“Our new app allows you to conveniently use payment terminal functions on phones, tablets and other Android devices. It is based on a solution that has already been successfully tested and adopted by users in several European markets, as well as based on feedback and guidance from our customers using the LikePOS application. We offer Polish entrepreneurs a new quality of a terminal on mobile, offering more options for easy and secure payment acceptance. Noteworthy features include the ability to integrate the terminal application with other sales or customer service applications. This means time savings, greater efficiency and convenience for entrepreneurs using our application, and their customers. These advantages are why we decided to replace the existing solution, LikePOS, with the new application called ‘eService tom’," says Joanna Seklecka, CEO of eService.
eService tom - Android app terminal with new features
The new eService tom app introduces a number of features and facilitations that improve the ease and efficiency of accepting payments. It can be used for both stationary and mobile operations – anywhere there is cellular or Wi-Fi coverage. It lets you handle payment transactions made with Visa and Mastercard contactless cards, GPay (Google Pay), Apple Pay and BLIK contactless payments. It also handles other contactless payments with a watch or other virtual card carriers.
In the new solution offered by eService, users gain convenient access to transaction history and easier handling of related operations, such as transaction cancellation directly in the application. To speed up the handling of typical transactions, they can also set predefined amounts, corresponding to the value of the most frequently accepted payments, and use a number of options for generating and sending transaction confirmations. Options include e-mail, SMS or QR code, and thanks to the ability to connect to a USB/Bluetooth printer, the traditional paper form.
An important feature of the solution is the ability to integrate the eService tom application with other sales or customer service applications. It makes it applicable, for example, in catering establishments, where it works with order processing systems, or in minibuses, where it works with ticketing applications.
LikePOS successor with new prospects
The introduction of the new application for accepting payments via Android phones and other devices is part of an effort to significantly increase the usability and versatility of such solutions. eService plans to increase their capabilities by adding more supported payment methods such as BLIK codes.
The capabilities of eService tom exceed those offered by LikePOS. This makes that with the release of the new application, the latter will be withdrawn from the offer, and shortly thereafter completely disabled.
