Integrating TWINT into your POS system
More and more people are using TWINT to pay small and large amounts – easily, securely and quickly. By integrating TWINT® into your POS system, you can offer your customers the option of paying with Switzerland’s most popular payment app.
Your benefits
With TWINT, you can offer your customers the most popular payment option in Switzerland.
You can activate TWINT on many common POS systems. All you need to do is head to the TWINT Business Portal and register or log in, contact the integration partner for your POS software and activate TWINT. You don’t need another POS system or an additional payment terminal. As soon as TWINT is enabled, your customers will be able to pay with their smartphone.
With real-time push notifications, you’ll be notified immediately when a customer makes a payment. You can also check all payments in the TWINT Business Portal, even retrospectively. Since you’ll have less (or no) cash in the cash register, the risk of theft is low – your money is secure and will be credited directly to your account.
With TWINT, all your customers need to do is scan the QR code on the checkout screen and confirm the payment – that’s it. The process is so quick that there’s no time for queues to build up at the checkout, and it’s even faster if your customers have installed the handy TWINT widget for iOS or the Android tile. Either way, your money will be in your account the next day.
With TWINT, you benefit from great value for money when it comes to smartphone payments. You only pay a fixed percentage, regardless of the amount – there’s no minimum charge and no fixed fees. We believe in being upfront, which is why we provide transparent information about fees for TWINT transactions.
