Handpoint has announced its partnership with MagicCube to provide a solution offering a powerful, secure software product which eliminates the requirements and costs for payments terminal hardware.
This partnership will enable MagicCube’s softPOS i-Accept product to be embedded into the Handpoint platform, offering a unified user experience across softPOS, mPOS and smartPOS.
Handpoint is offering unified, contactless payment acceptance through MagicCube’s technology for softPOS. With the integration of MagicCube’s softPOS solution, developing its software terminal into a software-only solution to accept contactless (NFC) and optional PIN payments.
Handpoint’s software terminal was built to support softPOS, therefore allowing the same app for its current mPOS and smartPOS solutions to accept contactless transactions directly on a smart device. ISV partners of multi-vertical or vertical-specific POS systems can therefore incorporate softPOS into their POS solutions while continuing to deliver a secure and frictionless checkout experience with an easy merchant set-up through Handpoint’s remote Terminal Management System (TMS).
David Gudjonsson, CEO and Co-Founder of Handpoint, commented:
“SoftPOS is the future evolution of the payments industry, and it forms an important piece of the puzzle for a complete payments platform.In order to cater for needs of merchants of different sizes with one integration for all requirements and platforms, we needed to add robust softPOS to our platform. It was clear that MagicCube’s i-Accept is the leading product in the category, with an impressive, device-independent security platform that offers not just Tap-on-Phone, but also a full suite of secure payments products. We’re excited to partner with MagicCube to integrate our core systems and build on each other’s expertise to promptly provide a market-leading softPOS solution suite for partners and merchants to start benefitting from software-only checkouts.”
Sam Shawki, CEO and co-founder of MagicCube, commented:
