SG startup Qashier launches QR payment terminal

It accepts the majority of e-wallet QR payments and is expected to benefit hawkers and minimarts.

Singapore startup Qashier has launched a QR payment terminal equipped with real-time auditory alert capabilities.

The QashierPay Soundbox is a plug-and-play terminal meant to be the easiest way for businesses to accept QR payments, and offers an ultra-low cost device. This is touted as a possible gamechanger for small businesses and merchants handling a quick flow of transactions, such as hawkers and mini-marts.

The device accepts the majority of e-wallet QR payments, including PayNow-enabled apps Google Pay, GrabPay, DBS Paylah, Singtel Dash and more. It also services One Paynow QR code for a smoother checkout experience for customers.

Merchants, meanwhile, are offered real-time history viewing of past transactions through QashierHQ.

The first 1,000 businesses to register between 10 January to 29 February 2024 can claim a complimentary QashierPay Soundbox. They will also enjoy a waiver of transaction fees until the end of March 2024.

Exclusive to the launch, these merchants can enjoy an additional S$100 cashback upon reaching S$10,000 in transactions.
