The Industry

Smart POS is growing from payment tools to integrated merchant service platforms engaged in "payment access + data collection + operation management + financial services". Smart PO devices are positioned in the middle of the internet-based e-payment industrial chain and play a key role in connecting upstream and downstream by absorbing merchant traffic and providing quality services. Upstream, it can join hands with third-py software developers to promote stores; downstream, it serves as a payment portal for acquirers, UnionPay, WeChat Pay, Alipay, etc., and boosts added value for merchants through operations data analysis, membership marketing and management, and the provision of financial services.

Smart POS is expected to replace traditional POS at a higher speed. With its rise, POS machine manufacturers will have access to a greatly expanded playing field, together with all players along the industry chain. The machines themselves are also positioned to join in terminal transactions, with data and value-added service capabilities, thus gaining greater bargaining power. With their business scopes gradually expanded to transaction commissions and value-added services, POS can extend their own business chain and develop closed-loop solutions through broad business partnerships, and mergers and acquisitions.
