Supported Mobile Point-of-Sale Solutions

Card Present Connect supports these mPOS solutions for authorization and sale transactions:
mPOS payments using an embedded reader and software PIN entry
This solution is used to process mobile point-of-sale (mPOS) transactions using an embedded reader with software PIN entry. The customer taps a contactless card or payment-enabled smartphone, smart watch, or other wearable device over a contactless-enabled reader and then enters their PIN on the embedded reader to verify their identity.

mPOS using an embedded reader and software with no PIN entry
This solution is used to process mobile point-of-sale (mPOS) transactions using an embedded reader and software with no PIN entry. The customer taps a contactless card or payment-enabled smartphone, smart watch, or other wearable device over a contactless-enabled reader. No PIN entry is required because each transaction is accompanied by a unique token (one-time code), similar to contact EMV transactions.
