Unattended Payments:
Self-Service Terminals
An unattended terminal, unlike conventional payment terminals that require personnel, is designed for self-service environments where the entire recharge or payment process is carried out by the customer himself. In addition, in advanced devices such as the Android IN20, it is possible to install applications and integrate them with management software, thus improving the user experience.
Frequently Asked Questions - Unattended Payments
What is an unattended dataphone?
It is the same as an unattended terminal, i.e. a device that can charge in places where there is no person behind it, operating autonomously.
We also find the so-called semi-served, which will serve for sectors in which there is personal attention, but at the same time it is the customer who performs the management.
What types of card readings are supported by ITOS self-service terminals?
Magnetic stripe cards
EMV chip cards: EMV chip cards (Europay, MasterCard, Visa) are supported. These cards have an integrated chip that provides an additional layer of security and authentication.
Contactless reading: Some Smart POS are compatible with proximity cards, such as RFID (radio frequency identification) cards. These cards allow contactless transactions, which is especially useful in fast-payment environments.
Smart cards: They can support smart cards, which are cards with embedded microprocessors. These cards are used in advanced applications, such as secure identification systems and access to services.
It is important to check the specifications of the specific terminal you are considering to ensure that it is compatible with the types of cards you wish to accept in your business.
In which environments can it be useful to place unattended payment devices?
ITOS unattended dataphones streamline the payment process in environments and sectors where there is no person to be attended. This includes vending machines, self-service spaces, vehicle recharging stations, indoor and outdoor parking meters.
