14.1 Overview

PayWithCrypto’s Point-of-Sale (POS) machines are an essential part of our mission to bring seamless, real-world crypto payment solutions to merchants across Southeast Asia and beyond. These devices are designed to simplify crypto transactions at physical retail locations, enabling businesses to accept digital assets just as easily as cash or credit cards.

Our POS machines bridge the gap between traditional retail systems and Web3 by providing a secure, fast, and user-friendly crypto payment interface. With end-to-end integration into the PayWithCrypto ecosystem, merchants can enjoy a fully non-custodial experience, eliminating third-party risk while maintaining full control of their assets.

14.2 Key Features

·         Multi-Token Acceptance\
Supports a wide range of cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, and major tokens on chains like BNB Chain, Arbitrum, and Polygon.

·         Non-Custodial by Design\
Merchants receive payments directly to their wallets. No intermediaries, no custody—just pure peer-to-peer transactions powered by smart contracts.

·         Fiat Display & Conversion\
Real-time conversion of crypto prices into local fiat currencies (THB, VND, PHP, etc.) for ease of use. Merchants see exactly what they’re earning.

·         Instant Settlement\
Transactions are finalized within seconds, thanks to our optimized layer-2 integration and network architecture.

·         QR & NFC Compatible\
Customers can pay via QR scan or tap-to-pay using wallet apps, making it intuitive even for first-time users.

·         Offline Readiness\
POS machines can queue transactions during temporary network outages and sync once the connection is restored.

·         Custom Reporting Dashboard\
Each machine links to a backend dashboard where merchants can track sales, view transaction history, and generate daily or monthly summaries.
