Adyen takes wraps off in-house designed payments terminal range
Adyen has launched its first in-house designed payments terminals, running on the company’s single technology platform.
Said platform acts as a payment gateway, payment service provider and offers risk management and local acquiring.
“Our commitment is to help businesses realise their ambitions faster, and creating our own terminals is the latest way we’re delivering on this promise,” says Kamran Zaki, COO at Adyen.
“We always innovate based on customer feedback to deliver superior experiences with speed and flexibility. With our in-person payments offering, businesses have a full suite of terminals to choose from, enabling them to pick the best one to meet their specific needs.”
“By taking ownership of the terminal design, Adyen is assuring we put customer needs at the heart of their functionality,” says Derk Busser, VP of Product, In-Person Payments.
“Our goal is to continuously reduce friction within the consumer journey.”
“By designing highly mobile devices, we’re empowering businesses to collect payments not only when behind a checkout counter - but anywhere. The breadth of use cases this mobility provides signifies an exciting development in advanced, in-person purchases.”
The first terminal in the suite is the NYC1, pitched as being ideal for businesses that have already invested in hardware like phones or tablets and want to add payments to their set-up.
A key use case is platforms who want to offer a simple and affordable payment device to their small business customers.
Adyen says that there is also strong usability among enterprises who see mobility as a way to deliver more seamless in-person experiences - from mitigating long lines at checkout to freeing up sales associates to provide more personalised service.
The NYC1 terminal is available now in North America, with coverage extending to other regions soon.
The second is the AMS1, an all-in-one terminal with an Android operating system that businesses can use to accept payments as well as run their own business applications.
This is aimed at enterprise and platform businesses that want to be able to access all operational apps via one device. The terminal will be globally available later this year, starting with Europe and North America.
