I'm sceptical, anytime someone wants to bind you to a processing solution with software.

Hi Marci, Appreciate the reply. One of the reason Poynt is interesting is they don't require you to a specific processor.

It looks very convenient. I see it will take applepay. Will it also take cryptocurrency transactions as this technology becomes main stream?

Gary Malkin from Blue Pebble Solutions, Inc.

Hi Kelly, Please take a look and share your thoughts here. It has a very flexible app structure and may potentially allow cryptocurrency payments by installing third party apps.

Point is very good for what it was designed to do It will support many things pay at the table is just one, email marketing and much more I recommend it for small to medium size businesses. And it is supported by many top processors it's a winner.

Hi Michael, Thanks for your reply. Have you heard back any of your customers on any negative or positive experiences?

My understanding is the Poynt isn't actually a POS, so if you're looking for full POS system, i would recommend looking elsewhere.

Gary Malkin from Blue Pebble Solutions, Inc.

Good point - its not a full POS. I updated the question to reflect to request comments on it as a "Smart Terminal"

Gary,

Smart terminals are definitely the way to go in the payment processing industry. Not only are they PCI compliant (saving you chargeback disputes and monthly fees), but they accept everything. Our favorite, though, is the Smart EMV Terminal because it accepts EMV chip, magnetic stripe, NFC-enabled phones, mobile wallets, Apple watch, checks, and it captures digital signatures. We also offer it to you for free if you have a high enough monthly sales history.

The Poynt smart terminal is the best thing ever, you are free to use whatever POS software you already use and yes it works with a variety of different processors including Payvida Solutions Inc.
