Expensive retail POS hardware

Hardware terminals are Dead

Traditional POS systems like Square or Verifone charge you hundreds of dollars upfront for a little plastic card reader, force you into software contracts, and then shave 3% off every single latte or shirt you sell.

If a customer walks in wanting to pay with Bitcoin, you can't just hand them a raw wallet address on a napkin. It's wildly unprofessional, you don't know the exact exchange rate at that second, and staff can easily make calculation errors.

"We run a chain of vape shops. Buying custom crypto hardware terminals for 12 locations was too expensive. With AlbaPay's Web POS, we just loaded the URL on our existing iPads. Staff trained in 2 minutes."

Over-the-counter Crypto

From typing the price to printing the receipt in seconds.

1

Open Browser

Simply navigate to the secure Web POS URL on any internet-connected device (smartphone, tablet, PC). No app store downloads needed.

Staff Types USD

The cashier punches in the total checkout amount in your local fiat currency (e.g., $14.50) and hits "Charge".

Customer Scans

The screen displays a dynamic QR code. The customer points their crypto wallet app at the screen to instantly pull the exact coin amount and wallet address.

Green Light

Within seconds, the Web POS detects the broadcasted transaction over websockets, flashes green, and the cashier knows they are safe to hand over the goods.

Web POS Features

Designed for fast-paced retail environments.

Restricted Staff Access

You don't want the cashier seeing your entire company revenue. The Web POS operates on a special "Terminal Link" that ONLY allows creating payments, with zero access to dashboard balances or settings.

Lightning Network Support

Nobody wants to wait 10 minutes at the register for a Bitcoin block to confirm. Our POS fully supports the Bitcoin Lightning Network for instant, near-zero fee settlements.

Optional Auto-Conversion

Your barista shouldn't have to worry about Dogecoin price dropping. You can set your POS to instantly convert all received crypto into EUR/USD fiat before it even hits your balance.

Cafe POS

  • Pop-up Shops & Events

    Selling merchandise at a tech conference or Bitcoin meetup? Don't rely on spotty card reader bluetooth connections. Just use your smartphone browser.

POS FAQs

Can my employees steal funds from the POS?

No. The Web POS interface generated from your dashboard is strictly "receive-only". It does not contain private keys, withdrawal features, or any ability to reverse transactions. It is simply a UI to generate invoice QR codes.

What if the blockchain is slow to confirm?

At the physical checkout counter, every second matters. Our system listens to the "Mempool" (unconfirmed transactions). If a customer sends funds with adequate network fees, the POS screen will flash a green "Payment Detected" state almost instantly, so you don't have to make the customer wait 10 minutes for full block confirmation.
