Paystack Terminal helps modern teams in Africa build custom, delightful in-person payments experiences that keep customers coming back.
We believe that your point-of-sale device should work harder for you
Most POS devices accept only card payments. Paystack Terminal provides several channels through which customers can pay.
Card (Visa, Mastercard, Verve)
USSD (Multiple banks)
Bank Transfers
See individual Terminal payments in real time on the Paystack Dashboard (and not as one lump-sum) and save countless hours during reconciliation.
Quickly reconcile multiple POS devices across multiple stores
Reconcile both online and offline payments on the same Dashboard
Monitor payments in real time via the Paystack mobile app
Tired of your point-of-sale systems failing due to poor connectivity? Terminal devices have both wifi connectivity as well as a global SIM card, which allows your Terminal automatically switch to the data signal with the strongest network connection.
For companies with different lines of business, Paystack Terminal allows you to take one payment, and automatically pay different amounts into separate bank accounts.
For example, a school might want to accept a single card payment, and automatically pay a fraction of the payment to the Admissions team, a fraction to the Textbooks team, and a fraction to the Canteen.
Paystack Terminal is completely programmable. This means that developers can build custom apps to create unique branded experiences.
What kinds of app experiences can you build?
Our ambition for Terminal is to be a platform that allows developers build and distribute apps for the thousands of businesses processing payments with Paystack.
As a developer, you will have unrivalled distribution to some of the most forward-thinking teams operating in Africa, and as a business, you will receive access to a growing collection of upgrades that ensure your Terminal gets smarter and more powerful with time. Watch this space!
Integrate seamlessly with all of your existing POS systems.
“We wanted an exceptional payments partner because we promise our customers that we'll deliver them great flame-grilled burgers, and they can pay, their way. Paystack helped us to implement a self-serve “build your own burger” experience using Terminal which has been a huge success.”
“Besides the speed and reliability of transactions, what’s special about Terminal is that it integrates seamlessly with our system. From a single dashboard, we can easily analyse, reconcile, and make strategic decisions for our business.”
“Terminal prints out receipts really quickly. Other POS readers take about 5 to 6 seconds for the printouts to come out, which can be frustrating if the customer is waiting. Transactions are also processed much faster than any other POS we use. That's really important because you can collect more money from more customers in a shorter amount of time.”
“We've worked with Paystack for a long time and when they introduced us to Terminal it was a no-brainer. We depend on the device across our stores in Nigeria and we will continue to use them as we expand to more stores.”
There are several ways that ambitious teams can leverage Terminal to drive growth. Here are a few examples

No. You don’t need a developer to set up or use Terminal. The User Guide provides simple instructions on how to get started. If you want to build complex automation, however, you may require the services of a developer if you’re non-technical.
