Point of Sale (POS)

Set up in-store payment acceptance with QR codes, NFC tap-to-pay, and Danipa's point of sale features.

Overview

Danipa's POS features let you accept payments from customers at your physical store, market stall, or event. No special hardware required — just your smartphone.

Requirement: POS features require a Merchant Account with Premium KYC tier.

Payment Methods

QR Code Payments

The simplest way to accept in-person payments:

Static QR Code — a permanent code you print and display at your counter:

1. Go to Merchant Dashboard → POS → QR Code
2. Your unique merchant QR code is displayed
3. Options:
   • Download — save as image to print
   • Print — send to a connected printer
   • Order standee — request a branded acrylic standee (shipping fees apply)

Customers scan your QR code with their Danipa app, enter the amount, and pay.

Dynamic QR Code — generated for each transaction with a specific amount:

1. Go to POS → New Sale
2. Enter the amount
3. Add a description (optional)
4. A QR code is generated on your screen
5. The customer scans and confirms — no need to enter the amount

Tap-to-Pay (NFC)

Accept contactless payments using your smartphone's NFC:

1. Go to POS → Tap to Pay
2. Enter the sale amount
3. Hold your phone near the customer's NFC-enabled phone
4. The customer confirms the payment in their app
5. You both receive confirmation

Note: Both devices must support NFC. Available on most modern Android phones and iPhones.

Manual Entry

For phone orders or when scanning isn't possible:

1. Go to POS → New Sale
2. Enter the amount
3. Enter the customer's phone number or Danipa ID
4. A payment request is sent to the customer
5. The customer approves in their app

Setting Up Your POS

1. Go to Merchant Dashboard → POS → Settings
2. Fill in:
   • Store name — displayed to customers during payment

   • Receipt message — custom thank-you message on receipts

Staff Accounts

Allow your employees to accept payments by assigning one of three roles:

1. Go to POS → Staff

4. Assign a role:

5. The staff member receives an invitation to download the Danipa POS app

Tips

• Display your QR code prominently — at the counter, on the wall, and at each table (for restaurants)
• Use the product catalog — speeds up checkout and reduces errors
• Run end-of-day reports — catch discrepancies early
• Train your staff — ensure they know how to process sales and refunds
• Keep your phone charged — a dead phone means no sales
