point of Sale

Introduction

Integrating a point of sale (POS) terminal with Centrapay APIs allows merchants to accept payment via any Centrapay-enabled apps without installing additional POS hardware or software.

Payment Flow

QR Code Flow: the POS displays a QR code for the patron to scan with their Centrapay app.
Barcode Flow: the POS scans a barcode presented by the patron.

Interface Guidelines

Use the Centrapay Logos when building the UI for Centrapay payments.

Payment Option

Always display Centrapay as a payment option. Choose the Centrapay logo format that best suits the POS system's design. Use the Centrapay brand orange wherever possible.

QR Code

The payment QR code screen must display the Centrapay logo, for example above or below the QR code, or in the centre of the QR code. The copy can be "Scan to pay" or "Scan to pay with Centrapay".
