SnapScan Launches The All-In-One SnapStore Pro Card Machine

SnapScan Launches The All-In-One SnapStore Pro Card Machine. With consumers demanding a variety of payment options, businesses need to offer a plethora of emerging payment methods or risk losing out on sales. The number of digital payment solutions on offer has risen sharply since the start of the global pandemic. Consumers are no longer confined to only paying with cash or their bank cards but have a plethora of options to choose from, including Google Pay and Apple Pay.

To avoid losing sales to their competitors, businesses need to be able to accept the increasing number of payment methods emerging onto the scene. It’s why Cape Town-based fintech, SnapScan, partnered with Standard Bank to develop the SnapStore Pro, an all-in-one card machine that can process multiple payment types.

SnapScan is no stranger to developing innovative payment tools. In 2013 the local payment service provider revolutionised mobile payments with their QR code payment technology. Now, they’ve combined their scan-to-pay offering with card and gadget pay acceptance to make it as simple as possible for small businesses to accept all their customers’ favourite payment methods from one device: the SnapStore Pro.

The SnapStore Pro allows customers to tap, insert, or swipe their bank cards, scan the on-screen SnapCode, or use Apple Pay, Samsung Pay or Garmin Pay. Businesses can also use the SnapStore Pro to ring up and record their cash payments. By having access to all these payment methods on one device, businesses can now accept all their customers preferred payment methods and decrease their risk of losing a sale.

SnapScan also settles every business day, which means businesses using the SnapStore Pro card machine will have quicker access to their hard-earned cash. Businesses that bank with Standard Bank will receive a next-business-day settlement, while other businesses will receive their settlement within 2–3 business days.
