Set Up EPOS

EPOS integration enables a Point of Sale system to send payment commands to the terminal over a local network using REST API. The terminal receives the command and displays the payment screen for the customer to complete the transaction—typically in a customer-facing setup.

This mode suits merchants with more complex environments, allowing the terminal to interact with external systems like order management platforms or POS devices.

This guide helps you integrate a PAX terminal with the Paynt POS app into your Point of Sale device and complete your first EPOS transaction.
