What is the Business Terminal device?

To see the Business Terminal in 3D, check out our video here! The Business Terminal is an elegant all-in-one solution for countertop payments. A WiFi-based device with a 5.5-in touchscreen display, it is ideal for static businesses taking in-person payments.

Simply enter a charge or select from your product grid and let your customer choose how to pay. The Business Terminal accepts all major card types using contactless, chip and PIN, and magstripe – plus mobile payments like Apple Pay and Google Pay.

Device specification:

  • Dimensions: 162 x 81 x 22.2 mm

  • Weight: 318g

  • Power supply: USB-C cable. Lithium Polymer rechargeable battery, 3.7V

  • Connectivity: Wi-Fi (and Ethernet via Hub)

  • Payment methods: Magstripe, Chip (EMV), Contactless (EMV + NFC), Apple Pay, Google Pay

Do I need WiFi?

Yes, WiFi is required at all times. The Business Terminal does not have mobile connectivity so it is not suited to mobile businesses.

An Ethernet connection can be used with the Business Terminal Hub - available to purchase separately soon. It is also possible to tether from your smartphone but data costs may be incurred.

Can I print receipts?

The Business Terminal does not include a printer - however you can send an e-receipt from it via SMS or email. Alternatively, a separate printer that connects via Bluetooth will be available for purchase soon.

Do I need my phone as well as the Business Terminal?

The Business Terminal is a standalone device so when taking payments, your Business Terminal needs to be connected to WiFi, but not your smartphone.

However you do need the Lopay App on your smartphone to set up your Business Terminal and for some aspects of managing your Lopay account - e.g. editing your product grid, sending a payment link, managing team members, adding a bank account etc.

Please note: It is not possible to send Payment Links from the Business Terminal. You will need to open the Lopay app on a mobile or tablet to send Payment Links.

How does the Business Terminal drive customer loyalty?

With payment loyalty on the Business Terminal you can reward your customers for loyal behaviour without requiring that they carry a loyalty card around or download an app. Your customers will be rewarded by simply paying with their usual way: card / phone / watch… However your customers want to pay.
